I plan on brewing this on Friday or Saturday (first all grain beer!) and using the BIAB method. I've previously brewed 2 extract kits.
I have an 11 gallon kettle and was considering doing a no-sparge method. After reading about BIAB, would I be correct in assuming I would need to increase the grain bill if I chose not to sparge? If so, I suppose I will sparge since I already bought all the ingredients (I have an extra 5.5 gallon kettle for sparging).
If I understand the recipe from the first page, I will mash in my grains for 75 minutes. The strike temperature is 161.4. After adding the grains it should reduce to around 150 degrees and steep for 75 minutes, correct? Do I have to raise the temperate to do a mash out? If so, what temperature?
How long do you sparge for? I understand I will bring 3.6 gallons of water up to 168 degrees and then drop my bag of grain in the water some amount of time. Then I take this and add it to the main kettle and begin my boil.
Any help? Sorry for so many questions!
