Ooops! Thats what I ment. Sorry. Concerning the weight, i have a collender that fits in side the pot perfectly and plan on useing a hand wench to lift and drain. I can also buy a custom fit bag online. I was mainly worried about volumes and efficentcies.

I'm thinking of switching to biab method to save time and space. I have a 15 gallon pot and want to do 10 gallon batches. No more than a 20lb grain weight. What problems will i have doing this. I do it all the time with a 10 gallon cooler-sparge method. thanks

Finished!!!

SWMBO loves the stuff and I can quite make it. Any ideas for an allgrain clone batch. Thanks!!

I agree, my LHBS is 100 miles away. The savings do add up and I feel like i'm killing perfectly good yeast that have worked so hard to make me great beer without asking anything in return:)
