So, my Anvil Foundry has crapped the bed. All it needs is a screen replacement ($35) but I see this as the perfect opportunity to try BIAB. If it goes smoothly, I might just sell the foundry.
I bought the Anvil 5.5 Kettle and plan to continue doing 2.5-3 gallon batches. This first attempt with be 3 gallons - why not start off by pushing the limit ?
This will be a 30 minute boil with 7.5 lbs of grain. I’m thinking about mashing with three gallons and sparging with a gallon. That’s usually about the ratio for this kind of batch size in my foundry. I’ve noticed most people just skip the sparge for BIAB, but I always notice much lower efficiency when I do that.
Any tips I should know for a first BIAB batch?
