Hey there, I thought it would be cool to have a local thread on here. Might be useful for local info, trading, selling, equipment and such. I currently am moving to BIAB. Have been doing extract with steeping grains for about a year. Currently kegging beer instead of bottling. I have...

I liked the SN Devastation. A new Brewery called Fort Myers Brewery just opened a year ago here and they have a bad ass black IPA. They just did their 1 year and tapped 21 different beers Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Hey there, I have just moved to BIAB and purchased a new 16 gallon kettle. How in the heck do you set your equipment for this? There is also areas for mash, dead space, Lauder tun size. Anyone's expertise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Dustbow. I'll show a pic once I've got the kettle all set up. Pretty excited. Do you do normal hop additions with BIAB? I've read some people doing the bitters later in boil with whirl pooling and such. Not sure I really understand it. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I would like to get a counter flow chiller but don't want to spend the $$ right now plus I've read a few threads on here about whirl pooling with an IC and works fairly well. I think the idea is to keep whirl pooling when at pitching temp so the trub mounds in middle. I can't remember and...

+1 wilserbrewer. Your basically paying for the same pot with a very expensive weld. You could use that extra cash for more equipment. Then go buy a bag from wilserbrewer. Check Brew Hardware or Bargain fittings. Brew hardware sells the step bit you need for like $12. Easy! Sent from my...

Those pots seem ok but are out of stock. Says may have scratches and dents plus quality of lid is not good. I would go with concord but depends on your budget. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Thanks for the reply Dustbow. I ended up ordering the high port the other day from Brew hardware with a 14" dip tube. Does it seem to work better towards the bottom? My kettle is 17"tall and I will be doing 5 and 10 gallon batches. I was thinking about installing it so the dip tube is at the...

Thanks but I know the difference. Perhaps I should have clarified more. I just wanted feed back if anyone had one or the other and what seemed to work better. Do you have a tube or just a low port with valve? Before making holes in a kettle you better be sure which one you want first. The...

Hoping for a little feedback. I just bought a 16 gallon flat bottom kettle. It stands just shy of 17". I would like to set it up with whirlpool system with a pump. I found this website that offers a low port or high port for a output to whirlpool using a weld less bulk head. The idea is...

Sorry. Meant steeping. I use beer smith and think I input the liquid extract at 3.3 lbs instead of 3.0 lbs. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

I just upgraded my kettle. I went with the concord 60 qt. showed up today. Very solid pot for spending $67 plus shipping on ebay. I tossed around the bayou classic and spike brewing but all seemed really expensive and had their pros and cons. I found a unibit( step bit) on Ebay for $12...

This is my 2nd go at this beer. 1st one was spot on. I do full boils and this one came up short. OG was supposed to be 1.070 and came up at 1.060. I am not sure what happened. This is my 12th batch doing extract. I mashed at 155 for 30 minutes and then started my 60 min boil. I added 9lbs...

Great feedback. It sounds like the 15 gallon BK is the way to go. I see Bayou makes some BK. Anyone have a model or type that's better than the other??? Stock pots or their homebrew kettles?? I have a 5 gallon BK and could use this as well if needed. Ive got about 15 beers under my belt...

Hey everyone, I currently do extract beers, full boils and want to convert to BIAB. I would like to do full 5 gallon batches but be able do some big beers. I love IPAs. I have been looking at some BK but not sure what size to get and what kind. I also want to upgrade my burner and have a...

I have done 2 of their summer ales and DIPA. Was pleased with both. Usually the DME comes in plastic pouches and then LME in a plastic can. Products are decent. A lot of comments about thin mouth feel could be weather or not your doing full or partial boils. I would always recommend a...
