      So I finally got around to brewing my first BIAB this weekend. This was also my first all grain. I would like to thank kartoffel for making this possible.
      
      Mashed 2KG of Maris Otter in 16.6L (20C) of water.
      Pre-boil volume was 15.53L (100C) @ 1.034 SG
      
      26G Fuggles (4-5.5%AA) @ 90min
      10G Fuggles (4-5.5%AA) @ 10min
      
      Post-boil volume 11.17L (100C) @ 1.050 SG
      8L in Fermenter with 4L foam on top. So 8.01L perhaps :) ... including 1-2L of trub at the bottom :angry:
      
      The hydrometer sample tasted...

      Congrats that it went well. Wirfloc tablets at 15min to end of boil and a good stir and long wait usually help make the wort pretty clear. I try to take my sample from the clear wort after it has settled. I do chill with an IC though as I'm worried about what happens to my flameout hops since most of my beers are hoppy (I guess this is negligible for some people?)
      
      1. maybe hold back some water from the mash and do a maxi-biab or just add water back to the boil depending on your efficiencies....
