I need some feedback on my BIAB process. I did my first and only one 10 days ago using this method and I plan to do another this weekend. It was an American IPA.
I put 10lbs of 2 row + 1 lbs of specialty grains in a 9 gallon pot. I added enough water to get it up to about the 7.5 gallon mark on my pot. Of course the actual volume of water was less than that because of the grains.
I brought the temperature up to 158 and removed it from the heat for 1.5 hours. The temp dropped to 151 during that time. My og: was 1068 after the boil.
I know most people ads their grains after they heat their water, but I had mine in there from the start.What differences will there be in my beer considering my method? Any problems or limitations with how I've done it? Should I do my stout this way or change my process?
Obviously, I'll have a better idea of my outcomes when I can taste the final product. Id like some feedback before I do another one.
Thanks!
