Show me how you drain...

[Black Island Brewer]

This was from Big Brew 2015. It just hangs on an angle iron until it drains completely as the wort comes to a boil. At first I thought it was done and that I missed my pre-boil volume (which hasn't happened before, thanks to BeerSmith), but after I set it aside into a bucket, after 20 minutes I had my missing wort. It was my first time double milling with a Corona-type bucket mill, and I think the finer husks had completely choked up the bag. If I do it again I may turn into a bag squeezer...

When your finished squeezing, let the bag drain for another 20 minutes to get the rest of your wort

Friends don't let friends squeeze, let her drain peacefully

LOL! I'm a non-squeezer, because I like leaving the particulates in the bag. Usually it takes about 30 minutes, so the boil is just about to start when I remove the bag. This time it wasn't even close. I brew for my class next Saturday, so I'll try double milling again and tying the bag off a bit higher so the boil can start even if the bag is still draining. 82% efficiency this time, though!

Is it bad I immediately recognized you as a Floridian just from your pictures?

What gave it away? The pool open in March or the flora and fauna?
