Im hoping to do my first BIAB tomorrow but I have a question about an accessory that came with by 15g Ballington kettle. The kettle came with a perforated rack that sits about 2.5 off the bottom. The kettle does not come with a basket. Im tempted to use the rack, but that would limit how deep my bag could go. Ive estimated that my total volume (grains and water) to be around 9 gallons, which means if I use the rack my bag will not be exposed to 27 % of the total column of fluid. The only benefit of the rack that I can see is that the bag would not be sitting on the thermowell at the bottom of my kettle. Should I skip the rack?
