Re: Making the transition
I went the AG route almost immediately after starting to brew. I am a chef and just can't help but mess with food. One of my best brews was a pils a couple of years ago which was straight DME. Do what you enjoy and you will always have great brew!!
Lebe das Leben. Um in vollen Zügen. Trinken zu Hause brauen!

Take two is planned for this afternoon, once my Pale Ale finishes and I clean and reset the equipment. Looks like the Pale Ale is at 72% based on post mash gravity, so that's much better, and pretty much what I was getting from the BIAB. I'll confirm the actual numbers once I get the boil done, but I think I've got the milling about right, and sat on the sparge a bit longer than last time.
