im about to do a recipe that i got off BribieG (in style of MB), it requires a mini mash of 1kg of grain in 4 to 5 litres of water. the question concerns the amount of water, i have a 20 litre urn i thought i would use, putting grain in a bag and putting 10 litres (maybe more) in the urn ( i feel 4 or 5 lts is to little for BIAB in the urn) is the extra water going to effect anything apart from making the wort hotter and having to wait longer for it to cool. after mashing grain for 60 min i would remove bag and bring to boil and add hop additions. would the extra water help in the efficiency of the grain? can i sparge the grain in the bag by getting a jug of the wort and pouring it through the raised bag?
cheers for any thoughts
