i've got one. shoot me a PM if interested..

I'll take one.

...but you love Connecticut! :-)

While this is indeed true, a higher SG also LOWERS the specific heat by a measurable amount. So it takes a slightly higher temperature to reach boiling, but you need to apply less heat to get there so it's easier to boil wort than water.

This seems like a fantastic deal, right? I'm nowhere near chicago so i am not in the market, but from what i've seen on some other systems the price seems right for someone to snatch it up.

Most believe that tannins are not extracted from the modest pressure similar to a lid pressing on the grain. On milling finer, the point of the BIAB is that it contains all the grain throughout the mash so no worries of clogging. Your wort will probably be a little more cloudy than wort that...

I hear where you're coming from, OB. I'd have to say this post has a bit different tone than the prior 2 and it is nice to have suggestions from some with a lot of experience. I see you haven't posted here all that often, so you may not be aware that a lot of the folks on here are very...

What should i do if i cant read????!!!! :tank:

ditto question on IC and mash tun. you can PM me if you have the space. Thx!

Wowsers. I thought any old dope like me could brew tasty beer. :( Guess i'm gonna have to take up another hobby. :drunk:

Is that your stuff Beau?

im sort of exploring both methods as well. advantage of 3 vessel seems to me to be no lifting and draining of the bag, which is a bit cumbersome, especially for bigger than 5 gallon batches. i think clarity is generally not as good in BIAB as you don't have the grain bed filtering. those...

Does carapils leave residual sweetness like a crystal (C40 or 60)? I like to add it for head retention, but i wonder if i am "doubling up" on crystal malts by having crystal and carapils in there. For example, if i went 93% base 7% carapils is that going to have a similar taste to...

why on earth would you even want to brew something like that?

I think most folks who do this (MrAverage being at least one exception) mash in and then go to bed with no mash-out. So temp starts in the 150's and finishes down around 140 by the next AM.

you bet

Short answer is because you only need 1 kettle to BIAB.

I've wondered something similar. I know the braid or manifold is overwhelmingly popular. But with the advent of BIAB, it seems that it would be just as easy to still use a cooler for MLT, but just use a paint strainer or similar bag in the MLT and forget about the braid or manifold. Still use...
