If you are asking whether the beer will spoil, it will if you do not seal the lid with some c02. Either way would be fine, I will sometimes seal the lid and put the beer in the fridge to cold crash for awhile in the keg then carbonate. Cheers

As rodwha said.. Brewer Friend is free if you keep it under 5 recipes... knew when I originally researched it that it was less then Beer Smith and why I went with it to start. But yes now I pay the $25 or whatever it is per year. Cheers

Hey Mac... I agree with comments above that many components can cause the off flavours. As long as you are sure you have the cleaning and sanitizing down, I would suggest perhaps water chemistry is where you should look. Adjust your water a bit for each type of beer you are brewing and you...

Nice set up. A quick solution would be to replace the basket and a mesh bag. The lads at Brew in a Bag would probably be pleased to hook you up. :) Cheers

Not sure I would bother translating a recipe from extract to AG, there are lots of great AG recipes out there for you. Brewers Friend is a good option for software and less expensive then beer smith, we use brewers friend at our brew pub and it works great. Cheers.

For 5G batches $2,600.00 is more then enough for everything by far. I do both BIAB and 2 vessels. BIAB at home and 2 Vessel system (high gravity) at my brew pub. I would have gone with a BIAB at my brew pub but the 2 Vessel system was actually less expensive. Personally I recommend the BIAB...

No question BIAB Is the route to go, pretty much exactly what I did when I moved from kit to AG. Its easy, inexpensive and makes great beer. Cheers!

Happy to be here gang! Found you on a google search! Cheers Big Robb
