This is why people spargue with water. I don't even worry about it

This is a complete load of shit, twas a myth made up by people who doubted BIAB brewing
I've been squeezing the shit out of my bag for years and have made award winning beers and spirits with that method, NEVER had a single judge mention anything about tannins

Im yet to try but i would have to agree. ive read about the tannins thing. Imagine a tea bag. leave it in too long and tannins leach out. now the grain bag... it is in boiling watter for a long time just sitting there. One would imagine any tannins that are going to leech out will leach out in this boiling process, not the squeezing of the bag. ill try both methods and report back but do not hold your breath :))
