This was my first BIAB attempt last month. I got something wrong and my pre-boil volume was down a bit resulting in a higher gravity and ultimately a bigger beer at 7% ABV but it tasted great.
Apart from working out my settings to get my volumes right I will also up the late and DH additions, the beer could easily carry some more hops up front.
