Fellas..
So I'm hanging in my garage enjoying a beautiful brew day on the east coast of the United States today.. I've got 7-8 BIAB brews under my belt now, and have gotten my process/numbers ironed out really well using beersmith.
Today, I'm brewing my first pumpkin ale.. Recipe from BYO magazine last month. Everything I"ve made so far has had a single mash step.. This sucker has 4 different temp changes during a 85 minute total mash?? Eeeks.. I'm 1/2 way through now with the mash, but I'm wondering if I'm wasting my time with all these steps considering I'm doing BIAB.. The recipe was definitely not written with BIAB'ers in mind, and I've had to adapt some steps to work within my process..
Anyway, just wondering what you all do when you run into this issue??
Thanks as always, and BREW ON!
