I've been out of the game for a few years because we sold our house scaled down to a much smaller space. I sold everything and quit brewing...
I've been reading alot about one gallon BIAB and thought I'd give it a shot. The beer turned out quite nice but two things about the process bothered me.
1. Fiddling with the burner to maintain Mash temp was aggravating.
2. The wort was pretty cloudy.
I'm thinking about building a 2 gallon Rubbermaid Cooler Mash Tun. I figure I can Mash in just like a big system, close the lid, and an hour later it's done. No fiddling with the burner! I also think the vourlof step would clear up the wort.
Anybody use a Mash Tun for small batch brewing? Thought? Opinions?
