Hello, im' homebrewer from Italy and often read your forum and find good advices.
I generally make beer with the biab method, i've done about 10 batches with quite good result. However I often get a lot of trub in the fermenter and the beer is a little cloudy.
Now...I wanted to try a different technique to try to improve it, plus my bag broke a little, and i'm afraid it might cause problem. I want to still using only one pot (electric) and a bucket as equipment.
I thought about doing this, I wanted to understand if, in your more expert opinion, it is a correct method:
- do mashing with grain in the bag in my pot
- pour the wort from the bottom into a bucket (with a false bottom? With a bazooka filter? Throwing the first 2-3 turbid liters back into the pot?)
- make (batch?) sparge by pouring hot water on the grains (in the pot, with the grains contained in the bag)
- let it rest for a few minutes and then pour the liquid from the bottom into the bucket.
- Remove the bag (with the grains) and empty the pot.
- Pour all the liquid in the bucket to the pot and boil.
In this way the bag would only help me to 'remove' the grain from the pot, losing other functions.
Will this work? any advices? should I use the false bottom and the bazooka?
Thank you very mutch in advance!!
