    Efficiency explained...?

    So I've brewed several batches, all extract and all from kits from my local HB store. They all turned out wonderful. I'm planning now on taking the next step and am going to start all grain by doing BIAB brewing for several batches (until I get comfortable with it and until I can afford a...

    New to BIAB, Burner / Heat source questions

    Just did my first BIAB batch on Monday. It was my first full volume boil and I attempted it on my kitchen stove. It quickly became apparent that the stove was not up to the task as it took over an hour to reach my mash temp and then again nearly an hour to reach boiling once the mash was...

    Stout Feedback

    I am about to take my new eBIAB setup for a spin this weekend. I am planning on a stout that will serve as a starter for an RIS. I love really chewy stouts, not thin and highly carbonated stouts. Although I'm not shooting for some super high ABV beer, I want a similar appearance and mouthfeel of...

    BIAB Electric Systems

    Hey all, due to space limitations I am considering moving over to a BIAB system vs a all grain multi cooler setup I currently have.

    Recirculating eBIAB Questions

    I have been very happy with my eBIAB setup to date. I have decided to upgrade my system with a pump to recirculate during the mash and whirlpool, and have a few logistical questions that I cannot seem to find the answer to. 1. When you are done with the mash, do you leave the wort in the lines...

    Hop Filter Necessary with CFC?

    I am almost done with a 10 gallon eBIAB build, and I am wondering if I need to use a hop spider or not. I own one of the stainless mesh baskets that hang from the side of the kettle, but I would have to modify it to be able to keep my lid on for my steam condenser. I have only once had issues...

    Moving to 10 gal electric--should I consider induction or just stick w/ heating element?

    The more I read, the more attracted I am to simplify and go with a single pot, eBIAB system (I was thinking RIMS before). Now that I'm looking at options I see that a 3500W 240V induction plate (something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016XY88AA/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20)...

    Wood Brew Stand Top

    I am getting close to finishing my single vessel BIAB. I bought some nice plywood for my stand top, but I want to be able to seal it to prevent any spills or liquid from damaging it. Is there any sort of heat resistant clear coat I could spray over it? Thanks
