Here is my question...I want to get away from extract brewing and get deeper into the AG thing. I assume BIAG is the logical next step up. Here are a few questions that I have one vs the other -
1. I have a 7.5 gallon Aluminum Bayou Classic pot. I brew on my gas burner outside. Well, its cold here in Ga in January/February and that pot doesn't hold heat very well at all. how will I keep my strike temp where it is supposed to be with no chance of holding heat?
2. What equipment would I need for both BIAG and AG? I know I would ned to convert a cooler to a mash tun, but how much would that cost me to do? In general? BIAG, I could use what I already have, except for the fact that the kettle won't hold the heat.
3. If I did BIAG and did it in the house on the stove, I can set the stove to keep the heat around where I need it and then take it outside to boil...Is BIAG messy at all? Will my wife kill me during my first brew?
Im just conflicted...cmon guys...talk me into one or the other...please? :fro:
