I do BIAB and my gravities are always a bit low. Did a DIPA tonight that came in at 1.071 instead of 1.077. Not a big deal, but I still feel like I'm wasting and doing something wrong.
Currently, I remove the bag, hold it above the kettle for a bit, then move it to a bucket. Then pour a half gallon of water or so over the bag (while in the bucket), wait a bit, lift the bag, let it drip and then pour the contents of the bucket into the kettle. I do this about 3-4 more times.
But I know I'm still wasting a lot of precious wort because it doesn't run clear when I'm done with my process, I just run out of time/ space/ patience and move on. What do others do? How can I be more efficient
EDIT: since I'm sure people will ask, there was only 8 oz. of unfermentables in the recipe (Crystal) and I mashed at 154.
