I am planning to do an imperial stout in the near future which calls for 20lbs of grain. My original plan was to buy the false bottom linked below and a grain bag and do a BIAB without the malt pipe.
This morning I got video on my youtube feed where the guy was doing an imperial in his 10.5 and he did a reiterated mash. I am now thinking I will do that instead & save myself ~$50 at the cost of ~1 extra hour of brew day time.
My question is, does it matter which grains I mash in the first or second mash? i.e. is it ok to mill all grains together and do a mix of everything twice, or should I keep dark malts separate and mash those in the second pass.
Thanks!
