Hello knowledgeable friends, I am a BIAB man, using an extended Burco boiler. I have used the same Maris Otter crushed grain, from the same source, for at least 20 years. The last 4 mashes all behaved as follows. About 30 minutes into the mash, I turn on the heater element at reduced power to increase the temperature by 2 to 3 degress C.
The liquid level rises so much I have to use two 4 litre jugs as recirculating overflows. My bag is a few years old and when I wash and rinse it, water is not retained by the bag. I have thought of a work round using a stainless steel breather tube up the inside wall of the boiler. Any thoughts ? Many thanks.
