      Hi gang, I signed up a while ago and got some help here to set me off on the BIAB journey
      Got a few cracking APA sessions under my belt now and feels like I've got my process and eqpt nailed down in terms of boil off rates and losses etc.....things are settling out nicely
      
      Raised the bar a few weeks ago and pinched an ESB recipe from somewhere online, and decided to give it a shot as I like that type of brew.........used MO malt, some crystal, a fairly high mash/conversion temp of around 68C...

      I have 5000 grms of Maris Otter 5 EBC, 1000 grms of Munich malt 25 EBC, 100 grms of...

      Just closing the loop on this, it turned out well and I'm happy
      
      Taking Ricks feedback into account I added 3o gms of Cascade over the last 3 days in the FV and that added back some of what was lost out of the airlock
      
      It drinks really well and isn't weak at all, not the smack in the face hoppiness of a big APA but really nice hoppy bitter
      FG came out at 1008 from an OG of 1040. Took 2.5 weeks to get there at a steady 19 deg C
      
      A few lessons learned, and took delivery of more grain and hops etc...
