      Hi all :)
      Anybody using a BIAB bag made of SS mesh? Is this a bad idea?
      If not, what mesh size is best to use?

      I've got a bag from Jeff at bagbrewer too, it's a few years old but still cranking along. As far as cleaning it, I just hang it over the chainlink fence and take a garden hose to it....easy peasy!

      Hi everybody
      I’m a BIAB n00b from Norway and have a couple of questions before I do my first BIAB. I have a 50L converted keg with a 4,5KW electric element for heating, a platechiller and 2 x 30L plastic fermentors. I was thinking of making an American Pale Ale using this recipe.
      
      Ingredients
      Amt Name Type # %/IBU
      25,00 g Amarillo Gold - Boil 60,0 min Hop 4 23,1 IBUs
      30,00 g Amarillo Gold - Boil 15,0 min Hop 5 13,7 IBUs
      30,00 g Amarillo Gold - Boil 5,0 min Hop 6 5,5 IBUs
      2,0 pkg California Ale...

      I've done a few maxi-biabs in a 50L pot
      
      40L batches with some post boil in fermenter top up works well
      
      But the thing is the thicker your mash the lower your efficiency.
      
      If you use the kettle top up value in the water section beersmith will recalculate the mash volume. Keep that under your max mash volume and you'll be good
      
      With 12KG of grain you'll get about 70% mash efficiency, with 10KG 75-78% and 5KG 82%
