First BIAB

[greyghost]

Brewed my first all grain BIAB yesterday. All went well just a couple glitches. I didn't pay attention to the size of the grain bill it was for a 6 gal. batch and I normally brew 5. Kind of pushed my 8 gal. pot. Boiled 7 gal. without a boil over. Target OG 1.058 I hit 1.060. Yeast took off like crazy. Spouting out the air lock on my 6 1/2 gal. fermenter. One of these days I will to post some pictures of my set up. Dropped 2 degrees in 90 min. and it was 34 out side. Don't think I will be doing any more extract brewing.

Nice work with the first BIAB. Linked below is the Rackers Calculator,Can I Mash It? which is handy to easily figure total mash volume.

That's how it started for me; Although no-one in my area knew anything about it and it wasn't that well known on the talksites. After my first time, havent looked back...... Although now there is allot of interest in it within my brew club;
