So I would like to try my first BIAB. For the record I search for this conversion on the site and did not see it, and I also search for posting the spread sheet and I did not see that either.

I have a recipe that I would like to try based on it's simplicity and comments made about the final product. I have filled in the calculator the best that I can. I added a English conversion column on the first page for a reference for me. I don't see how to post/add the calc spread sheet that I have filled out for review?

6.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 64.86 %

The original recipe I got was from:
http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/o-flann ... ard-41072/

I will use a converted Keg w/o any holes, temp probes and siphon out of for my vessel.

I was planning on Hopping in a smaller separate bag too (pellets), unless there was reason not too. Maybe because there will be so much trub, don't worry about it might be the BIAB method. I was also going to have LBS grind the grains twice, based on some of the comments I have read, unless, again you think I should not.

Main questions that come to mind after filling out the calculator are:

Should I go out to a 90 min wort boil?
"IF" yes, then hold off my hops for 30 minutes and then add, correct?

Should I mash out?
"IF" yes, would I still go the full 90 minutes "OR" maybe if Mashing out, stick with 60 min, and use a 10 minute hold at a mash out temp?
What mash out temp would you suggest?

Maybe I don't understand the calculator, but I didn't see anywhere about suggested strike temps for the gain bill, is there a section for that? BTW, does BS2 have BIAB as a method and this might be in there?

Hummm that is a lot different/updated than the calculator that I down loaded today off the site. I guess the US/English column I added was a waste of time, as it is already done now.

I understood the strike temp after the grains were added, my question was, where to get the water temp up to to compensate for the temp drop once the grains were added. I was shooting for 156 max, most likely 155 and and let it drop but not lower than 153 before adding heat if necessary. I think with a good insulation blanket and the Keggle, I would be OK.
