Is This B a Good Choice for BIAB?

I agree, I looked at both bags and picked The Brew Bag due to it's lifting lugs making things easier than tying knots around the top of the bag to lift

Did you consider that the handles on the Brew Bag require more vertical clearance for lifting than a Wilser Bag tied with a Prusik knot. Of course, if you do encounter a vertical clearance issue, you could always tie a Prusik knot around the top of your Brew Bag, and not use the handles.

Not a problem

Ah, very nice. Repurposing your trebuchet for a brew day between bouts of storming the castle.

The Wilser stuff arrived fast. The bag fits perfectly. No handles, but then I was not promised any.

It's water treatment.

Well, it’s been a while since we’ve had entertainment like this…

I know what a Prusik hitch is, and vaguely know how to tie one, but what are you using it for? I use the drawstring in my wilser bag to pick it up. Do you wrap it around the top to make a shorter handle?

 

[DBhomebrew]

Yes, you can put your attachment as close to the grain ball as you please.

Yup

OK, why are you just using a step ladder instead of building some seriously over-engineered superstructure to hoist your grain bag?

'Cause I already had the stepladder, and it works - that's my reason.

Sometimes, every little bit of vertical advantage helps.

What, are we an old married couple where you answer my questions and finish my sentences for me?

But. Yeah. What he said.

(Although I have often gotten caught making seriously overengineered superstructures for things)
