BIAB works a lot better...

When you put the bag in before the grains. Frack, I've got a long night ahead of me.

Brewing & Friday. It's a good night. Jealous, and best of luck mate.

I'm enjoying my Abita and a comfy bed.

Clearly you haven't consumed enough homebrew tonight. It really is vital to the brewing process.

Its called Brewing in a Bag for a reason!

 

[Homercidal]

The acronym can be misleading. BIAB *could* mean, "Brew In A Bag", or it could mean, "Bag In A Brew".

A wise man would know what to do...

As it turns out it wasn't a complete disaster. I had to dig out a couple of pots and drain into those after mashing, clean out my main pot then dump in and continue on. I had a spare burner so I used that to keep one pot of wort hot while I cleaned quick. I have a false bottom in my kettle so there was actually little grain in my wort.

If it makes you feel batter, you're not the only one to forget the bag for BIAB. I once started a batch and minutes before I was set to dough in I realized my bag was being used to hold strawberries for wine in a fermenting bucket.

 

[Hello]

You're so cool that you need no bag for BIAB!

Glad it wasn't a total failure.

You invented a new style of brewing: BIA?

Maybe Australia will soon be copying Wisconsin

It may be a new style but should be destined to die a quick death.
