Wondering what everyone's process is when it comes time to lift that big heavy bag of grain out of the water and strain it?
Do you strain it above the pot? If so, what size of strainer and where did you get it? Does some of the wort being strained out go over the rim and down the sides of your pot, to end up burning underneath?
Do you strain it into a large bowl instead, and pour that bag into the kettle?
Is there a limit to the grain bill poundage for your method?
I ask because I have a brewbag, the nylon reinforced one with handles and all that, and its a workout hoisting that thing reliably above the pot until I can insert a strainer to rest it on....and then I get small amounts of wort outside the pot, down the sides, and inevitably into the burner. Im usually working with a grain bill of at least 8-10lbs....is that too much for the biab method?
