BIAB on the other hand, uses one pot for all three stages and instead of pouring the liquor onto the grain (striking) the grains are submerged into the liquor while in a bag to make the mash and straining out of the mash using that bag. The remaining malt in the pot can then be brought to a boil and become a wort.
