    Big differences in grain absorption. Need help troubleshooting a bad brewday

    I'm really not to concerned about the consistency of the milled grains from my LHBS. They make sure to ask if your doing BIAB and have specific settings for it and run it twice through the mill. Additionally, I order multiple recipes at once so the mill settings should be consistent at least...

    Two Brew Days, One Fermenter

    About to do my first BIAB brew day. I bought a 5 gallon kit and am planning on splitting it into two 2.5 gallon brew days as my kettle only has 5 gallon capacity. Originally, I was planning on just putting them in two separate fermenters and just combining them in the bottling bucket when...
