If you biab why do you need the braid at all?
I thought that. Do I actually need it if I go biab? Should I take it off? Just ball valve?

I actually made the tun before discovering the biab. Been out of the game for a while...

I had a mash tun like that and I used a brew bag in addition. I mashed normally and batch sparged the bag just seemed to keep the braid clean and drained better. Now that you have the braid I would use it as it or with a bag and batch sparge.

I'll do another Liquid Stupid (aka Drunken Monkey) but I might try a dry Belgian yeast (Abbaye?). Also an IPA, one of those tropical fruity type ones. Got a good recioe?
I do. Will post later.

Btw, I used the biab on Saturday and it worked very well. 83% efficiency. Much better than the old braid I had been using for years.
What was the OG on that and the grain weight? If you make a small beer you will be in the 90's. That is cray good.

I didn't take notes (I should have). I just remembered the 83% when I punched it in at the time. Iirc, I used 13.5# of grain with 3# honey and 1#sugar and put 6 gallons in my fermenter at 1.096.
Correction. I used 14.5 pounds of grain.
