First post
Hi everyone, I'm new here. I would like to try BIAB, and I only do mini-batches (1 gal ~ 4 liters) at the moment. I have a stainless steel brewpot that is roughly 30cms in diameter. I tested it with plain water and I get evaporation loss of roughly 0.60 gal/hour.
The recipe I'd like to try is posted at HBT:

To scale this down to a 1-gal batch, I used The Calculator and came up with the attached figures (xlsx).

55 g of rice hulls (is this necessary for such a small batch? - and how does it affect the water volume for BIAB?)
Rice hulls are used to prevent stuck sparges in traditional brewing. They are not really used in BIAB as far as I know. If you end up using them, I'd suggest they go in the bag first and then put your grain on top of the hulls.
