    A ******* Mistake

    Likely had one big dough ball since you could not stir. We all do dumb stuff at times.

    BIAB Brewing (with pics)

    Okay so my first biab happened over the weekend. I know that what I am about to write will make many of you shake your heads but I take full responsibility for my irresponsibility.
