If all your sanitation was correct just put the lid on the fermentation bucket after you pour your wort in and get your yeast it will wait.

I really like this thread. It gives so much to use new brewers. Before I start with my BIAB I would like to comment about my conditions. I live in the country, I have no outside area to brew on, no garage or shop to brew in. My house is small and all bedrooms are in use(Wife, granddaughter, and...

Check out Dave's reply to controller in ScrewyBrewer's post on High Gravity controllers.

I would say that a DIY project is not for everyone but for those that do "good for them". Heck I've even done one on a controller for my fermentation chamber, it wasn't to hard but the planning and running to get everything was just not really my thing. I'm sure if I wanted to, I could build my...

Thanks Jason; I saw the vid of Basic Brewing on this system. I'm not really starting out from scratch, I've brewed a few batches with my 20 quart kettle but its a pain in the behind doing a 5 gal. in that size kettle and yes I know a lot of people do it and like it, but I don't. I want a system...

I plan on making a trip to the High Gravity Store in the near future, and want to talk to Dave about this system. I'll bring your (augiedoggy) statements about the poor quality and workmanship of the EBC controller and cost of the system up at that time. I'll see if he has one he can show me...

Hello All; I posted in the all grain forum about this system wanting some answers form those who have used it. I see that a lot of brewers are saying that the system is cheap or its to expensive or what not. All I have to say is depending on which sight you go to or who you ask someone somewhere...

Only thing I can come up with, was the yeast fresh or was it old? How was your fermentation conditions (stable or w/temp swings). Three weeks should have been enough time to ferment but now that your doing all grain need to take hydrometer readings about 3 days before you think its finished IMO...

Yeah thank Texaswine I know that some may think its pricey but from my research I've done with what it comes with its worth it.

Thanks singletrack; don't have a garage to hang out in so kitchen is a must.

Thanks Texaswine and rwinzing for speedy comeback. Didn't see the forum for electric systems but thanks. rwinzing have heard anything about the effiecncy or the adding of DME or LME's?

Hello all. I'm planning on pulling the trigger on the High Gravity BIAB brewing system in November, and was wondering if anyone here at HomeBrewTalk has any experience with this system? High Gravity is just a few miles from where I live so I'll save on shipping. I know that Screwy Brewer has the...

Gotta have it :ban:

I enjoy going to high gravity my LHBS all the personnel seem real nice and although I'm new to home brewing they take my questions very well and give me a answer to it. I enjoy shopping at the store it lets me look for things and gives me time out of the house. (I 'm retired)

got DIY STC 1000 for my fermenter but could use another for the other fermenter that I want to get.

Why not just make the whole 5 gal boil and then split into 2 different fermenters. us the yeast you were going to use in one bucket and get another yeast to see what the difference is in another bucket.

I'm a new brewer, just started brewing 2 months ago, wife got me a Mr. Beer kit and completed 4 extract kits> I then went to my LHBS and got a 5 gal. kit and split into 2 LBK's. It's a Vienna Lager so I just started to lower the temp to lager and have about 4 weeks to go before I bottle. Looking...
