I've only done BIAB for starter wort, but I've always overshot gravity. Take a look at your process.
Drink one now if you've never had it. Already a year in the bottle.

You can taste the chocolate and peppers pretty clearly but then there is a hint of cinnamon spice on the back end. Glad I got the opportunity to try this, thanks again Mike!
I BIAB and I always get close if not pass my og. Just run through it and see if you missed something.
Hey fuzzy. Here is a growler for you lol
Austin beer garden -big mama red. Red ipa
<(-_-)>I don't know issed: I am
Don't be scared I fooked up is all.I thought BIAB would be easier. Now I'm scared to try it.
Delicious!
Drinking HB Amber and realizing that turning to a terrible friend is worse than not having a friend to turn to.
Ya I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is I'm just upset it will still be beerI BIAB and I always get close if not pass my og. Just run through it and see if you missed something.

I would agree...on both points. I do biab and usually am spot on or damn close. Ive learned keeping the grains always moving is key. That was also a lot of grain, maybe needed a bigger pot. As far as the Oerbier if I find any newer ones I will definately drink at least one immediately, still fight to save my 2009's for New Years.
nukebrewer said:Great beer and it's made all the better by the fact that I haven't had it in probably about six months. I love FSW for putting a bottling date on their beer. I almost picked up a Double Jack that was on the shelf, but it was bottled in January of this year. No thanks! I wish package store owners understood a little about how different beers age. http://www.flickr.com/photos/93961624@N06/10718150025/ 20131106_211800 by aaron.j.lott, on Flickr

I think I earned this after my worst brew day ever.
Still not in my store, Asked today said any day
First pull on a new keg of IIPA.
I ain't reading through 11 pages...
having my last Bark Bite IPA. won't be buying this one again.
HB Pumpkin Spice. Definitely even better after it has sat for over a month. Patience is key though I have given away more than I have drank so they got the "young" bottles.
About to get my $5 footlong on.
Holy fooooooking sheet I'm done making beer until I have the fooooooking right god damn equipment og was supposed to be 1.085 and it was 1.040 ****ing bull**** might as well dump it down the fooooooking drain I ****ing hate BIAB :mad :mad fooooooking super
Finally showed up at my Wegmans, so you should see it soon.
Wuss!
Patience is a necessity! And footlo...nevermind.
Sorry man - definitely sounds like you need a bigger pot. When I was doing BIAB I had an 8 gallon pot and still has to do two mashes when I did my RIS. What was your OG after you added the DME?
Hell yeah! Deliciousness!!

When I was at 2 Roads earlier I was gonna take home a sixer of road 2 ruin and I checked the bottle date on random bottles of the bail able 5 six-packs. All said Sept. 13. I even told the bartender "are you kidding me?" They didn't have anything fresher than that in bottles. What a joke.
Hope you didnt throw the grain away dude! You can still get a ton more sugar from that grain. Why dont you try saving your first runnings and do the whole process again. .040. + .040 is damn close to that gravity your looking for. Hold
Your first runnings in a bottling bucket then add yiur 2nd and boil. Would you be able to fit all the liquid in your pot after you remove the bag?

Someone should be shot. *sigh* Another poor representation of DIPA. Feels like I'm drinking a broken record. If only there were a way to tell how old this was then I might not think it was the brewery's fault. Oh wait, there is. There's these things called printers, the same kind that make the labels that you can use to print the bottling date on the label. Fvcking use it, fvckers! http://www.flickr.com/photos/93961624@N06/10718944983/ 20131106_220000 by aaron.j.lott, on Flickr

Amen! I had that this summer and it wasn't great so I don't think it is just an age issue.
