      Well I have about 5 Brews with my bag, and I have used the traditionally 60 minute Mash and 60 minute Boils and have just realized the your instructions on your site say to do 90 & 90.
      Whats the reasoning for not doing 60? Are you malts less modified in the land down under?
      I am doing just a single infusion in my 26 gallon pot with usually 20-25 pounds of grain with about 70-75% effeciency....of course I make flour out of my malt.... :lol: Maybe 90 is for chill haze or cloudy beer?

      I normally do a 90 minute mash - using passive lagging it's no skin off my nose to just walk away for 90 instead of 60. However the other day I hosted a BIAB demo brew day for a local brew club who all do either 3 vessel or extract brewing and in order to impress the pants off them I just did a 60 min mash. It was a full malt mash with no adjuncts so I figured it wouldn't harm to cut back to 60.
      
      Well it achieved its ends and we doughed in a 11.45 and had the cube full at 3.45...
