I’ve read a few posts lately about steeping grains and the volume of water used to steep…and the subsequent impact on Ph.
BIAB is not the same, obviously, but I am wondering if some of the same principles might be at work if I try to do a split boil BIAB.
I have done several AG batches, and plenty of extract, but never BIAB. Now that I have my stuff for BIAB at home and have my starter going, I am realizing that I don’t have a kettle big enough to hold the 5.5 gallons prescribed by the instructinos + the several lbs. of grain. I dont want to haul out the big burner and keggle to do BIAB.
Any reason I can’t just do 2.75 gallons and half the grain in each of two boil kettles? Then halve the boil additions of course?
Other than needing another mesh bag, I can’t see why this would be an issue…what am i missing!!!
