    New BIAB setup. Ss brewtech or Spike? Utah Diesel or Arbor Fab?

    Yeah I think I have settled on spike because of the customization they have. You can get ports in any configuration you like which is nice. I'm going to go with a 20 gal kettle like I originally was thinking. The big concern was that with a kettle that size I wouldn't be able to do 5 gal batches...

    The SS brewtech 20 gal BME kettle has also caught my eye. It looks like the ports maybe low enough for a 5 gallon batch but I'm not sure the concave bottom would be work with a basket

    This is good to know, if I can comfortably do 5 and 10 gal batches that would be great. If I went with a 20 gal I think I would have to go with a spike kettle because they are the only ones doing side by side ports. The traditional vertical configuration would probably not keep the temp sensor...

    I moved to NC a few months ago, while it's cold now everyone says it doesn't last long. That is the down side of not going electric though and it is definitely a valid point.

    I have nothing against electric it just doesn't really tickle my fancy. I feel more badass making beer over a flame hahaha. it's like the difference between grilling a steak outside or putting it in the oven. Do they both work and result in eating delicious meat, of course. I just enjoy one...

    New BIAB setup. Ss brewtech or Spike? Utah Diesel or Arbor Fab?

    I'm personally trying to have my cake and eat it too with a 15 gal but I'm not sure my thought process is even valid. I want the ability to do 5 and 10 gal batches. I know that I wouldn't be able to do big beers at the larger volume but I don't want to go all the way up to a 20 gal and not be...

    That's interesting I will have to look into it more. I didn't see much customization on arbor fabs site like Utah. I'll investigate more.

    This is interesting, I was looking at their site this morning and did not see this. With solid sides you would have to recirc right? I wonder how you would hoist the top bucket?

    New BIAB setup. Ss brewtech or Spike? Utah Diesel or Arbor Fab?

    I'm not doing electric, I like the gas burner. I don't want to use a bag because I just feel weird about using a material like that in my beer. The basket also allows me to never worry about melting a bag and I can get away without a hoist. I will definitely keep in mind the hook positioning, I...

    New BIAB setup. Ss brewtech or Spike? Utah Diesel or Arbor Fab?

    I just got back into brewing and I am going to move from extract to BIAB (basket). I have been looking over my options for a couple weeks and tried going through some reviews but most of them are at least 2 years old so I'm sure somethings have changed. For example Spike says its the only one to...
