      Been a run of the mill, average guy that like plain average common beer. I have done 4 BIAB brews and I have to say they taste... well nothing like I am used to.
      
      No extract twang... but at least the extract beer tasted like normal beer.
      
      Ok... I am talking about the flat beer from the fermemnter x3 and beer from a bottle after 9days. Will the hops taste etc settle down?

      Basiaclly I am wanting to know if there is much differance in adding all the water before the mash or sparging with extra water?
      
      Does it make much differance?
      
      Seems easier to use just the one pot... add all the water and then do no sparge but some of the recipies I have step mash and then sparge...
      
      so what do other do?

      Thanks guys just what i wanted to hear.
      My first brew I did full water volume.. my pot is 50l and the end volume was spot on thanks to the calculator. Spoke with LBS and they advised sparge, add lid etc. End result was I had no idea what volume i would end up with etc.
      
      So thanks.
