eBIAB Univessel?

[Piruz]

Hi! I bought a stainless steel fermenter/brew kettle/mash tun.

They said, this can be used in induction cooker. Haven't tested yet, but I would like to hear your opinion, if I could use this vessel in a univessel brewing. So mash in a bag, then drain, boil, chill and ferment in same vessel. Any negative points? How about trub? Should I try to remove it somehow?

Thanks for all advices.

Where did you buy this? I'd like to look at the features before commenting.

I don't do BIAB. So I can't comment to that. I supposed it would work as brew kettle and a fermentor, It has all the features to do both jobs.

Looks like home a distillers dream though...

I guess the only downside would be batch size...or not.
Seems they don’t ship to the US either?

Well I do small batches, and they had 30 liter (about 8 gallons) pot too.

And yes, they ship only to EU. I'm not sure about manufacturer, but I got mine yesterday and it feels pretty amazing for less than 80€ (100 dollars).

Only thing that I have to fix is make second hole bigger for my thermowell, but if I wouldnt need that, then it would be perfect to use right away.

The downside would your brew pot is tied up until your fermentation is finished. Also, when I dump the wort from the kettle to the fermenter, it gets aerated. I don't use buckets as fermenters, but if I did, I can get a food grade plastic bucket for $2.50. For me, I don't really see an advantage of brewing and fermenting in the same vessel.

Less cleaning, and I only do one batch at time, so that isnt issue. I do have a plastic bucket, but wanted SS fermenter because it's easier to clean and odors doesnt stick in it.

And besides my fermenter chamber cant fit 2 fermenters at same time, so I'm tied to brew one batch at a time anyways.

Is this thing insulated?
