Sounds good. I will try again sometime in mid January. Until then, this batch is bubbling away in the fermentor.

My pot is 10.5 gallons and the grain was 11.4 pounds. With 9.25 gallons of water the pot was filled to the brim. I might of had 1/4"-1/2" to spare. My first attempt in the 3v system never made it to the boiling pot. I had a stuck sparge that I couldn't fix. I only took 1 gravity reading during the p...

OK. So I brewed this up today. Expected OG of 1.057 and got 1.041.

I suspect I need to work on my mash. It was pretty cold out today and my mash lost 8 degrees F over 90 minutes. I will heat earlier next time.

Is this beer going to be terrible?

Thanks for the help, PP. I will spend the next couple of days going through it. From my initial review it looks pretty straightforward. I looked at my recipe and you are correct, EOVB-A is not listed anywhere. Also, the efficiency number of 72% is something I pulled out of the air. I did not see any...

I have already bought the kit. It will be my second attempt at the kit. The first one I tried 3V and failed. I was going to try it again 3V then I thought about BIAB. What I will probably do is just brew it up. Like you said, since this is a first BIAB I do not have any baseline info. (It was also m...

Few questions before first attempt at BIAB

I've been reading through the site and it appears that a 90 minute mash and 90 minute boil are recommended. Why? I assume the longer mash is to increase efficiency, but why extend the boil? Pros and cons? Second, is an all grain recipe purchased as a kit OK to be used as BIAB? Same ingedients, hop s...

Hello. First post. I'm in the suburbs of Atlanta, Ga, USA. I stumbled across this site after discussing with a buddy my failure at an attempt to complete my first all grain brew in a 3 vessel set up. Stuck sparge, big mess, total loss. :angry: Anyway, a buddy of mine mentioned BIAB and an internet s...
