I'm the same way. I have no problem turning my bag inside out and hosing it down but for some reason I feel the need to scrub my 10 gallon mash tun cooler with pbw, as well as the false bottom and hoses and the container I use to Vorlauf.... Oh how I miss vorlaufing too.....

I'm about to push my BIAB to the limits this weekend. When I originally wrote this post I had brewed a modest dry Irish stout with around 9 pounds of grain. No problem lifting the bag out and letting it drain in my drip bucket. Well I plan on brewing an imperial stout Saturday and pitching it...

So my girlfriend and I started home brewing about 6 months ago. We have about 8 batches under our belt. I wanted to share with you how I've made my way back to brew in a bag. We in fact started with BIAB. Our first batch was actually a kit from NB, Jakes CDA (I'm so fortunate that my first...

Ah ok thanks everyone. Ya I've been running this wide open throttle for 90 seconds so maybe I'm just draining the bottle? I see a lot of bubbles on top of the wort... I should throttle back to where I barely see any bubbles?

Hey everyone! I have a question for those of you who inject pure oxygen into your wort. I Just started doing this on my last batch with a 1.4 oz bottle from Home Depot. I went to go use it this morning to aerate and found out it was EMPTY after only one use. Figured it didn't seal right or...

Thanks guys. So heres another question. If I do the second step tomorrow with 1 liter. Can I wait to brew on Friday? Is it possible to leave a starter on the stir plate for too long?

Damn you guys are quick haha love this forum! It's a 5 gallon ESB at 1.052. I'll be doing BIAB. So is there any harm by adding another liter to the yeast slurry tomorrow?
