Ive been brewing on and off for about 10 years - about two years ago I sold all my gear and have been rebuilding. Now I have the chance to rebuild and am looking mostly to brew a BIAB partial boil system which I believe is called maxi biab. My main goal is the shortest brew day possible - I mostly brew session ales british & belgian influenced ales in sub 1.060 range and would like to brew some 10 gallon session batches like milds & bitters partial boil. Fermentation & recipe creation is my fav part of brewing - dont like building stuff and would rather pay with $than time.
Right now I've got:
5 gallon kettle
2 gallon pot for sparge water
Bucket for "sparge" dunk of bag
Kegging setup
What i think I need:
Larger kettle
Dudadeisel plate chiller
Possibly an outdoor burner
Do you have any thoughts on gear? What would you buy for the shortest brew day possible? Would love to get under 3 hours - maybe 2.5 hour mash to fermentor.
