I’m going to brew an IPA in the next couple days using Brew in a Bag method. I’ll do my best to incorporate the changes suggested by everyone here and report back once I have a FG. If anyone has any comments on the recipe I’ll post it here. 5 Gallon batch. Should be around 1.071 OG and 1.016 FG according to BeerSmith. With such a high original gravity should I maybe pitch 2 packs of liquid yeast? I’ve never done that before but have read that it may be necessary for high gravity beers. I’m planning to use Imperial Flagship yeast.
