    First Biab brew

    Make reasoning for not thinking I could do a 10 gallon batch, is because my kettle is 15 gallons Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    First Biab brew

    Thanks for the info! I decided to just do 5 gallons the first time and then try a 10 gallon batch, by rinsing the grains with additional water. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    First Biab brew

    I'm looking into different software stuff, so if I rinse or sparge with the extra water, just use the same water volume that the software suggests? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    First Biab brew

    I have a question, and looking for advice. I plan on doing my first Biab batch tomorrow night. I've been doing 10 gallon extract w/ steeping grains in the past. Me and my brother in law usually get a keg a piece from the brew. I have a 15 gallon brew pot, and from what I've read 10 gallons may...

    New to BIAB

    I've been extract brewing for about a year and was thinking about Biab, until I can save the money to buy or build a sweet electric all grain system. I have a 15 gallon Blichman kettle and was wondering if anyone uses this vessel for biab. I need some guidance on making a good grain bag and how...

    My beer's weak finish

    I will also try dry yeast in my next batch. I've never used it. My fermenter is busy for the next couple weeks with a 10 gallon batch of a summer session recipe I tweaked trying to perfect a good ale they my wimpy family members and I can both enjoy! Thanks

    My beer's weak finish

    I assume the finer crush on the grains gets more sugar/flavor out of the steep. I've never used LME, but not opposed to trying it. The DME I use is Briess light DME.

    My beer's weak finish

    I'm not real familiar with the BIAB. I plan to look into it though. I eventually want to go all grain, I just figured I should do extract for a while and try to get consistency with fermentation and learn more as I go.

    My beer's weak finish

    Sorry for the late response. I used kits from Lhbs that were not old. I did all full boils. 1 five gallon and 2 10 gallon batches. I steeped grains at 160-170 for 30 minutes then did a 60 min boil, using DME and pellet hops on the hip schedule provided. I used wyeast liquid smack packs. My OG...

    My beer's weak finish

    I'm a new brewer, currently brewing extract. We've made five batches so far. The first three batches all came out good, but they all seemed to have a weak/light finishing taste. The initial taste is flavorful, but just seems to lack something at the end. Any suggestions? Thanks

    10 gallon extract batch

    Ok that makes sense, I appreciate the help. This will only be my third batch. The two previous five gallon batches I used liquid Wyeast. Should I use two packs this time?
