I read through the first 6 pages but am running out of time so I'm sorry if this has already been addressed.

You mentioned something about high quanitities of adjuncts and unsuccessful. I suppose mashing nothing but flaked oats for an 3 gallon experimental batch might be out of the question? I was going to add DME later in the recipe but other than that, these oats were going to be the only surgars.

Oats won't self convert, must have barley present for enzymes.

You can do it with oat malt, but not with flaked oats. Our Northern Brewer sponsor (see banner at top of page) carries them.

I'm sorry. I have a lot going on right now.

What I was attempting to say is this. How would the following quantities and ingredients work in a mash using a set up as such.

1lbs 2-row
1lbs Munich
1lbs Flaked oats
.25lbs Flaked Wheat

Was going to add 1.5lbs of DME to recipe.

These quantities are of older ingredients I was going to pitch out but figured I might as well try to see if I could get anything out of it. Was going for a 3 gallon batch here.

BTW, I didn't want to have to purchase more ingredients to what I already have either. If these ingredients and their quantities won't work, I'll think of something else and try this approach out some other time.

That just might work. Two row will convert it's own weight in adjuncts while the munich will do a little less. Just to make sure you may want to let it go a little longer than normal in the mash. Let us know how it goes.

G'day Mate.

The thing is, BIAB isn't a technique that hits the friendliest ground for enzymes. Its works, it works well and there is no problem with conversion or fermentability when doing BIAB....

BUT - if you are playing at the edges of what would work in a traditional mash, and your recipe looks like its getting there, then you are playing to the method's potential weaknesses.

It might still work, it probably will... but where with a "normal" mashing technique I would look at your recipe and say that "you'll probably get away with it" - with BIAB I might be a little less confident.

Like I said - it'll probably work just fine, but you are potentially pushing the limits

So I did my first BIAB Saturday. I really wanted to test out how fine I could mill my malt so I made a 60/40 ratio of rye malt to pale malt.

I hit my mash temp dead on but my boil off rate was lower than planned due to the very high humidity so I did a 90 minute boil.

Overall the wort was very murky. Probably the fine grind and the huge amount of rye malt.

I have a 3 tier system, but decided to try this for those mobile brew days. Alot less stuff to carry and no tier needed.
