I used kegconnection.com for my set up minus the kegs, which were on sale at my lhbs at the time. One thing worth looking into that I discovered after the fact is the local welding supply Co. I spent...

You can do any recipe, any size with biab. Since you're doing all grain you can just order the grains separately to do 3 gallons instead of the usual 5 that kits come in. I've had a lot of luck with...

I do BIAB as well and, like the others said, stir it well in the beginning and leave it. I usually wrap an old winter coat around the kettle to retain heat and then just give it a good stir before I...

You say they're in packets which makes me think dry yeast. If that's the case they should be fine. My lhbs keeps their dry yeast on shelves, not in the fridge. I've also ordered a ton of dry yeast...

I believe 10 ft is the recommended starting point. Mostly because it's easier to shorten it if necessary than add to it. I just started kegging in Dec and got 10 ft lines and they've been fine so...

X2 on more time. Two weeks is the minimum for carbonation at best. Let them age a bit more and then try them. I don't know all of the science behind why this happens but I know the longer I let it...
