Notes

Heat to 155f. (Depends on grain temperature)
Add BIAB to pot.
Add grain. Check for 151F. (Actually a few degrees higher for heat loss)
Steep 1 hr.
Take gravity after removing BIAB and squeezing the bag(or pouring 151f sparge water over grain). Correct to calibration temperature.
Calculate target boil volume for 1.055 SG. Maintain that volume for boil duration with infusion/boil off.
Boil 1 hr. Do hops schedule.
Add whirlfloc at last 15min.
Cold crash. Whirlpool. (Everything sanitized after this step)
Use wife to help siphon to and aerate to fermentor. Avoid picking up the junk at the bottom of the pot.
Shake fermentor 3 times. Open lid between each.
Pitch yeast at <85f even if it is the next morning.
Wait 2 weeks. (Optional: cold crash prior to racking).
Use priming sugar to 2.7 volumes. Check temperature for sugar correction and residual carbonation (bottle bombs).
Wait 2 weeks.
Refrigerate and drink :)
