So.. today will be my first BIAB brew, I think I have all he goodies ready: grains, kettle, bag and... a cooler. Considering the size of my kettle (4 gal) I opted to mash in a cooler. This is my plan:
- Heat water on the kettle
- Once reaching the temp (160F approx) pour the water into the cooler
- Add grains and stir, once reach the mash temp 152F close the lid and monitor the temp and grains for 60 min.
- Pull the bag, dripping and squeeze a little bit.
- No mash out due the kettle size limitation (It will be ok for my efficiency?)
Here's my question, once finish dripping, how I should transfer the wort from the cooler into the kettle? I have read the splashing is a NO-NO, so this leave me with the auto siphon option? That would be the best option? Pour it gently?
Thanks in advance! :fro:
