I ended up using my 15 gal pot, but I think this recipe is too big for BIAB. My OG only turned out to be 1.088. I'm sure it will still end up being a really good beer, but just not the clone it was intended to be.

Really? What was your OG? How many gal of water did you mash in? Did you sparge? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just very interested in your details as I keep notes on all my brews and want to note this one for next time.I did this recipe w/BIAB and it turned out great. It was very close to the top of my 15 gal. pot though

Really, no sparge and you got that high efficiency? So when the mash timer is up, did you just pulled out the bag and began the boil? Did you at least hang the bag over the pot to drain out? Do you squeeze your bag? Again, sorry for all the questions, but you have really grabbed my attention.Just checked my notes and I got 1.100 instead of the 1.102 and a FG of 1.022. I mashed 9.25 gallons and no sparge. As I recall, when I put the grains in, I was VERY close to the top of mykettle. I did do a side by side with this and mine compared nicely with OB's

Wow, I thought squeezing was bad but you are proof that its bull****. Thanks for the feedback!I squeezed the live chit right out of it , like I do all of them After squeezing is when I started the boil. No problem with the questions, after isn't that how we learn?

Everything I have read about squeezing to get the extra wort out has been to do it. And most all of that I read here!
There are several things you can try. Warm the fermentor. Gently swirl the fermentor to rouse the yeast. Pitch fresh yeast.
If its not too late you could add some amylase enzyme but do so carefully it can dry out the beer too much. Some may warn against it but I have used it before with success
