Ok. I have been BIABing for 4 years now. I want to do some high gravity 5 gallon batches with what I have. The last time I made a 10% beer I was at the lip of my 10 gallon pot. I haven't found what other people are doing but here is my idea. I don't have all the math yet just a working theory.
The idea is based around the idea that BIAB is a diluted (thin) mash. If I have less strike water I can mash thicker with more grain and keep from rolling over the lip of the kettle. After I hang the bag to drain I could pour sparge water over the bag until I have my pre-boil volume. Basically like sparing in a mash tun.
Am I barking up the right tree? Is this solid or are there holes in my plan?
