Hi all. About two weeks ago you guys answered a tone of questions for me about the mashing process. I'm going to be trying BIAB shortly and was about to buy a bag on OBK.com. I remember from the last thread, that the short answer was to raise the bag after mash, let it drain, squeeze it like it owes you money for efficiency and no need in trying to batch sparge/rinse the bag'o'grains.
Well on OBK.com, I was reading the description of the bag and saw the following statement. "Most people will prefer to increase the grain bill to compensate for not rinsing the grains after the mash." So, now my question is, is this correct? I mean if so- how am I going to compensate for the lack of not rinsing after the mash? OR is this nonsense. (Here's the full link.) https://www.ontariobeerkegs.com/21_...Bag_Brew_in_a_Bag_p/poly-large-biab-21x30.htm
For instance, take this simple all-grain recipe in the recipe section of this site. It's an american amber ale.
Grain:
9 lbs. American 2-Row Malt
2 lbs. Crystal/Caramel Malt 40L
2 oz. Roasted Barley
60 minute mash @ 154.
Hops:
2 oz. Willamette @ 60 minutes
Do I need to jack up the base malts from 9 pounds to something else? 10, 11, 12 10000lbs? I don't know! If so whats the calculation? Or am I fine following the recipe and disregard what OBK.com was talking about?
