So I have a 5G kettle that I used for 5G extract kit. My last batch was half BIAB with some extract and I made a 5G batch. I'd like to go full BIAB for 5G batches without upgrading my kettle.
I read maxBIAB but that seemed confusing.
So question:
Using a brew calculator like brewtoad. Can I calculate my ingredients for a 5G batch, mash my grain for say 90 mins, dunk sparge it, toss the sparge into the kettle, boil and add all my ingredients calculated for a 5G batch and then top off with water to 5G?
Theoretically if I'm using the amount of ingredients for a 5G batch and sparge/mash well, I should have a more concentrated wort (because of a smaller post boil volume) and then by topping it off to 5G it should make it to about the target OG?
Thoughts?
