Not hitting OG with BIAB system

I just want to note that this works well for small batches, just as BIAB is good for small batches. Lifting the grain bag from a 2.5 gallon batch and rinsing is pretty easy. Lifting from a 5 gallon batch gets to be a bit harder. I probably wouldn't use this technique if I were making 5 gallon batches or larger just due to the increased weight of the wet grain bag.

Oh yeah, that damn thing gets heavier than hell on a 5 gallon batch.

I actually have a ratcheting hoist on the ceiling to pull out my 5 gal batches. Much safer for my back and don't have to worry about losing grib

I use the redneck method: Pull bag out, bitch about how heavy it is, and get a grill grate between the bag and the kettle. I now have some good gloves so I don't burn the crap out of myself.
