I have just finished my first brew in 30 plus years and I have a sup of the finished but raw beer... full of yeast but still tastes good and hope that will improve with conditioning and resting. So going forward I have decided to just go straight for an all in one brew system.
Brewing with the BIAB was fine but I did not like the lack of temperature control at mashing and would like to sparge the grain better. I did my first batch in the kitchen but I also did not like the possible scald dangers shifting large volumes of hot water about out doors on uneven ground would bring. A move to an all in one will allow me to do all the brew in my workshop. I will have a fridge fermentation cabinet in there too so all the brew from mash to bottling and kegging will be done in one space. I am going with a Grainfather S40 it seems a good entry level system.
