Sack squeezing and haze

Fantastic looking beers and I echo your experience. This variable has no consequence. Grain, yeast however...

sorry, I missed this. You double batch sparge with squeezes inbetween. Doug has given me charts and helped me to understand this process a little and it intrigues me very much. plus I know you mill your grain fine, so what kind of efficiency does that result in? Do you mind sharing how you do that? I am also curious because I remain curious about partigyle with biab. Curious if I should squeeze or how, much, maybe just boil first runnings?

Actually I don't double sparge, I triple sparge but using cold water so I don't worry about extracting tannins. My final sparge still gets me above 1.020 to add to the kettle. I have the efficiency set on the software I use to 85% brewhouse and usually exceed that. Some day I might get serious and do some accurate measurement to determine what the efficiency really is but when you get into the high efficiency it doesn't take much mis-measurement to be inaccurate by quite a bit.

Tripple batch sparge has two water additions? Thats pretty hardcore. With squeezes inbetween, that would have to be above 85, let me try and find dougs chart. Here it is. Of note a single batch sparge with no squeeze remains higher than a squeeze up until a ratio. I say I will add more grain since its cheap, but while Im at it, I figure I might as well try to as much get sugar out of the grain within reason.

I am happy to report the bag was clearly the problem. The light beer I just racked was much less turbid than any other. The wilser bag made a dramatic difference surely as a filter.

Just as I read recently from founder of biab pat hollindale, a proper bag is a requirement of biab brewing for so many reasons.

Yea! Feel free to squeeze! Say g'day to Pistol Pat [emoji41]

I wish I could, would love to meet him. I want to hunt and peck around for more of his work. Its out there. Holy guacamole, simple? Did you see his brew log, I posted on another thread? Whoa. I think it's the master Brew log from biab Brewer.

You do know about his website @ https://www.biabrewer.info, right? You can talk to him all the time there. It can be interesting [emoji1]
