I took 20 years off, too, then got back in about year and a half ago. The last brew day was same day my wife found out pregnant with the now 21 year old ;). Had to start all over and I went for BIAB. Got a 10 gallon Spike Brew Kettle, a bag from BrewinaBag, a 3500 watt induction cooker and do 5...

Depends on how creative you want to be. Many years ago - see pic - circa 1995. I did 5 gallon all grain full boils in the kitchen on the stove - but I used two kettles (aka "pots") and two burners :). Sometime after that I got a King Kooker propane stove and a bigger kettle (aka big pot) and...

Thanks to this thread I just ordered the stainless steel Pluto Beer Gun.

I think you'll be fine with one "smack pack." at OG 1.047/5.5 gallons. I've done several that way.

I’ve had it about a year and a half - about 35 batches. Been great!

Looks great! I have that same Mai Cook induction plate and a Spike kettle too. Use it in garage also and can be doors open or closed.

HB American Lager. Really liking this one. Turns out 6 weeks of lagering can make a difference to lagers 😜. Too bad that I rarely have the patience!

My American Lager.

Bottling! Bottled Amber lager, Exprort Alger and Belgian Dubbel

Transferred wort at about 80F into fermentor. Connected glycol to coil. Set temp control to 65F, glycol is running. All is well. Pitched yeast when temp was reading around 68F - about ambient. Slight problem - I did not put the temp probe into the fermentor. So it kept chilling and chilling...

Because I am INCAPABLE of waiting for beer to properly age/condition, this is a HB dubbel I kegged YESTERDAY. It's flat and cloudy, but not bad - LOL. I'm sure (I hope) everyone here can identify :p

I was "off" from 1999 - 2019. Big changes I noticed that are great: - Online everything - Star San - BIAB

Have fun. Pics or it didn't happen!

I have a 10 gallon BK. 13.8 inch diameter. I have a Mai-Cook induction cooker - 3500W. In the US, it uses a 240V plug. The plate is a little wider than the kettle. It brings 7.5 gallons of wort at about 150F to boiling in 20-25 minutes and maintains a good rolling boil. That's not as fast as...

Those Acco clips and bag look very familiar!

Mashed in. 12:15 Friday - it's brew-o-clock somewhere! Pushing my BIAB limits - 14 lbs of grain, 8.5 g water, 10 g pot. NEIPA IPA go-to of mine

Black Lager. I took a porter recipe I used many times and did it as a lager with Wyeast Bohemian Lager. Have done it twice - definitely repeatable. Yum. Just found 2 bottles I didn’t know I had so they had an extra 3 months of lagering and it was even better than remembered. Time to make another...

Fun off topic fact -40F is same as -40C

What others said. I do BIAB. Just mashed in half an hour ago with strike water at 157F, grain probably 72 ish. 12 pounds of grain in 8.5 gallons of water in a 10 gallon kettle is pretty close to the top. Initial temp 154. Wrapped in reflection insulation blanket and a moving blanket. I'll leave...

Just mashed in. Making my "American Export Lager."
