I honestly don't know exactly why quickly pulling the bag out works better (for me) it is the only thing I have done differently that could account for the eff. increase. I don't worry about tannins when squeezing the bag either. The temp just isn't hot enough, or in contact long enough to...

yah...i only do it in the cooler because i have only 2 4g pots..if i had an 8-10g pot i would just use the pot. I can only fill each 4g pot to a little over 3g so i have time to stop the hot break from making a mess of things!

My bad..I described it incorrectly...my sparge water temp is 180...it cools down significantly after pouring into MLT...and I let the water sit for 5 min then i dunk...the point of the post was to say to mix the grains really furiously and then super quickly yank the bag out.

I just want to avoid making a cidery cider (if that makes any sense) i want to try and make it malty. Thnx for the reply!

No wort left behind!...just don't do what i did the first time and drop the bag onto the floor...the floor was sticky after 3 moppings

I call it Mash in a bag so it doesn't get confused with the method of doing all of this in the pot...it is exactly the same thing though.

I am a college student who is tight on funds so I don't have an MLT with a spigot/drain of any type. It is just a rectangular 28qt igloo cooler. I mash in a brewing bag and after mash/batch sparge... simply remove the bag. At first I was getting 55-65% eff. but I found a trick to share with you...
