I plan on brewing Yoopers Dead Guy Ale clone this weekend; my first all grain brew.
For the mash, I will mash in a bag made out of voile material in a 10 gallon Rubbermaid cooler. The bag is large enough to fit inside a keggle and made out of the same material used for BIAB. The grain will have plenty of room inside the tun.
Considering I am mashing (and sparging) in a bag, would I still need a manifold or similar at the bottom of the mash tun to further filter out the grains? While the voile is porous, the weave is tight and should be an effective filter.
This is very similar to DeathBrewers all grain method with the exception of mashing in a cooler vs. the stovetop kettle.
Whad do you think?
Do any of my fellow home brewers MIAB and SIAB?
