Hi all,
After being too scared to start my first ever BIAB (and not much help from LHBS's in Hobart, grrr), I'm just going all out and attempting my first BIAB.
The recipe is as follows, making an Irish Red Ale, cut and pasted from the BIAB Spreadsheet made by IanH.

I'm a bit scared, but have milled my grain and am ready to go (Crown urn, no chill).
Doing it later this afternoon. Only thing I don't have is the brewbite or whirlfloc. Is it OK to go without this?
How does the recipe look? I'm hoping for a reasonably malty beer, with not too much hop bitterness.
I'm sick of worrying about every little detail and just need to brew now, with the opinion of if I stuff it up, I'll learn from it, adjust and go again!
