biab

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...

Up for sale is my 5-12 gallon propane/electric complete brewing system. Three 16 gallon Bayou Classic kettles, controller, 2 pumps, stainless table, burner, all weldless fittings with appropriate Camlocks, Camlock hoses and ball valves included. Asking $1,000 and will also throw in the BIA...

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...

Hey guys. My dad and I are planning out our second annual Christmas season brew day. He's been home brewing for 2 years, and he got me started on it a year ago with a brew day when I was visiting him between Christmas and New Years last year. We both have been all grain brewing, BIAB style with...

Hi there, I've been following this forum for a while and I'd like to have your inputs and feedback as I'm considering the idea of launching an easy to use and affordable temperature/humidity/4-20mA controller with Wifi logging and cloud capabilities at an affordable price. DSC00054 by lbispo...

Taken from this site: http://www.bunkerbrewing.blogspot.com So here's a new experiment: an amber ale with only home-toasted grains. Referencing this site on home roasting grains, I roasted 1 pound of Gold malt, and one 1 pound of Amber malt. Here's the grain bill: Home-Roast Nestok...

Hi all, Im getting ready for my first All-Grain batch using the Brew-In-A-Bag method from down under (www.BIABrewer.info). I have pretty much all the required equipment for the process but am a little bit limited when it comes to hops. I only have Fuggles pellet hops for this first batch...

I've just started AG and after reading a bit decided to go BIAB for a little less equipment up front. I've been doing it a little bit modified though, since my 7.5 gallon kettle isn't quite large enough for a full 5.5 gallon BIAB batch. So what I do is mash in the bag with 5.5 gallons (and...

How critical is the volume of the sparge? Is there an accepted ratio to use? I'm trying to figure out how much grain I can work with.

I have started all grain 2.5 gallon BIB batches doing the same thing as below only with my water about split in half for both mash and BAG SPARGE (new term???) both done in the Gott cooler my question is :confused:how long do you let the bag sit in your sparge water before you pull it out and...
