wilserbrewer BIAB bags, March Madness free shipping offer

Sale continues through "March Madness" NCAA Tournament April 8th

Being a new vendor, I thought I would run a little "March Madness" sale. Through March we will offer free shipping (US domestic, Canada $5 additional) on custom sized BIAB bags to fit any kettles or keggles up to 20 gallons. Bags are constructed of polyester voile material and are double stitched on a new Brother 1034D Serger machine for very nice stitch quality. The bags are very durable and come with a 1/8" poly braid drawstring that is very strong (200 lb break strength). I have done grain bills close to 40 pounds without issue. I ran some strength tests a while back and posted findings here...

Please be sure to include kettle height and width with your order to assure a nice fit. Thank you and happy brewing!

I got my bag from you and am very happy with it. Good luck with your sale!

Just ordered, thanks!

Do you not make bags for kettles over 20 gallons, or is that just not included in the sale? I'm gonna be building my new system with a Bayou Classic 1102 which is a 25g kettle and steamer basket. How much would a bag be for that basket? I believe the basket is 17.25" D X 21 H. Thanks.

mikeysab,

Not a problem, that steamer is a reasonable size and I can hold the $20 sale price.

I can make any size bag, width is really more of an issue than depth. The poly voile roll size limits bag width to about an 18.5" diameter kettle for a basic bag, sizing above that is not a problem, just a little more work. Please contact me if you need a large kettle bag.

ordered could not find a way to order more than 1

Like this?

You could probably find one laying around the house on something you dont use. I know my kids' have a million of them on bags and such.

Yes, actually I have given some thought to using "drawstring thingies" or a cordlock on the bags drawstring, but I have found that it is very secure to fasten the bag to the kettle lip with binder clips...perhaps a few more seconds work, but they do the intended job very well.
I use a few binder clips when I BIAB and would recommend them.

yea, one of those

Bungee cord also works wonders and is easy to remove

Talk about fast shipping! Got mine in the mail today. Great quality and fits perfectly. Will check in after brew day

Yes thank you, we stock many common sizes, so often we can do next day shipping USPS first class, which only takes 2-3 days.

The "March Madness" free shipping offer will continue until the end of the NCAA tournament on April 8, 2013. All bags up to 20 gallons ship free for $20.00 (domestic USA, Canada $5 additional)

Also, we have sourced some very handy rope ratchet pulleys that are an excellent fit for BIAB lifting. Comes with 8' long 1/8" poly braid cord with a rated working load of 75 lbs. The best feature is the ratchet lock mechanism for hands free operation while leaving the bag hanging and draining. Only $5 each, so with the current sale, bag and pulley shipped is only $25.



What the heck, the next bag order will recieve a free 1/8" rope ratchet pulley upon request.
Please respond to this thread to claim your free pulley.

Thank you,
wilserbrewer

I was just getting ready to order from your site and was asking how I could add the pulley. Glad I read through the rest of the thread! Can I just place my order on your website then?

Been lurking on here to learn about BIAB the past few months, going to brew my first batch in a couple of weeks. I'm pumped!

Cheers...

Yes Warner, please order on the site, please also include your kettle dimensions and "free pulley" offer in the "note to seller" with your paypal payment...hop bags are a $4 dollar add if you are interested.

The web site check out is not so great...you can also just make a payment to the paypal address referenced during check-out. Thanks for your interest.

What are the dimensions of the hop bag? I use a hop spider and about 16" long would work out great.

The hop bags I have made are pretty large, like 10-12" X 28"...If you give your desired dimensions, I'd be happy to stitch it up. Sorry, but the $4 hop bag price only works with the purchase of a BIAB bag, but I could do $12 shipped for a hop bag, or $24 shipped for both a hop bag and kettle BIAB bag.

Thanks,

I was planning to get at least 1 maybe 2 BIAB bags and was curious about the size of the hop bags. I'll probably get 1 or 2 of those too.

Sorry guys! Pulleys are currently out of stock but new shipment is expected in about a week...my apologies, didn't expect this kind of movement. Will update as new inventory arrives. Again, my apologies.

wilserbrewer

Shall I still order or wait for updated stock?

Yes please order, but shipping will be delayed a week. I'm certain they are coming, just don't have them in hand. Sorry for the delay.

Wilserbrewer

Thanks for your patronage, sale ends this evening at the conclusion of the NCAA final.

Thanks,

Got my custom bag and a hop bag. Perfect fit and should work well. Hop bag should be more durable than the paint strainer bags I normally use for hops.

Glad to hear your bag fits well, haha. Yes the hop bags are sturdy and should last a long time.

We have recently added what we call the "Triple Play Combo", which is a BIAB bag, a Hop Bag, and a Ratchet Pulley. Discounted price is $28 plus $3 shipping.

details here... http://biabbags.webs.com/

Thanks again,
Mike

I recently saw a bag with four climbing carabiners (sp?) sewn to it, for use with a ratchet system. Could you do this? I always struggle tying the bag to the hook. Btw, I have 2 of your bags, they are great.

LabRat,
Yes, I am familiar with bag handles, the bag you referenced comes with nylon webbing attachment points, not the carabiners. I have considered adding handles to my product line, but don't feel they are worth the added expense. Bags with handles are $35 shipped, my bags are only $23 shipped, In my humble opinion an expense most are not looking for.

When I BIAB brew, I have no issues securing the bag to the ratchet pulley. I intend to post a bag hoisting tutorial soon on HBT as well as my site to clearly show the process I use.

Thanks for your purchases and support!

Regards,
wilserbrewer

I've used your bag once, it works great....look at your bag on your website, first thing I think about are adult diapers....

Very happy with this bag. Second time using it today, will last for several more batches at least. I ordered before the pulleys were being added, but here's mine atop my $5 BBQ grate dripping into my kettle after a mash out. 75% efficiency both times I've used this bag. Works great

Very happy with the quality of the bag, looking forward to doing my first biab with it. It looks like it will hold up for many brews to come.
