So I've been brewing BIAB for while now, but have been having trouble holding mash temperatures during the colder months. I've recently changed setups with the aim to accomplish 2 things: hold mash temperatures consistent and minimize my space requirements.
This is what I came up with:
-I heat my strike water in the kettle, pump it up to the cooler and mash BIAB style in my cooler - full volume, no sparge-no mashout.
-Gravity drain mash tun to kettle, while the bag is still in place
-Proceed with boil
I brewed using this method for the first time this weekend, mash efficiency was 78% - I'm very happy with that :rockin:
The stand is very compact and sets up and tears down in literally 20 seconds. Each shelf is rated for 250lbs and the whole thing is powder coated. By not pumping wort I save cleanup of the pump, and by using BIAB in the cooler mash tun cleanup is a breeze.
