I can do 10g batches inside on my ebiab system no problem as someone said earlier you can go as simple or complex as you desire with any brewing method.
I think it's funny as well because I never break posts down like that.. I think it was the first time I have actually, but I did so because I feel strongly about it. I'm not comparing one to the other at all.@tknice - I knew even while typing that someone would respond as you did trying to defend BIAB by breaking my post down piece by piece. You obviously missed my point and I still don't know why people need defend their method over those used by others. I'd stated it's what works for a persons needs. If biab works for you great, just as I don't feel the need to convert others neither should you. It's rather silly actually. Btw, using extra racks like you suggested requires extra cleaning. I typically rinse my mash tun and only clean it with oxyclean every 3 or so batches. Not much work with a mash tun either, don't know what the big problem is.

How many commercial brews are done biab? Why is that do you suppose?

They don't make bags big enough.

I think your response was spot on. Someone asks about biab and another chimes in with a list of negatives that are easily remedied. Rev don't have such thin skin the post was valid to the thread.

Simple is better. "When you stop learning you start dying".
lifting heavy bags gets tiresome after a few high gravity batches
it's certainly cheaper but I wouldn't say it's easier

It seems to me that the BIAB process is much more simple, why would anyone choose to do it the other way?
Is it recommended for new brewers to start with the BIAB method for AG?
Why doesn't everyone just batch sparge??
Oh, I beg to differ...I have made some gigantic bags
You can use more than one bag of course- but doing a 5 gallon BIAB is different than a 30 gallon BIAB!

People who can't lift a bag of wet grain have bigger problems than what method to use.

BrightSpot said:Indeed! Efficiency is nowhere near as important as consistent results and predictability. I have plans to try other approaches myself, for fun, but I am quite happy with my current process too.
