My bad. I posted while on a connection that wouldn't support streaming video - checking it out now.

I've been searching the forum to see if anyone has successfully done a 10 gallon BIAB? I'm going to set up a pulley system to handle the weight of the bag. My concern is whether my 20 gallon boilermaker will hold the grain bill and water? I'm also thinking of using the hop blocker at the...

Well since you put it that way....but of course. I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible. I found some good links to BIAB sites last night that discussed exactly how to go about this - without batch sparging. Depending on your beer style it should work well (good for ales, maybe not for...

No second vessel. Also, I have to confess that I haven't done a complete study on BIAB yet. Since I have a pump for my Jamil chiller, I've thought about rigging it to do a RIMS of sorts. I have a rotating Phil's sparging arm that I have never really put to use. I suppose I could rig a wort...

This thread has generated a lot of great info! Gotta love HBT, I wish I had found it sooner. I went ahead and ordered a bag for my 20 gallon kettle from Jeff Omundsun. He has a great page that goes into BIAB. He, of course, sews and sells bags for $35. I know one can go DIY for less...

Hmmmmm. It has been so darned long since I brewed extract. If I do, I will certainly go DME over LME for many reasons I have read about. As to "late" addition in the boil..... do you mean I don't do a one hour boil or what? I mean, if I'm doing an extract brew all I am cooking before...

I'm intrigued by BIAB. I've heard of it but never looked into it too much. I brew 10 gallon batches and my kettle is 20 gallons. Can I do a 10 gallon BIAB batch? Thanks everyone! I'm glad I discovered HBT!

Am I the only one? I started brewing 20 years ago with a small kettle, a plastic bucket, and a batch tub as a chiller. I graduated to a Sabco Brew Magic and brewed all grain for the past 17 years. After ignoring my system for a while, I sold it. Now I'm about to get back to it. I reserved...
