    BIAB first timer

    Congrats on your first BIAB! A Citra smash sounds like a great way to test out new equipment. Depending on the grain you used, it will probably clear up in the fermentor.

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    Brewing a traditional sweet mead this weekend and hopefully a cider.

    What brand BIAB bag do you use?

    Another vote for @wilserbrewer. Top notch quality and it has lasted me so far for a few years. Only mistake I ever made with it was not cleaning it out immediately and finding a lovely surprise waiting for me after a week...

    One vessel vs. two

    We've been prototyping a one vessel basket system for a while and it has been great. The cool thing about brewing is you can customize your system to how you want to brew. Some people prefer to do biab and wrap the kettle to maintain the heat. Others might want to recirculate with heating...

    Top it off?

    I probably wouldn't top off as well depending on how short of a gallon you are.

    Keezer Died

    Glad I saw this thread. My keezer died a few weeks ago so now I'll have to check if this was the issue.

    First BIAB with free grains recommendations?

    Depends on the style, but somewhere around 10-15 pounds total for the entire grain bill should be good.

    First BIAB with free grains recommendations?

    Even though the grains are a little old, it would at least be good practice with a new brewing method. How many pounds of grain are you able to get? Wilserbrewer makes a great quality bag! I started out using the Home Depot paint strainer bags, and those work pretty well, but being able to use...

    Cleaning your Bag

    Whenever I have used a bag I just rinse it off with hot water and hang it up to air dry. One time I got lazy and didn't clean it right away which resulted in me coming back to a moldy mess. Never again...

    Wort Chiller

    Another +1 for the Hydra. It works great. If you are interested in plate chillers, Duda Diesel makes some great ones that chill super fast.

    What's your process for accurate BIAB mash temps?

    I'll start stirring before strike temp just to make sure there are no hot spots. I'll cut the burner a couple degrees below strike temp and let it slowly ramp up and then dough in. Depending on the setup, I would rather err on the low side because I can always crank the burner on and get it up...
