Well I finally got round to doing my first BIAB, bout bloody time! Have had the grain for at least 3 weeks just sitting there and smelling good.
Couldn't work b/c of the rain, and swmbo had to go out with the our girls. I might brew my beer then I say, so I did.
Here's the recipe

Name Description Step Temp Step Time
Full-volume InfusioAdd 0.00 L of water at 65.0 C 65.0 C 60 min
Mash Out Heat to 75.0 C over 20 min 75.0 C 20 min
So I started very slowly adding my water to the keg, a litre and a half at a time, blimey :huh: . Then got the temp up. When the temp was right I added my grain and gave it a good stir and checked temp again, it was down about 3 deg. Cranked the 3 ring up again and got back to temp, phew. Found another use for the dip tube, mash stirrer. Had a prob with the bag coming over the lip of keg a couple of times, obviuosly didn't tie it tight enough!Held temp pretty well, only lost about a degree over the 60 mins. Was meant to get up to 75 C for mash out, but only got to 70, oh well.
Then came time to remove bag. Must remember next time to not try and remove the bag so quickly, as i ended up with an amount of my liquid gold on the garage floor :angry: . Then had a bit of trouble tying the bag to the metal beam to hold it up, the bag was a wee bit heavy :blink: .
Then came the boil. i got a bit excited AGAIN, and started the hop addition BEFORE it had got to the boil, duh, take it out freddie. Got it up to boil and back in went the hops. After that it was all pretty plain sailing, thankfully.
So thanks to everyone who has helped me on my way, PP of course (the Godfather), Phrak for helping me with my gear, Doc for answering lots of my dumb questions, and the HBG guys for letting me taste their fantastic beers, hopefully i will soon be like them, and Gerard for cracking my grain even though he doesn't do it anymore.
Heres to BIAB and AG :super:
