biab brewing

Hi community, I recently did a second hefeweizen brew with the only difference between the two being BIAB method compared to not, or standard and I got a significantly lower OG of 1.038 compared to first 1.048. What happened here.? Same everything. Same wheat/Pilsner batch as the first. What...

Has anyone tried BIAB in a gigawort?

I bought both items new within the last 6 months, but recently made decision to quit drinking. Both items are unused. I am in Los Angeles and prefer pick up at this point. Thanks- For Sale: Anvil 5.5 Gal Kettle = $90 SS Brew Bucket 3.5 Gal = $100 For those looking to do small...

Okay, you live in an apartment; But what if you don’t want to have to brew in the kitchen and hide away your toys afterward? What if you wanted to have a dedicated home brewery? That’s my case. We live in a flat. Luckily we have two restrooms – one is supposed to be a ‘guest’ restroom, though we...

Extract brewing can be achieved in a smaller kettle, and only steeping grains for color and flavor are needed (in addition to your malt extract). I’ve been brewing now for what I consider some time--around 2 years--but I’ve done many batches. I believe that’s where the experience comes and not...

I began my home-brewing career a little over a year ago and have to admit, I am completely hooked on the art and science of the craft. I am fortunate in that an ex-roommate of mine some years back was a keen brewer, allowing me to assist and enjoy the fruits of his labors. This provided me with...

Brew -in-a-bag (BIAB) is a full-volume, all-grain brewing process using a single kettle. The appeal of BIAB brewing to me is the great quality beer that you can make using a very simple process. In fact, if you stick with the basics, you could start brewing BIAB without ever brewing extract. So...

I, like many other home brewers, began my journey 9 years ago with a standard home brewing starter kit. I brewed only extract beers and infrequently at that. Later, I began to use steeping grains and spices, but my brewing remained very basic. My job, then and now, has required a lot of travel...

I started thinking about brewing indoors after my first brew, which happened on a pretty chilly Chicago winter night. I really enjoyed that brew day, and most of the brew days after, however I wanted a setup I could really call my own. After several nights browsing through electrical diagrams...

The beauty of brew-in-a-bag (BAIB) is its simplicity and great results you can get from this easy all-grain home brewing method. It's the natural "next step" that extract brewers can take to get their brewing to the next level. For those who don't know much about BIAB or all-grain brewing in...
