So the full three gallons would be to boil the grist, I strain then boil and add hops as prescribed in the recipe. I should start the yeast at least a day or two. Before brew day, I do a dry run to be sure everything is in order and then brew day comes I should be gtg. Am I missing a process...

Anyone else have anything?

Thanks Stan I was going to grab beersmith as it comes recommended...:ban:

Ok so a few more questions before I drop a dime, I'm looking at getting a 5g pot for full boil to get the small batch brew done. For you small batchers or those who have done this before what has been the typical range of water for boiling the grain? If what the earlier poster said full vol was...

My next question would be, do all recipes for clones and such layout the ingredients for you? I noticed you had your sheet there based on your research.

Torbanac, thank you your the third small bather I've met that has done it that way. I will go that route I be buying my stuff next month for my first BIAB

So based on what I've read from most of you, I would be good getting a 6-8 gal pot, good size carboy, thermometer, hydrometer, bag and a good heat source and I'll be set to do at least 5 gal or less batches for bottling. Would it better to keg this small of a batch and just tap it?

I can tell:rockin: I wish I can do more, but my medication regime prevents me from going any bigger and I don't want to waste good beer ya know? If I drink to much brew I'll literally go into liver failure lol. So I can only drink 2 or three every 4 or five days and even then I pushing it...

To your credit I looked over the no sparge BIAB, thanks for the heads up, I guess from there I just need to read the recipes correctly and match the numbers as best as possible. Both methods I've read are pretty cool. I know the LHBS in Raleigh has classes so I'll go to one when I move there...

Based on this thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/1st-biab-if-i-can-you-can-309912/ And many others in this section and others this seems like a pretty simple process my few questions for you guys who AG brew. Right now small batching is the most productive thing for me to do,however...

Wow what a great post, these AG techniques makes me even more confident that I can do it. I'm so new that I got the fresh car smell. But I figure if I read the stickies and the threads like this I can make it happen.

Well yeah it doesn't see to hard after looking at the AG stickies I think it would be worth a shot

Alright I'm compiling some notes for this so I need some help on the direction I need to go and quick tips. I'm going to get the cooper kit as suggested,mi like the fact it had everything,. I'm also going to add reading materials to my already huge list ( got reloading books on tap) any...

Thank you for the replies I already feel at home! Can't wait for you guys to see my brews

Jeez wtf do you do for a living!? That's a pretty sweet deal you got going that's when you know you love doing what you do

Dang! Nice room. I hope to do something similar for my reloading so I can keep it locked up and away. Good job

I never made an intro, My name is Shawn currently active duty with the warrior transition battalion Ft Riley KS. Before I got injured I was with the oldest most decorated ngineer unit in the army, the 1st engineer battalion. Deployed twice to Iraq, looking for the ever so fun IEDs:rolleyes...

Any particular 5 gal kits or something I should look into?

Thank you guys for the replies. Varmint I return your salute:mug:

I liked all the chuck Norris jokes in the bathrooms while at training awsome stuff.
