Has anyone tried this as a BIAB? I'm wondering how BIAB would affect the step mash.
Mine was done BIAB. For step mashes I put the grain in to get to the lowest temperature and then for stepping to the next temperature, I didn't count that as part of the time spent at each temperature. I only counted the time once I arrived at the temperature it was supposed to be at.
I'm not sure if this is how it is supposed to be done but it turned out great for me. In my narrow scope of knowledge it makes sense because the temperatures are very specific and for the proteins to be extracted, it needs to spend the allotted time at those temperatures. The one thing I'm not sure about is whether the extra time spent trying to get up to those temperatures is bad...
