biab

Hi All, I've been a lurker for a long while, but it's time for a post. I recently converted from extract brewing to BIAB. I've done four batches so far (fourth is sitting in the fermentor), and they have each suffered the same fate. I have hit OG each time, or close to it, but I end up only...

I have a PH question on BIAB. I brew mostly blonde beers and PH seems to be a challenge with BIAB. I use brewers friend. A recipe with 9 lb German - Extra Pale Premium Pilsner Malt 1 lb German - Vienna 0.5 lb Belgian - Biscuit 0.25 lb German - Melanoidin 1 lb Belgian Candi...

So I got a bag for my cooler b/c it just seemed like a better all-around idea than Bazookas, false bottoms, or manifolds. Now, I want to know what’s NOT GOOD about it, and why I might want to change to something else in the future. I want to become a professional - not just a hobbyist - so I’d...

Looking at building a mini BIAB system to test recipes; my goal is to make either 1 or 2.5 gallon batches. I want to augment this design I saw on Short Circuited Brewers on youtube to go on a gas stovetop. This is what I'm thinking so far: 3 Gallon SS pot from Amazon (with pasta basket) Stand...

Hello to all! I thought after many trial and error, frustration, and many "sentence enhancer" words, I would finally post my problem to see if anyone could help Dx my off flavor. First, I've been brewing for a number of years now from extract, partial, to all grain. I use a 16 gal pot with a...

They say the tilt is good to 185 degress F. I was wondering if anyone has tried using it in a RIMs Biab system? My thought is if you reach your target or are no longer gaining gravity points you can stop and start your boil. thoughts?

Look at this cloudy mess!!! I am playing with a lighter malt bill for a Pale Ale (8 lbs Pale, 2 lbs Munich 15L, 0.5 lbs White Wheat). I also recently started using Whirlfloc tablets vs using Irish Moss, and wow does that clear up the wort! I am still not sure if clear wort (or Whirlfloc/Irish...

I have a 3100 watt glass top stove burner and wanted to get into biab.from what I have seen with induction cook tops, electric 220 volt setups - I have plenty of wattage but I worry about that much weight on the glass top doing a 5 gallons batch. Anyone have any experience? I have a GE...

I am selling my complete All-grain BIAB setup Will sell piece by piece< but would rather liquidate it for an easy transaction. Include: 10 Gallon Igloo cooler with SS fittings, and Brew Bag to fit 10 Gallon Brew Kettle Multiple 5 and 6 gallon glass carboys with bungs and airlocks Brew pump with...

Hi All, Next weekend I am trying my first NEIPA brew, it'll be GF as I have Celiac, not sure if this will matter for my question. I just got my water profile results back from Wards. Here is the results. (all values are PPM) Sodium, Na - 35 Potassium, K - 3 Calcium, Ca - 37 Magnesium...

Hoping I can get some clarification into the new brewing rig that I recently built and setup. I will be using an all grain method. Here are some specifications: 2 Vessel K-Rims Electric Brew Rig: Two 15G Vessels - (1) contains the 5500W heating element (BK, HLT) and the other (2) operates as a...

I am getting ready to transition to all grain and have decided that eBIAB is the route that I would like to take (live in a 2nd floor apartment so I don't have anywhere I can brew outside, and love the simplicity of the one vessel system). I have found several threads to be helpful but had some...

This is my first attempt at a NEIPA. Also my first all grain recipe. All criticism is appreciated. Recipe is for single mash BIAB Infussion. NEIPA: OG: 1.068 FG: 1.017 ABV: 6.7% 12lb Pale malt 2lb raw wheat 2lb flaked oats 28 g Citra 12 Boil 5 min 28 g El Dorado 15.7 Boil 5 min 28 g...

Hi Everyone, I have at least 6 extract batches under my belt and I want to move to all grain brewing. I just can't decide on the best method since I don't have any experience with it. I will be making mostly IPAs and pale ales. I have a 10 gallon kettle with a thermometer, bazooka screen...

Hello gents, I have extract brewed for a while and never really had any issues. I recently stepped up to all grain brewing, BIAB method. I just brewed my first 2 BIAB brews. I used the formulas and hit pretty close to the 5.5 gal mark target. After finishing and the yeast has been pitched temp...

I'm looking at getting one of these systems to do ebiab brewing of primarily 5G batches and would like to hear feedback from folks who have owned either of the systems. I generally don't brew beers over 7-7.5% abv, so I don't have large grain bills generally and like the simplicity of the biab...

Hey Folks, I thought I'd share this with everyone as I think it would be useful to others out there that like to tinker. I had posted a long time ago about my eBIAB setup here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/windows-wpf-and-arduino-20-gallon-ebiab-build.644565/ I have gone a few...

Hi all, Soo, I have just been gifted some new equipment, I have an ACE 30l 2.5kw hot water boiler which has been adapted with a half inch ball tap and a false bottom. Plus a peco mash bucket which I plan for my sparge water. I want to make this recirculating for the mash with a 12v DC pump...

I'm considering adding a BIAB bag to my mash tun in my 3 vessel system (as a "fabric filter"). I am considering this to reduce stuck mashes, reduce grain getting under my false bottom, and to make mash tun cleanup a bit easier. I'm not interested in ditching my 3 vessel brewing system but...

I am still brewing extract recipes with specialty grains on the stove top with a 4 gallon kettle. Id like to start BIAB brewing but I am struggling to find info about my pot size and still accomplishing 5 and 5.5 gallon (in carboy) batches. Most recipes Ive done lately I have started with 3 and...
