I have some questions and I know they could be answered just by reading but honestly I've been searching and reading for days so thought I'd just ask.
Basically the way that I understand this is that you put all the grain in the bag. Put the bag in a 10 gallon kettle. Then heat it up to normal steeping temp of 152 or so. Hold the temp for 1 hour and stir the grains every 20 minutes.
Then remove the bag. Set it in a bucket with a false bottom and let it fill the bucket.
Get wort to a boil and add hops just like usual.
Am I missing something here? This sounds so easy and it may only take 1/2 hour longer than a regular extract batch.
In other words I would just top off the wort if I ended up with less than 5 gallons like usual.
