Hey HBT,
Been researching making the jump to all grain via BIAB from my current extract setup. Wanted to list out the things I think I need to get and get some feedback.
I'm currently doing half volume boils for extract. I have a home made 20ft copper immersion wort chiller I use before dumping into the fermenter, adding water to full volume and fermenting.
I want to do mostly 5gal batches.
Things I think I need to upgrade:
10+ gal pot for full volume boil
BIAB bag
False bottom to stop bag from scorching
Propane heater
Something to wrap around/insulate kettle during mash
Heat resistant gloves
Nice to haves / soon after:
Fermentation chamber for when the weather gets hot
Grill/pizza tray to plop bag on top of kettle to get drippings.
Unsure:
Stand for burner - presumably I'll need the burner to be high enough up that I can easily siphon the wort into my fermenter once it's cooled. Not sure how most folks do this.
Thoughts on what I have above? Am I missing anything?
