I figured for my first AG BIAB batch, I'd use the Simple BIAB Calculator to calculate my starting water amount, and squeeze the bag after mashing. But the only note on the calculator in regards to squeezing says, "Mash volume assumes no squeezing of the bag. For hard squeeze, subtract 1" or more."
I'm not entering my keggle's diameter, so does anyone know the basic starting water adjustment (to the starting gallons) I'd have to make if I'm squeezing the bag?
Example:
ingredient amounts
Grain 10 lb.
Hops 3 oz.
boil information
duration (min)
60
boil-off (gal/hr)
1
volumes
finished beer (gal)
5.5
fermentation trub (gal)
.5
miscellaneous
kettle diameter (in)
mash temperature (F)
154
--------------------------------
Mash Water: 8.36 gallons <- how much less?

I squeeze the tar out of my bag. I'm at work now so I don't have my figures but I'll do my best to remember to post what my average loss is.

I squeeze the crap out of my bag. I usually have to rest while squeezing but I usually loose no more than 2 quarts.
