Any chance I could get more info on this? I've tried 2 extract BIpa's before and basically made sh*te of them! I've just started all grain do third time lucky hopefully with a Bipa.

What temp did you do your mash? In particular the dark grain?

Was the boil 75 mins or 90 mins?

Any other info would be great thanks.

No bother! I Mashed at 72deg and batch sparged with 77deg.
Boiled for 75 minutes.

Thanks a mill, did you cold steep the dark grains or just include them in the normal mash?

[helmet]

They all went into the mash.

Sweet, cheers
