I ended up using this. Works very well, but unfortunately OOS right now.

FWIW, I got this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VXHKMC/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 with weldless fittings for bulkhead/ ball valve, sightglass/thermometer, and diptube from Bobby M and bargain fittings. Everything came out to right around $200 and seems to work great so far for 5 gal BIAB.

I'm curious, what makes people leave and what makes people come back? I took a couple years off when I lived in a condo/apt, then came back when we bought a townhouse. Is this similar to most or are there other reasons?

Just awesome. I wish NB was still my LHBS :( FWIW, I just ordered my first all grain kit from NB and specifically asked for double crush for BIAB. Wasnt sure about the crush (not that I have anything to compare to) so I crushed some by hand with a rolling pin. 75% efficiency on the first go...

Just curious, why the autosiphon instead of using the spigot? Love the pic btw.

I think the OP is having a hard time acquiring Star San in Czech Republic

How big is that BK? It doesnt look very big for a 6.5 gal boil. You would want at least a 9 gallon kettle to be comfortable. Maybe it is just the perspective in the photo?

+1. Quite a ways outside the city, but an awesome brewery. Dreadnaught IIPA is amazing.

You surely meant 3 weeks right? You don't want Revvy coming up in here and laying the smack down. Especially after the "my beer tastes green" thread gets dropped. Just kidding of course. I (and probably all of us) have to try all our beers from Day 0 and weekly thereafter, right? It's...

Thanks for the responses. Schumed, I did start using 1 gal paint strainers as hop bags (not quite the same as a spider, I know, but similar theory) on the last batch. This helped immensely, but still left a little behind. So I'm wondering if that little will clog the diptube. Cl, thanks for...

I'm building a new kettle (bayou classic SS 44 qt) with fittings from bargain fittings and Bobby M. I ordered the weldless 3-pc ss ball valve with compression fitting and diptube from Bobby. I'm wondering about a screen for the diptube. I use a mix of whole leaf hops and pellet (but mostly...

Definitely in for this. Thanks sponsors.

Thanks. Everything was fine. Stopped after 10-15min. It reached the 180F range in about 40-45 min and boiled at 65-70 min. Hopefully that will be practical.

Just got a new SS 44qt bayou classic kettle to hopefully upgrade to BIAB. We have a pretty powerful gas stove, so I wanted to give it a test run with some water. I filled the kettle about 2/3 full of water and put it on the stove on high. It had some weird small amounts of condensation coming up...

Would've gone better bottle instead of glass and bought an IC much, much sooner.

So, like dreimer, I'm also planning to build an MLT to start doing AG. I've been trying to do a lot of research (mostly flyguy's DIY here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/cheap-easy-10-gallon-rubbermaid-mlt-conversion-23008/). Also wondering about ss braid vs false bottom. Would likely be...

Just reading back through this old thread. Funny that most people didn't read the original question. Anyway, the batch turned out great.

Less of an issue once fermentation is done and alcohol is in the mix. I think...

So we're all mature enough to note the title of this thread and not make any snide comments?? Just curious...
