Yes, those were kind of my thoughts as well, I have read a lot of posts for BIAB systems and experiences, and the only one that comes to mind that recirculated was that e-system, and yes... it was temperature controlled. So if it doesn't really add to efficiency, then I don't see the point since...

Finally getting ready to order what I need for my BIAB set up. I did see a thread on an eBIAB system where a pump was added to circulate the wort during the mash and mash out. Of course, I believe anyway... that this is to help increase efficiency and to help maintain even temps throughout the...

When heating up the water for the mash, with the basket in the kettle, and the grain bag ready to go... do you think that the water in the 3" space between the bottom of the basket and the kettle will have (generally speaking) a big temperature variation? Or would I not need to worry about it...

Good to know, I'll order my pot and basket today. Found the combo online for $99 with free shipping! Not a bad deal.

Yes, I think a pick up tube would be in order. Is this something like what you described with the 90 degree bend? Will that pull well with a siphon, and do you dismantle it to clean before every brew? Just thinking about the threads...

Okay...so I am reading reviews on the SS Bayou kettles, and there have been some complaints about them cracking, developing pinhole leaks, the handles (riveted vs welded), and the metal being too thin... causing them to warp/crack under high heat. Has anyone who has used these pots have this...

Thank you for the sound advice. You helped to put me in perspective, because I do agree, I will most likely do 5G batches as well, so I might as well get the best size for that. I guess everyone makes what they have work, and that is a good thing. I , fortunately have access to 20G pots (and...

Thanks everyone for your input. I have decided that I will go ahead and just get a 10 gallon pot, and maybe a pot/basket combo (11 gallon Bayou). I'm new at this, and figure I just need to leave my lofty thoughts of 10 gallon batches aside for now, until I know what I am doing... and until I get...

Thanks for the input! I guess my original question was a little unclear. I am figuring I absolutely need at least a 15 gallon pot for 10 gallon boils, heck, 15 gallons might even be pushing it considering the total volume of liquid needed. I guess what I really need to know is if that 44 quart...

I like it. Is that a 10 gallon Blickman (on the original post)? What suggestions does anyone have in terms of basket and brew pot for 10 gallon batches. I'm thinking a 20 gallon pot, but don't know about the basket. Would that Bayou Classic model B144 be large enough to hold the grain bill for a...

Hi, I'm getting ready to purchase a kettle and basket for my BIAB set up. I plan on starting with 5 gallon batches (since I am new at this), but I also know myself and my friends, I will be jumping to 10 gallon batches once I get the hang of it. Is there such a thing as the perfect set up for...

Completely new to home brewing. I haven't bought any equipment yet, but will be jumping in soon. I'd like to meet/participate in brewing with other brewers in the area to learn what I can from someone with experience. My son and I want to jump straight in to AG, and skip concentrates. Not that...
