Here is my situation...
I have a 15 gal EBIAB rig. 5500W, Bayou Classic kettle, recirculating, I use the stock steamer basket to hold the bag, and assist with lifting and draining.
I do some 11 gallon batches but am forced to quasi-sparge while the bag is draining. This is ok but defeats the full volume mash which is one of the main reasons i BIAB.
I want to do more 11 gallon batches, go up to a 20 gallon kettle, maintain my process with a perforated basket, and not spend too much (AKA no $300+ SS mesh baskets). I have a couple solutions but the wide 20 gallon kettles may present a problem with wort not completely covering grain when doing 5.5 gal batches.
Can you help me design an upgraded EBIAB rig that will do 5.5-11 gal batches?
