Hi all,
I have still not done any grain brews.. but I am very interested in trying BIAB. I have quite a few questions before I get started.
My limited equipment:
I only want to make about 10-12Ltr of beer, been looking at the Nelson Sauvin Summer Ale recipe, as I actually have some NS hop flowers in the freezer. I also have some BSAAZ flowers in the freezer.
as far as I have read, when you do BIAB, you add the total water volume at the beginning, but that would be more than my pots capacity. I have calculated for a half recipe that the total water would be 19.95Ltr. S any advice on how to go about this.
I have forgotten the rest of my questions..
If these questions have all been answered to death already (my apologies)
Oh, yes the idea of Swiss voile or whatever VS BIAB bag ready made, do I have to do anything to the voile if I buy it, like should I boil it first or put it in the dish washer, I don't want any chemicals leeching out.
Any advice anyone has would be great, and very welcome
Thank you in advance..
