"I'm gonna mash some grains for an all grain beer and I'm gonna use the BIAB (brew in a bag) method of brewing. I'm also gonna add some pics and give a little story of what and why we do it this way, and remember the wash you make for likker is also beer until it's distilled, so thx for playing along  [/URL]  This is a Shiner Bock AG beer kit and the fixins to make it happen."

Now this is kinda ghetto but I've got her all wrapped up to hold in the heat for the mash period and this really does work so it's cool. You can see the timer has 57 minutes left on the countdown, we're off and mashing.

So after removing the grain bag from my BOP I'm gonna sparge my grains and get all the sugars out that I can and this how I do it. With the BIAB method of brewing most dont sparge but maybe I'm just greedy. Again you have to heat a certain amount of water to top off your boil volume and start the boil. I pour the water right through the grain bag and catch it in my fermenter whilst the pot is heating and when the grain has drained enough I pour that right in the boil pot. then start the boil.

"So after mashing my grains and filling my pot to the proper level for the boil I'm ready to get ta cooking but that's another thread, this is a grain mashing thread. Again...mashing a grain means heating and holding the grain in water for a period of time and at the right temp, not grinding the grains to a mush. Anyway hope ya'll enjoy this even if you don't make beer I have read that some guys want to make all grain wash for a whiskey and you still mash the grains the same way with the same temps and durations. If you added some sugar to this pot but did not boil it, started the fermentation process and then distilled it wouldn't that be a grain whiskey likker??? Of course --ALL GRAIN likker would have no sugar added. Happy hoochin.....  Peace out......  "
