We have 4 of them. We found them on kijiji. We looked for probably a year and finally stumbled upon these ones. Another good bet would be to check your local scrap yard's stainless section. This takes some frequency and commitment but I've seen the odd gem at the yards around me.

17433 + 480 gallons all IPA, (havn't chimed in this year) 17913

We live in Canada, i believe there is no legal limit as long as it is consumed by friends or family and not sold.

We just chill and pitch. Ferment with trub and all. No off flavors to speak of. I've had infections before in smaller batches (lactobascillus) and get pretty worried about dumping 120 gallons after all that time, effort and $$. Its an extra step at the end of the day and helps me sleep at night.

Thanks for the input. I am going to dabble with this idea. I originally mapped out an electric system for my setup but found that heating 2 65 gallon pots would require too much hydro and investment. I do like the slow and steady set it and forget it method though. That may just work for us and...

Challenge accepted! Ive been giving it a lot of thought, We do 2 brews in a day, side by side, so i think we may be able to mash each bag of grain twice, and concentrate the wort collected into a third pot. Time is definitely a restriction considering our brew day can exceed 12 hours sometimes...

Yes!! I'm happy to hear you say that, this has helped us leap and bounds on brew day. Cleaning and sanitizing 24 carboys is a chore, and accidents happen too, so being short a carboy puts a damper on our final volume. Semi-open fermenting worried me a lot in the beginning but after a few...

Yup, thats basically it. The OSB is on the top side of a stainless lid we cut. The osb is more or less just for rigidity. Stainless for my sanitary sanity.

Thanks Wilserbrewer. I'm going to give that a shot next time, i worried about slippage with my knot but this one looks a lot more secure. Shouldnt be a problem tying it lower on the bag with this one.

Thanks man, ya, that's how I started out , don't worry about the weight in the bag, shouldn't a problem. The bigger the bag the more weight she can take. Learned that from wilserbrewers huge BIAB. Made me nervous the first couple times though.

Sorry for the repeated posts above guys. Here's a couple pics, they're fermenting right now so the pics are a little sub par. Our first attempt at this was to slice a silicone hose down the center and attach it the the lip of the pot and then put the lid on and clamp it down with about 10...

That is basically the setup we have now but the height restriction of the deck doesnt allow for the full length of the bag to be lifted up and out of the pot. Ideally we would be lifting the bag without the use of the eye hooks, so that was my thought with removing the deck board. It would also...

Well, we have 6 thirsty guys involved and it lasts us about 2.5 months-ish. 6 guys 4 kegs each.

You can see it that second pic that our last brew almost had an oopsies, the board popped out while we were bringing the bag up. Scared the hell out of us. Didn't fully come down though, thank the beer gods.

Hey wilserbrewer I actually got the balls to pull this off because of you. I saw those pics and thread of that huge BIAB brew. Loved it. Had to give it a go. Our bag system is different now, we do it all in one. A measly 140 lb grain bill. Haha. You got me beat. The castor idea is history...

Funny you say that PADave, we just had to dump a whole batch due to acetaldehyde, and Fusel, 24 kegs down the drain, it hurt to me my core. We didn't chill it far enough and stopped at around 85 f. We didn't have an a/c setup in our ferm chamber either which just added to the problems. Sad, sad...

Wow, I havnt thought about that. But amazing idea. Considering our efficiency is only about 65% I'm sure we could extract quite a bit more sugary goodness out the rest of the grain. We're gonna give that a go next time. I appreciate the insight.

Just added another pic. It all goes down the driveway. We are going to try another solution and run a hose all the way to the closest sewer and try to deflect it from the driveway next time. Washing it down wastes a lot of water though, and smells and attracts flies if its not all washed down.

Thanks Bucketnative, im definitely going to pursue that. Would be a huge help.

Hi Fellow brewers I thought I’d chime in for once after absorbing everyone else’s information and keeping it as my own. We do 2 x 65 gallon brews in a day, BIAB style. I thought I’d share our process and hopefully someone out there will get some ideas, learn something, or at...
