Here is an idea to make your brew day easier next time you want to do a 10 gallon batch: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f36/sids-one-vessel-all-grain-brewing-system-360364/

Greetings! This thread inspired me to start tinkering with BIAB all grain about six months ago, thank you Seven. It is a great technique, a real revolution. In my constant quest to simplify and optimize I came up with a way to brew ten gallon batches very easily using a BIAB system with no extra...

Of course they are, I had limited time when I was answering before, your questions required a bit more of a thorough answer. And thank you for the compliment on the video, it means a lot. The cold water sparge is really just to get some extra sugar out of the mash without doing a ton of extra...

Jay1 and jfrizzell, thanks for the tip! This alone made posting this video worth it. I am going to get one of these before I brew next (maybe this weekend!). Also, thank you Jay1, you gotta try it. It's just so easy and there is very little barrier to doing a 10 gallon batch. :rockin:

Very cool, electric urns seem to be more popular for brewing on the other side of the pond. This system works great for electric brewing as well. Same thing, solo, ten gallon, all grain, one vessel batches. I use heatsticks for electric brewing but my goal is to have a controller driven system...

Greetings! I am a longtime lurker on the forums; I have taken a lot from these pages, this is my go - to brewing website. I have a technique I have been using for the last six months that I want to share. This is a simple refinement on a well known technique along with a few other tips and...

Yeah, we have some great beer bars here, do you ever make it down to Sugar Maple in Bay View? Last time I was there they were pouring $4 PINTS of Sierra Nevada Estate Ale!

I have a 2000w heatstick and a 1500w heatstick made according to the Cedar Creek instructions. I do 12 gallon batches. I have some data about time to temp with different volumes. The 1500 never got 5 gallons to boil in an uninsulated keggle in 1.5 hours. This prompted me to build the 2000 watt...

Your first beer ever was a saison . . . AWESOME! I would guess that the fruit flies are good for your beer ;). I have heard that fruit flies are carriers of wild yeasts. Saisons with crazy yeasts, brett, and some sour and fruity profiles are pretty common, maybe even the norm. It was often...

Thats what I thought too after 12 straight killer all grain brews this season. In September, I brewed an amarillo honey brew with marris otter, biscuit, and honey malt. The sweet wort looked and smelled great. When I was racking to the primary I asked my girlfriend to bleach her hands before...
