Not needed but good to do.

I do 15 mins at 72 and 15 at 76. I find that the mash out helps with BIAB.

On hops, I also do a 20m whirlpool before cubing.

Yeah I find I just try get the routine the same. Yeah ill add the aroma hops to the cube.
 
Can any of you guys who brewed this one confirm the recipe is pretty close to the mark? Any tweaks to know of?
 
Here is version 4, which I'm going to brew this weekend. Need more hops!!!

20 min whirlpool and the aroma hops go in the cube.
The dry hops are 50% for the last 3 days before crash chilling and 50% in the keg.

Did this a week ago with a mate... not fermented yet, coming up in the next week or so: This one's got the Hops, Thief

Might have ended up a tad dark, shacked is probably closer to the colour.

Now thinking of going WLP007, WLP009, or SAF-04 for the yeast.
 
They use 002 at the MSB and told me that 001 would over-attenuate. It's a bit tricky because I find 002 stalls at lower temps and produces some slight esters at 20. I'm contemplating a Chico strain and maybe raising the mash temp slightly. S04 would work - never brewed with 007 but I've heard Stone use it in some hoppy beers.
 
Number 8 comes out soon. Hopefully this one has some hops in it again!

Edit- I say that with honest anticipation. #6 was my gateway beer and I love galaxy and mosaic so was disappointed when I got little to no flavour or aroma from #7.

A rep tole me #8 will be Cascade and Crystal hops.
 
Tried 8 this week. Happy to say it is an improvement on 7, I can taste hops! But 6 was better. Never tasted crystal hops, but I like 'em in this. Can't believe they listened to the hipsters though and changed the malt bill because it "wasn't pale enough".
