Hi,
I'm thinking of diving into all-grain (after having done several mini-mash kits) by getting a "regular" all grain kit and dividing it into 2 batches and doing brew-in-a-bag method. It was suggested to me that because this method might have less efficiency, it might be wise to add some extra grain to make up for it. My question is: How much grain for, say, a 2 1/2 gallon batch with roughly 5lbs of grains? (just thinking of a typical kit)
And would it be base grains added or a little bit of base and specialty grains? The type might be subjective but I was wondering if anyone had an idea of the quantity of extra I might add to try to get the efficiency up. Probably not an exact science.
Thanks!
