Hey guys, i've finally had it with my Spike Solo 20G mash basket. Had a disaster of a brew session and WAY undershot gravity. Had to crush too coarse to keep grain out of the boil. So, it's time to go with a BIAB. The issue is that I can't permanently install a hoist in the ceiling. I need a portable setup. My system height is 3.5 feet at the top of the kettle. My step ladder has a height of 7.7 feet. If I hoist the bag from the top of the ladder, Is that enough height differential to fit the bag and hoist above the kettle? In other words, how much height above the kettle is necessary to fit a bag and hoist after mashing? Cheers.
