I am interested in doing this since I have a 5 gal BK. Can you steer me in the right direction as to where I can learn to do this? I'm trying not to hijack this threadI also have the 5 gal paint strainer bags that I use for straining my wort.
I started doing it with midwests' PM Cascade Pale Ale kit with premium yeast. They list all the ingredients by type & weight as well. So I just started using my mixtures of their 5lbs of grains with either 3lbs of plain DME or 3.3lbs of plain LME. Midwests' directions are pretty good. But the one thing I changed was adding the LME at the end as a late extract addition. Since 50% of the fermentables come from the freshly mashed wort,I just use that for all hop additions. It keeps the color light & the flavors clean. That is one well balanced pale ale kit for $25! Feel free to PM me when you do try PM for on the spot help...

By the way,I mashed their 5lbs of grains in 2 gallons of spring water,sparged with 1.5 gallons of same for a 3.5 gallon boil. This is PB/PM BIAB after all. I top up with ice cold spring water in the fermenter to total recipe volume.
