Stout BIAB kettle 18 gallon

[Lanky94]

Hello all.

Just wondering what e of everyones thoughts are on this bit of kit?

I am waiting for delivery on one that I will be electric firing and controlled by a PID 30a BIAB controller from ebrewsupply.

The quality and work of the kettle looks spot on, but I cant help thinking I should have had stout made the basket with solid sides and a 400 micron mesh bottom?

Do you all think I will get decent results by using a bag inside the provided basket?

The basket has 3/32 holes on sides and bottom like a false bottom. Have you asked Stout what they recommend ?

I did speak the designer and he recommended using a bag aswell. Just curious to see if others have used it aswell as peoples thoughts on it

My entire electric BIAB setup, including a stainless mesh basket, costs what they're asking just for that kettle.

Your not the first to say it's expensive

Sorry for bringing to life a deceased thread but I would love to hear about the performance of these Stout BIAB Kettles.

Can @Lanky94 oe anyone else give us some feedback? Is the bag still necessary?

There’s this video where @highland_brewer interviewed Tyler from Stout Kettles where Tyler explains a little bit about the BIAB system but there’s nothing else.
