Brewed my first all grain today. It was one of the 3 gallon BIAB kits from NB. I used my 7.5 gallon turkey frying pot to mash in and it worked very well. I had a little trouble holding a steady temp, but I expected that because I didn't insulate it and the pot was too tall to fit in my oven. Had...

Thanks for all the help. From everything I have read or watched, I'm just going to sprinkle on top. Thanks for everyone's input! My first all grain brewsday!

Today I am brewing a 3 gal BIAB kit from NB and this will be my first time using dry yeast. My question is do you just simply sprinkle it on the wort and don't stir/shake or do you want to stir it in an aerate then?

I have a 7 gallon bucket as well, just thought I'd ask. I do have a swamp cooler and all the necessary equipment, just wanted to see if I could have two going at the same time.

Im brewing up the CDA BIAB kit from NB this weekend and I would like to use my 5 Gallon carboy to ferment in. Is this going to be enough room or am I asking for a definate blow out?? Thanks for the help!

Has anyone used the fermentation cooler from cool brewing?? If so, what'd you think?

Is it that time already? I am planning on brewing up a DFH Punkin Ale clone very soon, is it the appropriate time? Also, anyone have any good Xmas ale recipes for All Grain? This is truly my favorite time for beers!!

I ordered the kit from NB. I doubt they will do a double crush. Oh well, I'm sure it will turn out good!

Just bought a CDA kist from NB. This will be my first attempt at all grain and I am pretty excited. Any tips for a first time BIAB? Add a little more grain? Ph?

I was looking at the new 3 gallon BIAB kits from NB and they suggest to do a 170* mash out for 10 mins.

Does beer smith or ibrewmaster have the capability for doing BIAB?

What is the qt of water/lb of grain ratio for BIAB? I am interested in doing 3 gallon batches.

If you are worried about anything getting in after you take the airlock off before moving it, sanitize some aluminum foil, place it on top and fold it around the neck. It's not airtight, but it keeps most of the critters out.

Thanks. I did search, but I'm on my iPad and the search function brings up no good search results.

Anyone have an Irish Death clone recipe? All Grain or Extract?

I know people put valves on stainless pots, but has anyone put one on an aluminum pot? I would think it would be possible, just wondering what are some pros or cons.

Thanks for all the info. Does anyone use the 10 gallon for a MLT and a 5 gallon for a HLT??

What are some limiting factors when using a 5 gallon MLT vs a 10 gallon? I am considering venturing into all grain and I was just comparing prices of the two coolers. I could buy two 5 gallon coolers for the price of one 10 gallon.
