Ok, so I did my first All Grain BIAB this past weekend and I shot for the stars and tried knocking out 10 gallons of beer in a 15 gallon kettle.
My bag and hoist handled it fine, the burner was an issue but I got it to a boil.
But my efficiency is something I am wondering about. I bought a Monster Mill 2.0 and milled all my grains once. I only did them once because it looked to produced some flour like dust and I didn't want to over do it.
I mashed at 154 for 90 minutes. I hit my temp spot on using the simple BIAB Calculator and I have a insulation jacket I made for my kettle.
My Pre-boil gravity was 1.034 and my post boil gravity was 1.050. That seemed like an awful low preboil gravity but in the end, I actually overshot my target final gravity of 1.046.
Can anyone shed some light on what my efficiency should be?
Below is my grain bill. I doubled the amounts to make a 10 gallon batch.
7 lbs Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.0 SRM) Grain 1 70.0 %
1 lbs Munich I (Weyermann) (6.0 SRM) Grain 2 10.0 %
8.0 oz Aromatic Malt (Dingemans) (19.0 SRM) Grain 3 5.0 %
8.0 oz Barley, Flaked (Briess) (1.7 SRM) Grain 4 5.0 %
8.0 oz Caramel Malt - 20L (Briess) (20.0 SRM) Grain 5 5.0 %
8.0 oz Caramel Malt - 60L (Briess) (60.0 SRM) Grain 6 5.0 %
