Can't wait to hear the results, What type of brew?

Material for the bag I am assuming :) I went to JoAnne Fabrics and bought Voile (French for Vail) material. It is a fine nylon mesh material, like a really fine fishnet, really a curtain, ha. Also bought some Bulky Nylon thread for sewing it together. Here is an online source for the...

If you have any tips/pointers they will be gladly accepted!

Ha, I have enough material to make 4 or 5 of the bags. I was thinking of making them and putting them up on ebay or something because you cant find them anywhere. This one is a "working prototype". The next one will have some grommets and stuff on it perhaps.

Doing my first BIAB this weekend. I have been brewing for about two years and have only done all grain using three vessels (never have done extract brew). I mash in a 5 gal Gatorade cooler (false bottom), batch and sometimes hand fly for sparge. I use my brew pot as the hot liquor to gravity...

Hi everyone, I brewed an all grain Chimay Red clone 5 weeks ago. 1.081 OG then moved into a secondary at 1.017 10 days later. I used invert sugar to achieve the gravity, not cane or corn. Sat in secondary for almost 4 weeks. I bottled today, but took a 1/2 gallon and force carbonated...

It may be time to abort the secondary for a few batches and see what happens. If I go conical on the fermentator I may still blow the bottom out after the gravity gets close however. The last one (porter using London yeast) I did just 14 days in primary then into bottle. Tried at 4 weeks...

It seems, especially with high gravity, we are very concerned with getting off the trub after two weeks (or after we are near target gravity). Isn't the same thing going on when we bottle condition? Couldn't autolysis happen to the yeasties at the bottom of the bottle as well?
