I apologize in advance, as I know that the answers to my questions are out there to be found, but I have been reading for hours and am unable to synthesize it all. My familiarity with all the technical speak is not as advanced as I'd like it to be, which gives me trouble in sifting through all the information out there.
Just got a 35-quart turkey fryer setup, and I plan to get into the BIAB method. I have never tried it before, so I am totally clueless as to my limitations and the unique challenges to expect. I have a lot of questions, and if anyone has answers to any of them, I would be really grateful.
I typically brew around 5 gallons of beer and don't have a huge amount of interest in buying lots more bottles to increase my batch size. Will I run into trouble aiming for 5 gallon batches?
Is there anywhere one can buy a voile bag made for BIAB brewing, or is this a DIY item?
Are there special recipes out there which are tailored to BIAB method? If not, how does one adapt?
How necessary is a wort chiller?
Do I need to try and develop a sparge system or can I just squeeze the bag over the kettle and move along?
In general, is it looked down upon to use Irish moss or anything of that nature?
Basically, can someone teach me what the hell I'm doing?
