I have my system set up exactly as the picture and it primes itself every time. As long as the pump head is below the level of the wort it will prime. Be sure that the wort comes in from the bottom so that an air bubble does not cause cavitation. Just open the ball valve and wait for the wort or...

That's about the same as I get, maybe if I was more patient I would not need to squeeze. I let mine drain about 15-20 mins.

If you can't turn the cap easily, your cap is probably sealed.

I lose about 8 ounces per pound of grain. Admittedly, I squeeze my bag a little. My boil off rate is 1.25 gallons per hour in a 15 gallon kettle.

On my first batch with the high gravity system was 73% brew house efficiency, approx. 80% mash efficiency. I think that is pretty good for a BIAB system.

I now remember why I don't hang out in these forums. Arrogance. There is obviously a large market for those "who can't be bothered" or "are scared". It is about making beer and sharing, not blasting people who prefer to buy some of there equipment made by a professional.

Just for clarity, I just purchased the high gravity eBIAB system for about $1100. This included controller (the single vessel model), kettle, pump, temp sensor and plumbing. Assembly was easy. This was priced in the ballpark of most similar systems (brewmeister, brewha, etc.). I'm not sure if we...

I had a mega pot. Great pot.

My sources say the Boil Coil is the bomb. I don't have any personal experience.

I just got the High Gravity set up and so far so good. I am documenting the system on my Facebook page BRTbrewing. Check that out and maybe it will help.
