Notes

A BIAB recipe, the grain is steeped in a small kettle with 3.5 gal of water. The idea is to have optimum mash thickness, whether or not this is a relevant parameter is up for debate. We then dip the bag in the larger kettle which contains the sparge water. 5-10 mins in the sparge and we obtain an efficiency of about 70%.

On our first brew of this recipe, we did a rinse sparge and did not extract enough sugars. As a result, we produced a very light version with ABV just under 4%. The recipe has been updated to reflect the 70% efficiency and target ABV of 4.5%.
