Did my first BiaB, and first all grain for that matter today. By listening to people on here, and talking the owner of my LHBS, the batch came out spot on. I was really worried because my pre boil gravity was 1.030, but then I remembered hydrometers need to be cool, let it cool and it jumped to 1.050, and post boil was 1.066, and the reciepie kit said 1.060 to 1.070. My only mistake was starting with 7.5 gallons of water instead of 8, as I only got 5 gallons in the fermentor instead of 5.5 like I wanted.
All in all, I think it all went well, and I can't wait to enjoy this new IPA. Wish I knew the grain bill, it's the only thing I dont like about my LHBS, they have great kits, but don't tell the grain bill, probably to keep it a secret. Suppose I should just ask.
So, thanks to all the BiaB brewers here, you all convinced me to take the plunge, and i'm glad I did.
