Brand New Brewer

The only thing different about BIAB is you need add more grains to equal out but of course beersmith and other programs account for that.

I still can't figure out where this comes from. I've brewed both kits and recipes using BIAB. Have never added any extra grain, have never crushed extra fine, and have came within a point or two of OG every time.

To be honest I'm not sure of the equation that calculates that, although I'm sure you could find one. It'll affect you more if your brewing very large batches. I know for instance with beersmith it just calculates it for me if I switch the mash style to BIAB medium, but if I were to switch it to partial mash or all grain the SG numbers change using the same ingredients. I've just gone by that and it's done me well for hitting OG's and FG
