Apologies if this has been discussed, but I couldn't find it anywhere in these forums.
I'm planning my first AG BIAB. Looking around at the BIAB literature, the general consensus seems to be 90 minutes mashes and 90 minute boils. I can understand the need fo a 90 minute boil for most lager types, but I would have thought that Ale recipes could have got by with 60 minute mash and 60 minute boil.
Or is it something about BIAB that makes longer mashes and boil times necessary?
Cheers,
Tony
