Hello PistolPatch, I've purchased all of the grain, hops and yeast for this recipe. I'm waiting for a break in the weather so I can brew outside, but I expect it will be later this week. The current liquor to grain ratio (listed in field W) is 1.63 qt/lb, so I should be good to go with respect to th...

Hi PP, Thanks again for the detailed answer. I just ordered a potato masher, and I'm looking forward to attempting this monster gravity scotch ale. Yes, of course you're right - I should get 5+ BIAB brews under my belt before attempting such a recipe - but I'm sure I'll end up with something "drinka...
