How to add Mash Out step to BIAB Recipe

[Brownyard]

I couldn't quite figure out how to add a Mash Out step to Mash Guidelines. Also, which of the Mash Types is entered for BIAB if I won't be sparging? Strike? Steeping?

I might call it an infusion or fly sparge step.

TBO i quit doing it, made no difference. You are gonna sparge and then boil within 15 minutes usually. Mashout isn't necessary

ILL record it as "Temperature add the value then call it what it is.

For a single mash step, with no sparging but a temperature rise to mash out you would use something like the below. Adjust the volumes and temps to your setup as always.

With that said, there shouldn't be any need to do a mashout if you're not sparging.

To be clear, the purpose of a mashout is to lock in the fermentability of the wort so it doesn't change during a prolonged fly sparge, and it is ever so slightly helpful for grain bills with high amounts of flaked grains that contain large amounts of beta-glucan such as flaked oats or rye.

Since you're using a bag or basket of some kind presumably, and not performing a long hour (or more!) fly sparge, there's no need to do a mashout. If you're seeing differences in conversion and a raise in gravity, then you should probably look at your mash conditions themselves to improve the mash instead.
