I have the Cascade Pale Ale Partial Mash kit from Midwest that I'd like to brew tonight. The directions have you mashing 4 lbs of grain in 1 gal of 151-154F water for 45-75 minutes. Then sparging with 1.5 gals of 175F water through the grains into the boil kettle, add the 3.3 lbs LME & bring to boil adding hops as directed. After cooling I'm to add this wort to 3.5 to 4 gallons of cold water, pitch the yeast, etc., etc.
I'm wondering if I can make this beer by using a single-vessel BIAB method:
* I'd mash the 4# of grain in ~6 gallons of 151-154F water for 60 min
* Pull the bag & dunk a couple of times in the wort; allow to drain into BK
* Add the LME while letting the bag drain, bring to a boil & follow the hopping schedule.
Any reason not to do it this way? Also, do I need to adjust the hop additions since the directions are for a partial boil?
