My measure of success is not burning the house down, so I should be good without tips. Hopefully.

I am about to do this recipe as my first AG BIAB (full volume mash) brew. Any tips from having done this via BIAB before would be appreciated. It seems like a pretty straight forward method and recipe but I figured I would ask somebody who has done the exact same thing I am about to do. Thanks.

Congrats on your first brew!

Lots of useful info. Thanks guys.

I bought the pot pretty much after I posted since they showed only one available at the $58 price. After I bought they jacked the price up. Hopefully it works well. looking to get into BIAB.

Sounds good. I will probably add some fittings down the line then. Thanks for the feedback.

Could I just drill later?

Does anybody have any experience with this kettle. Looking to buy this for BIAB. Seems like a good deal. It was $58 when I bought it (I just noticed they changed the price). http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MIA5OQK/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

Tried another bottle at 3 weeks conditioning and it tastes significantly better. A lot of the excess sweetness has gone and the hops are shining more. I'm good with the way it tastes now but I suspect a little more time conditioning will make it even better.

I finally tried a bottle of my clone after two weeks in the bottle and it was too sweet (carbonation level was fine though). I will pop another one in the fridge tomorrow (at 3 weeks in the bottle) and see how its tasting since Ive read a week or two of extra conditioning can make a big...

I bottled last night. I had been a little worried because my hydro readings were tasting a little too sweet, but last nights sample after cold crashing and right before bottling tasted excellent. Makes me optimistic. There were a few things that didn't go as planned that make me a little...

I bottle but I figured there would still be enough yeast left after cold crashing.

I already added my second round of DH. Do you think I should pass on the cold crash? My hydrometer readings have been pretty cloudy. I assume a lot of it is hops as I have read that WLP007 is a highly flocculating (?) yeast but I think some of it might also be starches from steeping the honey malt.

Cool. Took a hydro reading and added the second round of Citra. Hydrometer reading stayed the same.Will let sit for a day before cold crashing. The hydrometer sample tasted a little better today although I did get a hint of what I hope is the honey malt and not diacetyl. I suspect it is mainly...

I would be at 11 days tonight and I was planning on cold crashing for 3 days before bottling. I just didn't know if cold crashing right after adding the DH was a good idea or if I should let the hops on the room temp bucket a day or two first.

Actually this was ver helpful to me. A few nights ago I tasted a hydrometer sample of my beer (a pseudo sue clone) and it tasted too bitter and too sweet at the same time. It was barely at 8 days in primary, so I am hoping that both flavors will mellow out. I am hoping to cold crash in a few...

So I am planning on taking another hydro reading tomorrow night and if if the numbers haven't moved I am going to add the second round of DH. I was thinking of cold crashing right after doing this but am wondering if there is any reason should wait?

Cool. I guess I will wait and see. Awesome. Actually Braufessor was really generous and hooked me up with a bottle of Pseudo along with some other great beers including some his homebrew. That being said I would love to have another bottle of pseudo to be able to do side by sides with at...

After 8 days in the primary I finally took a gravity reading and added my first round of dry hops. The beer is at 1.014. I tasted the sample and it tasted both a little too bitter and a little too sweet. I am guessing that the excess bitterness was because the hop particles are still in...
