All great info, thanks fo all who replied. I will see what I can answer here. I think, and I am at work, so I might be a bit off, but my mash water was somewhere near 5 gallons (this is per Brewfather) and then I followed up with 2 8 liter dunks for about 10 mins each. I checked on the beer this morning and gave it a regular hydrometer reading and it seems my Ispindel was pretty much spot on. So, I moved the bucket to the counter, checked the Ispindel, resanitized everything and put it back in the closet. The last batch I had, when I moved it to the counter it started bubbling again and kicked the fermenting into gear. Does not appear that this is going to happen with this one. I will say, that while I was doing the dunks of the grains, I had the burner set pretty low so maybe the wort in the pot cooled off a bit? I am toying with adding more yeast, maybe my starter wasn't right. But all I have is BRY97 and S05, and I used WLP001 initially. Would that hurt anything if I mix the yeast like that?
So, what you are all saying is use full volume, ie about 6.5 gallons of water in the mash? I can try that with my next batch. I am disappointed, but not bummed out completely. This is my second or third attempt at a BIAB and I am still getting the hang uf it. Maybe the second dunk did something? In the last 2, I poured 170 degree water over the grain back and into the boil kettle and that worked out ok,maybe I should go back to that. Either way, I appreciate all the info and suggestions. I will get this right eventually. LOL
