lifting a heavy bag full of wet grain

It's not hard when doing a single 23l batch but I'm looking to do a double batch. I guess the bag will weigh approx 20kg with all that wet grain and I can't lift that on my own. So after i build a winch do I need to sit the bag into a basket or are there large strong bags that won't rip with that so...

Thanks PP, I don't understand what brewhouse and mash efficiency really mean or their overall affect or what will happen if i adjust up or down. I've made comment on the 9 items below. 2.

constant failure to reach pre&post boil gravities

My first post after a dozen biab's! I'm convinced biab is a great technique and I'm determined not to give up. my last brew readings where: pre-boil target 1049, achieved 1040 post-boil target 1060, achieved 1044. final gravity always hits the mark...about 1010-12. grain bill of 6kg pale malt and .5...

gday my first post and I'd like to watch someone do a biab. I've some of the kit but bet I'm missing stuff.
never brewed anything before but I'm over reading and need to get one under my belt.
Anyone in perth south of the river would suit me.
