I'm in the process of building my kettle for a small indoor electric BIAB setup - I wanted some input on the best kettle configuration before I buy parts. I have a 10gal kettle - I know that is way too small for some people, but I have actually been trying to go smaller and brew 3 gallon batches...

Hey guys, I am new to brewing. I have brewed one IPA before from a recipe pack but this time I wanted to do a smash because I want to learn the flavors of the hops and malts that go in it. As this is a experiment I wanted to do a small batch so if it does not turn out good I wont be too sad...

Hi, I'm happy to share my latest project with you. This control panel is a multipurpose brewing controller. It’s powered by 240V / 30 AMP and can run 2 pumps and a 5500-watt heating element. It has a mash/boil controller with integrated timer and buzzer. The AiONE controller does it all...

I've been brewing about a year now and want to do some controlled tests of different dry hops and yeasts. I want to split a batch three ways, and do something like the following: A- Yeast 1, Hop 1 B- Yeast 2, Hop 1 C- Yeast 1, Hop 2 I've got a 15-gal kettle/mash tun, and do BIAB. I want to...

I'm a new homebrewer and I made 4 batches by a BIAB method, English Pale Ale, APA, Blonde Ale (not belgian), and a Session IPA. All the batches presented a strong taste (or aftertaste) and a smell that is difficult to match to a typical off flavor but I think that tends to be a yeasty off...

I'm interesting in doing a 5 Gallon Batch of a hefeweizen. I just bought the grain as well a brewing bag to clamp over the sides. I know i need to not tie it off and clamp it so i can stir to avoid clumps. My question needs a little background I only have a 5 gallon kettle, If i was to make the...

I am trying to brew a German hefeweizen - it's my favorite kind of beer. I've been trying for about 2 years to get the brew I'm looking for. I love the banana clove bubble gum flavor in a good Hefe but can't seem to get anywhere close to it. So I am stumped. Every time it gets a weird flavor...

Doing a little clean-out and upgrading so I am getting rid of a few things. I am willing to ship everything below, but local pick-up and a drive within 90 miles or a good brewery ;) of 44004 is preferred. I was using the 5500 watt element on 120v (1375 watt draw). Also willing to trade for...

I did my first BIAB batch last week. So far I've been using the classic three vessel setup (HLT, mash tun, kettle) with good results, but I decided to give BIAB a try just to see if it's all it's cracked up to be. I brewed a simple blonde ale to start with. So far my experiences seem to confirm...

I'm selling this "BREW-IN-A-BASKET" Single vessel brew system as a whole (pot and basket) since the basket was custom made for the pot. The brew pot is heavy gauge SS with high quality ball valve and flame shield. This is the best setup for those into single vessel or BIAB brewing. The Stainless...

Hey guys, I am working on a budget eBIAB build, and am looking for some input from people who have brewed a lot with a similar system. Which interface components on the control panel are truly necessary? Do I need a buzzer? Do I need an element indicator light in addition to the light that is...

I have read some materials recently talking about people's recirculation methods actually seeming to be detrimental, not beneficial. So how do you build a kettle with a useful recirculation function? Where do you put the temperature probe? What device do you use to evenly distribute the...

So I just tried my first BIAB, and most everything went well, except for one thing: Even at full blast, my stove (electric) could only keep my kettle (6 gallons, mostly full) at a bare, slow boil. We're talking practically a simmer. I tried putting the lid (mostly), but that only did so...

I am building a BIAB electric brewery and I want to use this pump as a re-circulation pump. http://greatbreweh.com/Beer_Pump.html I need to be able to control the pump using 12v PWM and this pump seems to have an internal controller. I have tried to contact them to ask if this is possible...

I found posts like these super helpful when i was planning this thing, so thought I'd share. Was doing a sloppy kettle/cooler mash tun/immersion chiller setup for the past several years and wanted to upgrade to something leaner, faster, easier to wash and store, and more reproducible without...

For the last year or so I've been debating about getting a new brew kettle (10 gallon, to be used for 2-6 gallon batch sizes either with single-vessel BIAB or cooler MIAB), and I have gone back and forth about remaining with a propane-fired kettle or moving to an electric system. I really like...

Hello, I finally decided to try some adjuncts with my last brew (a Nut Brown). I chopped and scraped 2 vanilla beans, soaked them in vodka for a week, added all of it to primary, and let is it for another week. At bottling it smelled strongly of vanilla and tasted medium to medium-high on the...

Hey guys, I have been brewing for a couple of years, but am looking to make some changes in the way I do things. I am currently planning on going to smaller batches (I currently do partial mashes with 4-5lbs of grain), because I don't drink my brews super quickly, and it would also enable me to...
