    Switching to eBIAB and need help deciding on Kettle size

    I just switched to eBIAB for my 5 gallon setup. I went with a 15 gallon kettle, and glad I did. No issues with too little liquid to cover the element or too much grain that it overflows.

    Ss Brewtech 15 gallon Electric Kettle Conversion

    I had the same debate for nearly 2 weeks. It all depends on where your element end up after install. I had enough clearance on my case. Measure and measure again. You do not need a lot of clearance though. I have 1/2 inch. You can always buy the 3.5 inch standoffs and cut them down with an...

    I bought a used 1.25" Greenlee punch from eBay. Cost me $40, well worth it. Very easy to use.

    Ready to Buy and Would Like Some Last-Minute Input

    I personally went with a DIY version of the high gravity controller. I think you are looking at the right thing based on your needs. I really enjoy the single vessel system so far (2 brews so far.)

    Prospective new BIABer Questions

    I brew Hefes a couple time a year. I usually let them ferment 14 days then cold crash and keg. Or bottle and wait 3 weeks to condition and carb. It will take months for the Hefe to clear up a cold temps. I was sick of Hefes a couple years back after 3 brews in a row and this happened to me with...

    Show us your electric brewing rig

    I have everything for plumbed in the basement (drain lines). I already finished 600sq ft of my 1200 Sq ft basement. I am trying to figure out how to create a 3/4 bath and brew room (side by side). But I just spent $500 this year on brew equipment. Wife is not enthused by that.

    Show us your electric brewing rig

    Just got my eBIAB setup going. Right now it is in a garage and carrying everything up and down from the basement is a pain. Hope to someday be able to run this all indoors. Currently have a cheap controller, no bells and whistles here. I am sure I will build upon it over time.

    Home Depot 10 Gallon HLT and MLT conversion question

    I used a HD Cooler for my MLT for 3 years before moving on. I used the following to build my bulkhead and valve. I had to get a second washer to be able to close the valve fully. (Needed extra spacing) http://www.bargainfittings.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=47&product_id=252

    Electric Brewing Upgrade

    I almost went the HERMS but decided against it when I could not figure out what I would be gaining versus an eBIAB setup for a fraction of the cost. Went with one of wilser's bags and did my inaugural brew this weekend. Who knows I will get bored is years to come and try a HERMS setup. I...

    Finished my eBIAB recirculation setup. So excited to try it out. I ran a wet test today and everything is going great. I still need to come up with a slick way to spread the return wort. Anyone have any good ideas? Trying not to spend a lot on this feature right now. Here is a video...

    Auber SYL-2352 Temperature Jumping

    I am getting to the point of buying a new PID. Spent 3 hours yesterday debugging without success. Does the MyPin have manual control? This is for an eBIAB setup.
