Jag kör BIAB. Då drar man i ALLT vatten på en gång. Det blir rätt tunt. Och hög effektivitet.

"If you have a very thin mash – you lose the buffering effect of the high substrate concentration and the enzymes themselves work more slowly in the more dilute solution. So what conclusions can you draw??
Obviously that the very thin mashes of BIAB will mean that the Beta Amalayse enzymes will not get a chance to work before they are denatured, and the only things left to convert the starch will be alpha amalayse (which produces dextrins remember) so therefore BIAB beers will be too unfermentable and sweet. Right??
Not so much! This is a case of a little knowledge being dangerous. Mashing theory is quite a bit more complicated than that and there are a lot of different things going on in there. There is substrate inhibition, product inhibition, gelatinisation and liquefaction rates and percentages. And, the fact that the enzymes don’t work alone but act on each other’s products.
Great swathes of inter-acting factors, all of which add up to the fact that given a decently diastatic malt and a not stupid proportion of unmalted adjunct – there is not a hell of a lot of difference between the fermentability of a wort mashed at a 3L/kg ratio and one mashed at 7:1. Sure, you might run out of luck at higher than that... but we don’t need to go there so it doesn't matter. Will there be a difference between a beer brewed with a genuinely thick mash (less than 2:1) and one brewed at 6 or 7:1?
Probably, but certainly nothing that can’t be completely compensated for by tweaking your rest temperatures a little."
