Hello,
My reason for posting here is to get some wisdom, including but not limited to what equipment I will need for my first BIAB session. I drink a lot of beer and want to start brewing what I want to drink while being as economical as conveniently possible.
Looking to brew BIAB after Christmas, 5 gallons initially and then hopefully in 10 gallon batches. My first step has been to take an inventory and figure out what I need moving forward. Maybe this time next year, I will be working on a draft tower setup.
As a bit of background, I have mixed up and dispensed quite a few batches of apfelwein, but have limited experience with brewing beer. My first batch will be Edwort's Haus Pale Ale
Inventory
1 Turkey fryer
1 basket
1 7.5 gallon kettle
1 thermometer
4 ball lock kegs
1 co2 bottle
1 regulator
2 glass carboys
1 plastic fermenter
star san
1 bottling bucket
1 fermenting bucket
2 glass carboy
1 hydrometer
Things I need to order
15.5 gallon kettle (one weld)
2 piece ball valve 1/2" stainless
airlock/bung (need a couple spares)
auto siphon 3/8"
siphon hose 3/8"
ball lock o-ring replacement
beer dispensing unit (picnic tap)
25' 1/2" wort chiller
carboy brush
powdered brewery wash
keg o ring lube
