Hello:
I have a 32qt turkey fryer pot that I've been using for BIAB hybrid method of attempting 5 gallon batches, at the end of my mash I have been taking the bag and running hot water through to get to my boil volume but my efficiency was being hurt, now for my last two batches I've used cold water further hurting my efficiency.
I'm wondering if someone could help me figure out two things, 1) Should I try the full mash method and then what batch size would I have to reduce down too? 2) Should I attempt to move the mash to my fermentation bucket then heat sparge water in my pot and then dip the bag in the pot after mash?
So far all my beers have come out though the second to last one had a drop off 1% abv, also my final batch volumes have been lower then I expected.
Thank you.
