May 6, 2019 at 18:30 comment added zatbusch @farmersteve that’s a great idea, Tx, I’m certainly going to look into it!
May 6, 2019 at 18:27 comment added farmersteve @765tgs I completely understand! BIAB doesn't require anymore equipment than you have now and is likely to cost you a lot less if you have access to malt already. Malt extract is 4x the cost of malt in the USA. The only thing you need is a mesh bag and a 7+ gallon (26 liter) pot. The rest is the same. Give it some thought.
May 6, 2019 at 18:22 comment added zatbusch @farmersteve no problem. It’s more a case of experience and cost of equipment where I’m from. Haven’t done all grain yet, only my 5th partial. Equipment in Africa is expensive.
May 6, 2019 at 18:19 comment added zatbusch @brewchez I’m mashing in same pot with grain bag. 1.9kg (4.2lbs) Grain to 5L (1.3Gl) soaking water with additional 6L (1.6gl) sparge water so ratio of 2.5 water to grain to soak in and 5.7 water to grain to mash in.
May 6, 2019 at 18:00 comment added farmersteve I could never understand doing a partial mash. I get steeping grains for some flavor/color. It's really not that hard to do BIAB full volume mash with all grain. If space is a concern, just do extract. Sorry for the rant...
May 6, 2019 at 17:57 comment added brewchez What ratios have you used? And, are you partial mashing separately from where the extract will be added (i.e. a different pot then you combine them?) Are you mashing with a grain bag?
