Yes another EBIAB build.
I have been extract brewing for almost 4 years now and I think its time to take the jump to Allgrain.
To make things 'simpler' ill use a BIAB system (that i build) to brew.
I like that its simple (one kettle for all), and has less explosive potential.
This thread will hopefully document my progress.
Timeline is 'quick' I am getting married in Sept (6 months)and need to brew 6 or so batches before then. A big problem is that I will be away for 6 weeks before, and wont have have time to finish after I get back. a few other events bring my total time to get this project complete and brew a few test batches to 15 weeks. I have previously done some research and started making a parts list.
Budget: student. But I think I can get about profit $400 out of some corney kegs I picked up recently, and I have other money to spend, I know ill need to. I dont need name brand parts, but wouldn't mind them. I have scrap wire and a few terminals and connections at work that I can use (I hope).
Knowledge: I have you guys, so im good there! But I also know how to weld, and fix various mechanical and electrical devices, so it will hopefully go smoothly.
I have 220 available, and even have 480 3phase at work, but I think that 3 phase would knock this out of my price range, as well as limit my brewing locations.
First step will be getting a sankey keg as my kettle.
Wish me luck, and hopefully this is a smooth 15 weeks!
