I've been an AG brewer since around '97 or so. recirculated, 3 tier, fly sparge, gas fired, standard system. I'm in the process of building a eBIAB system and have never even witnessed a BIAB brew.
I know that the general BIAB process is to do a full volume mash, then pull your bag. Is there any advantage of doing a thicker mash, and then adding the water needed to go full volume and then pull your bag? I suppose kind of like a batch sparge?
Whats the advantage and disadvantage of having more water volume in the pot during the mash?
Thanks!
