Here is the set up I came up with, after being a little dissatisfied with the haze in BIAB beer (although very happy with taste!). I didn't need a single extra piece of equipment.
First up, do the mash as normal, without your grain bag. This also makes using direct heat a whole lot less painful.
Set up your lauter tun, by dropping the siphon into the fermenter (if your fermenter has a tap I you probably don't need to worry about this, although you should set up a hose running from the tap).
Then suspend you grain bag over the top of the fermenter. This needs to be secure, as there'll be a fair amount of wait pulling it down into the fermenter.
Now drop the wort, into the bag. I use a saucepan for this (a clean one, I keep just for this job).
Recirc until clear, and lauter away!
And just because I'm proud of it, never underestimate the thermal powers of aluminium foil!
