Couldn't hold out any longer so after twelve days of being bottled I tasted my first attempt at BIAB all grain -DSMGA. So here's my thoughts.....
Positive
All in all - I'm happy....it's beer, it tastes a bucket load better than anything ice ever made out of a can but I'm pissed about the flatness...makes me think twice about passing it on to mates to try......
Onwards and upwards I guess!

- Golden Ale flavour was evident - especially in the initial taste
- Hops are there and not overly bitter - something I was worried about after not being sure if I got my hop additions correct.
- Clarity was great - especially as all I did was chill
- Tasted good enough to make me want another!
- It was a little under carbed and tasted a bit flat. Plenty of bubbles but flat to taste. This disappointed me the most.
- Whilst the initial flavours were evident, the taste fell away quicker than I would have liked - not lingering
- Had retention was poor. Not unexpected as the mash temp was lower than it should have been - ill have to insulate better on the next effort.
