Typical Efficiency Of Biab Method

[Thirsty Boy]

Wow now I am totally confused. But the basic formula is:

- squeezing the bag:
.50L lost/Kg of grain
-not squeezing
.75L lost/Kg of grain

That's all I wanted to know. Somehow I thought the grain would absorb more water. Thanks.

Yes

sorry about all the efficiency stuff - but you (or someone) asked what the efficiency difference between squeezing and not squeezing might be - and that set us off.

Your numbers will become stable and predictable... with experience, if you can avoid the temptation to do things differently every time. Trust me, they do.

Yes you should - how much??



So I would factor in a minimum of 4% less efficiency and maybe a couple for luck

With 8.5kg of grain - I guess you will be lucky to top 70%

Thirsty you were spot on. With 5.5kg of grain i get 76%. Today i used 7.7kg and got 71%.
