      Don't open this up on your office desktop or in front of the kids.
      
      I have two of the glass carboys but probably not for long.

   2. Grain conditioning and BIAB

      For those who have the ability to crush their own grain a suggestion I'd like to make is conditioning your grain with water before crushing. I have used this for normal batch sparging and full volume mashing and the mash seems to float very well.
      Some claim better efficiency but I got basically the same but the run off was superb due to the way the grain was much more intact. Theoretically with BIAB that could be an advantage.
      Method:
      Get a spray bottle with water and spray the grains in your...

   3. Water to grain ratio?

      As I don't brew BIAB I have a question concerning water/grain ratio. I'm going to brew a Mild but the grain ratio is 9.27lt/kg.
      Have you noticed any detriment to the beer at those ratios? Mash pH, boil pH and/or final beer quality? I will modify my water to the general Mild profile.
      If you are brewing a Mild or similar how do you handle it as a BIAB recipe, final fermenter size about 22 litres. I certainly don't doubt it can be done just open to few guidelines.

      I thought I had one but will need to look further. I thought Kai had put together some material.
