I have done 3 BIAB so far: The first one I did had hard squeeze. When racking, I noticed a lot of astringency, which I assumed was because of the tannins extracted from the squeeze. With some gelatin, I was able to get rid of most of the astringency.(I did hit my gravities) The second brew I did bef...

Are you referring to the ce calc modifying your grain weight when you change the sparge volume? If so, that's what it's supposed to do :) It works out how much grain you need to get the amount of wort you want in your fermenter Yes, but when I adjusted it and went back to a different amount I got a...

After a 60 min rest, I pulled the bag (gravity = 1....

Hmm. I like the Maxi-BIAB for my high gravity brew. I have a couple Q's (if someone doesn't mind answering them again cause they probably are somewhere): Should I plan on doing the mash and 2 sparges? or should I check my gravity after the first? Should the sparges lower or raise the gravity? or is ...
