I love this technique!! I think it's a really smart way to brew great beer.
But, man, I wish it was called Single Vessel Brewing. "Brew in a Bag" just makes it sound lame.
Anyone else?
You may have a good point. Maybe some of the "real all grain" brewers wouldn't be so condescending then!
what kind of condescending remarks are made by "real" all grain brewers? Biab to me is just as much all grain because you're using...wait for it...all grain. I like the term biab because that is what is going on. I don't call all grain with three vessels 3-vessel brewing.

I am curious though, as I saw you mention this in the thread about Veteran brewers who still bottle. What was it about kegging you didn't like? I'm back and forth all the time about going back to bottling. I've been kegging for 4 years. How long did you keg?I bottle. I kegged at one time, but didn't like it, sold it all off, have no plans to go back. But I wish I still had 4 of my cornies back for lagering...
Um no. We're not brewing in a bag. We're brewing in a kettle and we use a bag to contain and then remove the grain.
It's like saying you make tea in a tea bag No you make tea in a tea pot.

Jeez, I'm glad nobody calls my method BIACRWC (Brew In A Converted Rubbermaid Water Cooler). That would be a real mouthful.
Or BIMOSGC "Brew in my old softball gatorade cooler"
No. Don't concern yourself with such frivolity. You'll live longer.
It's not gonna keep me up at night.
Jeez guys,
I was just curious if anyone else wasn't crazy about a technique having kind of a crappy name.

[sarcasm] I just hate Australia, and everything about it. And everything that comes from it.
LOL - wait until you've been on the forum a few more months. In my short time here, I've seen some humongous pi$$ing contests over stuff that doesn't make a darn! (Kinda like discussions on motorcycle forums about which is the best oil. )
Hey! I think I started some of those.

Not a fan of it, but I'm also really not a fan of "home brewer" either
That brings up a question I've been trying to understand:
What can you brew with a 3-vessel system that you can't brew with BIAB?
