yep.. I use just a Voile bag. my largest beer so far had a 12.5lb grain bill, add in another 8lbs for absorption and that's 20.5lbs.. bag still holding up great. I recently got a keggle and will be doing BIAB on it as well. my new bag will be made to fit the keggle and I won't be using a metal basket. As long as the bag is sewn together the right way it'll hold.
