Wondering what bag people doing biab are using when mashing fine ground corn. I think the bag i have the ground corn would go straight through. I was thinking maybe muslin cloth bag inside the biab to hold the fine corn and rye (going to grind rye to flour also). Thoughts?

Wouldn't fine or corn meal just clump and block the bag up?
I haven't done biab so I don't know.

After reading Brendan's burban thread seems clogging the bag will be an issue will try and work something out. After doing nutrigrain whiskey not looking forward to trying to squeeze the juice out of corn meal.

When you did your all grain attempt how did you do the corn? When I made bwko I used whole cracked corn in a bag and cooked it till it was porridge. I may just do that again..

Don't use my example. I blew it.
I just put it in the boiler at 100 degrees and stirred like crazy. Then stirred occasionally with the power off until 65 degrees when I added the malt and put it into sterile eskies overnight.
Pitched the yeast the following morning. Fermented on the grain.
Probably should have reboiled and fast chilled before I pitched the yeast.

Sounds like how I did the bwko but in an insulated t500 boiler but after conversion I re boiled then let it cool overnight in airtight fermenter. May just stick with that method..may run it through mill to maybe halve size of cracked corn it may speed up the cooking process :think:

When i used rice in beer i put the rice through coffee grinder and then poured boiling water onto the rice and let cool slowly .When it cooled got thicker so at 72 Celsius added some malt and liquefied quickly.Then added the rest of the malt at the lower temperature .I used a paint strainer bag 20 l do not think corn would be any different and if some does go through bag leave in the fermenter.

ok cool will try that and will try doing a coarser grind say half way between flour and cracked corn then will decide what works best for me.
