I do full boil BIAB and squeeze the bag... I let mine rest in the primary for 4 weeks... I've never had what I felt as loss hoppiness doing this... Adding hops in at 2 weeks or 3 weeks depending on the recipe, but I put them in a hop sack. I also use Irish moss at 15 minutes before end of...

I just throw them in a hop sack, toss them in the primary for two weeks.

Pretty much do that with my brews. I believe in higher alcohol content beers. I drink to enjoy them, not for quantity. I either do a mash in my cooler then go into my 10 gallon pot or do it in my 20 gallon pot. Depends on the time of the year as for maintaining my mash temperature... just...

Did this one in a 10 gallon run, 5 I stayed as it was, then did 5 gallons with wood cubes. The wood cubes I did 4 oz in Jim Beam First Cut for about a month then drained them off, bagged it and dropped it into the keg for about 2 weeks. Both are awesome, can say that either are better, just...

Did this back in the end of February. I wasn't really impressed with it till about 2 weeks ago. I mean it was good, just seemed to be missing something. It's came together rather nicely here in the last few weeks. I'll definitely be adding this to my rotation.... Thanks for the recipe!

Yes on the Wilserbrewer bag... I've got 3 of his big bags and the other assortment bags (spider hop and secondary hop). But if your going into bigger brews like I did (8 to 10% ABV). I'd look at least at the 15 gallon, I kick myself for not thinking that far ahead. I just ended up with a...

Yea, that would be a good one, I just bought a 6 pack of the Mucho IPA. I was quite impressed with it, it was different and I like to try different combinations. Or even the Founders Breakfast Stout. I just did that one and the initial tasting were good. But if you try it post it up, I might...

What temperature are you conditioning them in?

Welcome from another KC'r.... Definitely a enjoyable hobby... Plus not only do you get to reap the rewards of the seeds that you've sown, but you can savor them for a while ....

Congrats! I just got started doing BIAB and just got my bags about a month ago. Have already done two brews with it. Great Bag and Great Customer Service.

You wont be wasting working. It'll still be good, I'm sure. But being a stout, I'd wait another week and possible another one. Stouts take a few more days to carb up in the bottle vs. a lighter beer.

I bought a 10 gallon pot, thought it was going to be bigger than I'd need. Little did I know that I should have went to a 15 gallon pot. If I want to continue to do full volume mash, and no sparge. I ran 19.25 lbs of grains with 9 gallons of water in my Spike kettle. Well I had to drain out...

Another KC Brewer here... Just getting my feet wet...:D

In...

Wow. I'm with him, hadn't seen that one. Even with the email back and forth there wasn't a mention of that. Interesting..,.
