If I was going to do it on a regular basis.. I 'd probably go the route that Malty Cultural has gone with the mash-tun/bag combo and dunk sparge in the kettle.

I kind of did that a while ago, using two kettles and BIAB mashing in my small kettle, then sparging in my bigger kettle. I didn't like it as much. Can't say why, frankly. Fortunately (in my view) the technique is so flexible that it allows you to do whatever you want. If you can find the kit, experiment.

Just updated 65b, Katie & Lloyd's beers. Though K&L brewed double-batches, I have claimed half the volume because I'm fermenting that half and also because they emptied my fridge... again.

65b: Hope I got your details right above. Forget dunk-sparging, certainly for now. It is not until tonight that I have seen clearly what it actually is and how it is done. Spills is one of the most adventurous BIAB brewers and has tried certainly things I would never dream of. I think the answer you should focus on however lies in Thirsty Boy's post above. It is spot on. If you want to improve your efficiency a bit, even though BIAB seems to do very well in this area, I'll whack a post up, probably on Sunday as to how to do this using the barest of BIAB equipment.

Anyone starting out in AG should really be focussed on making sure their thermometer is correct and that they agitate the mash before taking readings. (With BIAB you should also make sure that you have the correct material for your kettle and that it lines the kettle.)

MaltyCultural: What you wrote above,
I have been getting more consistent results this way, but I have also been growing more confident and competent, so perhaps I can attribute my success to this rather than a change in technique. I'm going to try a pure BIAB again and see how I go.
is unfortunately, a uniquely rare and spot-on post in this area. Everyone who makes changes in their brewing should be writing posts like that! The beer you brought here the other day was outstanding. Going back to your early brewing methods is a very sensible approach that most new brewers will never try. (You probably would need to do a side by side etc to get accurate results. I'm lending my gear to K & L whilst in Sydney. Maybe organise a double brew day with them ;))

Spot ya later,
Pat

EDIT: Looks like I'm getting the same as Sathid re the end of the list. Gotta go though sorry so will leave my mess for someone else to clean up!

Now I have never been a fan of Marilyn Monroe but her husband certainly made a pretty strong point about those who throw off what they see as shackles only to become greater persecutors than those they escaped.
When I first, foolishly, entered this debate, I suggested that a 7:1 liquor to grist ratio aint gunna do your enzymes a lot of favours and finally suggested that you almost had it right. Months on and you get some-one being sensible with a 3:1 ratio and whilst he is not burnt at the stake (that particular form of punishment is reserved for those such as I) and he is told to forget it...
I guess I am already a witch so the dunk test is redundant, but perhaps, just a perhaps you immersed your giant christmas stocking of grain in a volume of water (at mash temp) 3 x that of the grain, and you allowed the mash to proceed in decent conditions for 60 - 90 minutes and then, and only then added 4x to bring it up to 7:1, let it stand a bit, test it for witchcraft by dunking it then hang it out to dry, following you proceed with the boil.
So, a toast to Joe DiMaggio
(all by the way, in good fun, frankly I just find it hard to help, myself)

All in good fun DrK.. but you still manage to tell those of us who choose to not brew the way you do, that we aren't sensible and that the conditions we mash in aren't 'decent'. And also to imply (well, pretty much just state) that the people who have contributed opinions in the last few posts to this thread were persecuting someone for disagreeing with them. You can't help yourself can you?

It's a pity that your ability to read and interpret written English isn't quite as impressive as your opinion of your own wisdom.

I think you'll find that the one who wrote about using the 3:1 ration was Malty Cultural... and rather than him being "not burnt at the stake (that particular form of punishment is reserved for those such as I) and he is told to forget it..." you will find that the only direct reference to his technique at all, was made by me, when I suggested that if I was going to go with a sparged BIAB method.. I would emulate him. Oh, and Spills said he had tried it but just didn't like doing it.

65b mentioned nothing whatsoever about L:G ratios, he asked about temperatures and adding the sparge liquor back to the boil...

Pat may well have given his advice to not worry about dunk sparging... and, except for the fact that you had your combat hat on.. and misread the previous posts, you might have worked out that it was simply advice from a brewer who has 36 batches via this method under his belt, given to someone who has just completed his first batch of AG. The crux of the advice was to keep his technique as simple as possible and not complicate the process by adding in a step that provides no benefit apart from a few point of efficiency.

Pretty reasonable advice in my book. And it would hold true for any method of brewing whatsoever. Somewhat short of persecution.

But - I'm glad you're having fun DrK. Perhaps we could all share in the fun, if only you chose not to insist on having it at our expense.

I can recommend regular immolation, it does wonders in repressing the precious.

I'm officially back on the register 'cause I missed seeing my numbers changing :p
I went back to where it all began today and brewed a Amarillo APA using the same recipe as followed for my very first BIAB! Had to wipe a tear from my eye as nostalgia overcame me ...sniff.

Still have an Irish stout to go tomorrow ...maybe Monday?

It's fantastic to see the new BIABers crowding the register recently. Goes to show that, in spite of the naysayers, people are prepared to have a go for themselves and let proof of the pudding be in the eating (or more obvious brew related paraphrases).

Bag it, man!

Double Batch of Double Otis Ale. All hop additions LATE, to 35IBU plus whatever those in the cubes give...
 
Just an update. I just force carbed my first All Grain Brew in a Bag Pale Ale and I love it. Can't wait to turn up at Chrissy Dinner tomorrow and giving every body a glass of brew with no extract twang.

been absent from here for a while i wasnt getting any stuff done around the house, id just sit here and drink beer and read about beer. LOL
anyway done a quick update. Ive got a few apa in no chill cubes but im still trying to source a cheap fridge to set my dei temp controller upto.
Half a keg out of 4 is full and it aint that good as i went away for a few days and came home and it ferented at 26 degrees so that half keg is lasting quite a while. I was mixing it with a bock,but thats run dry now :(

cheers,kingy

Another nano-batch. Depressingly, beetroot loses its colour when you mash it with malted barley and then boil the Henry out of it.
 
Roast up a couple of small ones and "dry root" it.... that'll make it turn purple just from embarrassment :p

BTW - running BIAB total... 6635litres of recorded brews with only 393 brewed by people who didn't like the beer they made or didn't like the technique and moved away from BIAB.

Thats 94% in favour with only 6% not being satisfactory to the brewers.

I'd call that a reasonable strike rate for the method
