New From NorCal
Do you let left coasters in? Name is Bill and I have just completed my first BIAB. I've done extracts for awhile and yesterday was my first attempt at AG. My numbers came out pretty darn good but my gravity to the fermenter was quite a bit higher than I expected despite my predicted volumes being right on.

Re: New From NorCal
you won't be the first left coaster we have on here 
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: New From NorCal
Welcome - it doesn't matter where you're from, as long as you like beer!
And you can't complain about ending up with a higher gravity beer, that's a good day. Just adjust your efficieny on future brews until you get your system dialed in.

Hmm, thought I posted a thanks for the messages.. but didn't show up. If it's waiting to be approved, this'll be a repeat.
Anyhow, I found you in a round about way cuz I saw a post referencing Jimmy's bags. They look good. I wrote him a message about brewing using the bag in an ice chest vs the kettle.. Haven't heard back.. I'll have to be impatient
Thanks again for the nice welcomes...... Bill

Welcome aboard, Bill!
I've just done a single BIAB batch myself, and everything was right on. My guess at 70% efficiency was a good one, I guess.
