I have been doing 5-10 gallon BIAB now for a couple years now with great success! Now its winter here in Ontario and it's freezing out so I want to bring the brewing inside. I have a 13.5 Euro keggle that i have been using, I want to add a 240v element to it so I can stay inside, like this...

I'm pretty sure he asked for a recipe.

Just use a food safe bucket. When I was using my turkey fryer for 5 Gallon recipes I just used as much mash water as I could fit in the pot with the grains. Then after the boil I would top up in the fermenter with water, only time I had low eff was when the grain had a poor crush.

This worked out at 85%, that's as high as I want it to go! It wasn't hot water it was boiling water to replace what has already been boiled off, since there is only so much room in the kettle.

The voile is a very tight weave, I used a thick polyester thread. I set the sewing machine to the tightest stitch and made two rows ow stitching. If you double over the material at the seam before sewing it would be even stronger! Maybe the problem with your material is the color, LOL!

The biggest concern you should have is not the airlock, it's that you haven't started that second batch yet! It doesn't tend to last very long around here.

I made one myself out of some pink voile that was on clearance at fabricland made 2 for $3! The Pink was the selling point for me LOL!

I wanted to try a 10 Gallon BIAB but I only have a 13.5gallon Keggle, problem! I figured it was going to be a PITA but I'd give it a shot. I used this recipe, https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/centennial-blonde-simple-4-all-grain-5-10-gall-42841/ And this is the way I did it. I added 11 gallons...

Just kick the heat on once and a while!

What are you using for a pot? I never had a problem with my aluminum turkey pot but my ss keggle a couple times I added my grains 152 came back 5 mins later 162 shiet, get the ice! Stirring a couple of degrees before your strike temp is the best solution, but have some ice on hand just in case.

The brand name one.

I used the us-05 and the nottingham both and preferred the nottingham because with my ac on right now it's 65 in my basement. The nottingham seems more crisp than the us-05 which seems to have more of a sweet floral flavor.

I'm a proud Canadian! Our speed limit is 140kph, it's 26 degrees out right now and we measure our beer like this! Good, Not so good, and Not good at all!!

This was a 5 gallon batch 6lbs 2row, 1.5lbs flaked corn, 1.5lbs minute rice, .5oz Williamette, .5oz crystal and nottingham yeast.

BIAB 75% efficiency gets you this, thanks to Jason at Ontario Beer Grains! I used nothing to clarify this! And yes that is only chill haze, check out the bottom of the glass.

This is what happens when you biab cream of three crops using Ontario Beer Grains with no irish moss, no whirlpool, and no worflock. Perfect, clear beer with 75% efficiency!

Ya, that crush sucks!

Is this where I'm supposed to hide from the cooler loving BIAB haters? Wow don't praise BIAB on the open forum or you could get knifed! LOL..

Awesome! :mug:

Watch for boilovers, 8gal pot is a little small for 5gal batches.
