BIAB or a tun? Don't sweat it, it wasn't as big a thing as I expected it would be to make the leap. Of course, I went BIAB for half a dozen batches before getting the cooler tun. First BIAB brew is probably the best beer I've ever made.

I do BIAB and don't see a reason to go to traditional all grain method personally because I make really good beer. Pulling The bag is way less of a PITA since I bought a pulley from Harbor Freight. Best $11 I ever spent.

What level of scouts? My boy is a Cub Scout, yet. A wolf, I believe (I'm not really involved in scouts other than getting him where he needs to be).

My son is working on his wolf right now in cub scouts too. After no beer all weekend I'm just about ready for one.

The main reason I switched is because I eventually want to do big beers like RIS, etc. and want something that will accommodate the larger grain bills. I also want to be able to do decotation mashes for Scotch Strong Ales.

EDIT: but the score card so far looks like this:

Extract/PM = Decent Beer 1; Undrinkable Beer 1
BIAB = Decent Beer 1; Good Beer 3; Very Good Beer 2; Undrinkable Beer 0
Cooler Tun = Undrinkable Beer 1; Good Beer 0
 
Yeah I have a love for big beers... But we already have a pulley...

I want to do a traditional 3 vessel brew because i'm curious to see if there is any difference in the rye ipa I brew the most often. I have brewed 2 RIS and I just did 12 gallons of Vanilla Bourbon Porter og = 1.086. i have to admit that I use a hybrid method where I sparge then squeeze the grains and I have an 11 gallon pot and keggle so I did 2 seperate mashes and mixed them in the keggle

Yeah, I can identify at least two major mistakes with my tun brew (on top of it not being a proven recipe) and suspect another mistake. Next one will be good, I'm certain of it. My first BIAB was a vanilla blonde that I really liked and repeated with nearly identical results.

After 50+ biab brews the process is second nature except for temp contr which is kind of critical. I have 3 different thermometers and they all read a little different which irritates the **** out of me.

Congrats! Bling from a comp is nice validation on your brewing (but I still prefer feedback from folks on here.). :mug:

Congratulations! No better reason to defer a brew day!

Finishing up coffee and getting ready to get some things done around the house. Then beer. Better than the 8 (or so) Flying Fish Summer Farmhouse Ales I had last night.

Why did I spend $9 for a 22oz bottle of Simtra when the best beer I've ever drank is $12 for a 6pack? Damn this is good

Water. I was hammered.
 
Not drinking today. But I'll probably have one with my brother later when I go over to my mom's. It will be a High Life from the stash my dad left behind when he died one year ago today.
