Hey Gang,
Question about how the "grain absorption" setting feature works for BIAB setups. Since any wort lost due to grain absorption is removed from the kettle when the bag is removed, I would expect the OG to change when I change the grain absorption. The default value of 0.5 qt/lb is too high for BIAB. When I lower it, the recommended total mash water decreases (as expected). However, the OG remains the same with the same grain bill. I would expect it to increase.
Cheers,
Randy
