I have a friend who is about to buy a 3 bbl BIAC system. (Brew in a conical)
I have read lots of positive words about the smaller BIAC systems.
I have also read about the jacket failure due to possible pressure/vacuum issues.
I have never used a BIAC system myself, so I am hoping for some feedback from some advanced brewer(s) if possible.
This vessel has a big dead space in the cone, so no super high gravity beers, but that's OK with him.
I keep reading that water to grist ratio is very important. Any issues with water chemistry? Our water here is pretty soft, so we can adjust it if needed.
Also, it has a big 12 foot winch frame to hoist out the colander, so it won't fit under his big beautiful range hood. We will be trying to come up with ideas for ventilation.
