I love brew day since I went to BIAB. The beer is awesome! Simplicity has paved the way to relax and just have fun-- Darts, music, making mozzarella with the grand-kids, barbequing, drinking beer, all while brewing. That was impossible with my 3V system ...and the beer is awesome! Once in a while th...

Do you have one of Jeff's new bags with the rounded bottom or the old pillow case style? Wow, sorry I overlooked this so long. I have the square pillowcase kind with no probe issues. A rounded bottom would be an awesome design change. I love my bag from Jeff, but when hoisted up, I have to be caref...

Totally off topic. I humbly apologize to ADMAN. -- In another life, my crew (USAF B-52) found ourselves in downtown Las Vegas (from Edwards AFB). I saw a sign that read, "Free Buffet". In my youthful ignorance I shouted, "Sweet! Get to see Jimmy for free?" After an awkward silence; I sheepishly slum...

ooooooo don't get me started on Jimmy Buffet :champ: I was introduced to him when I lived in Guam. Have all the albums and read every book. Brings back memories... some embarrassing :sneak:

Oh come on Bob! I've seen The videos. You have to just be starting to thaw out. Is that lake really warm enough to swim in by now? :lol:

Even though I'm a classic rock fan... Liquid Tension Experiment's "Acid Rain" seems quite a good choice to get those alpha acids converted :thumbs: Followed by Frankenstein, by Edgar Winter to set the pace for other classics

I feel bad about saying a negative thing about HBT. They did help me grow as a brewer. I feel bad for those guys who have invested so much in 3V. I was 3V and about to make the big jump. My brother-in-law welds really good and volunteered his time. I almost invested $3000 dollars in a big system (al...

collecting motorcycles (I currently have 3 of them) Motorbikes as well, but I only have 2, and ones my wifes, so i guess that means only one. Currently looking at building a dehydrator to make jerky/biltong. It goes well with beer :thumbs: There are some really good DIY dehydrator plans on the web....

Ok Bob, combined with my coffee stout -- we have a breakfast of champions! (or a really good reason to sleep in late and just do bruch:lol: ). Let us know the tasting notes. (I can just see your recipe featured in the BeerSmith newsletter). There are more and more articles popping up about BIAB in t...

Maybe I'm not reading your question correctly, but I found that adding O2 virtually eliminated (decreased) the lag time. My wort with a starter and added O2 begins to ferment before I finished cleaning up my brew-day mess. It seems to be a screaming jump into the anaerobic stage. Maybe I'm not obser...

Hiking, Naturalist stuff (birding, edible plants, paleo-technology, etc.) Herbalism and medicine-making, cheese making, wine/mead making. Classic rock, playing with grandkids. Yeast-whispering. Watching the stir-plate tornado. Sniffing airlocks. Stealing a taste of what my wife is cooking without in...

Hey there again, I now have had several BIAB sessions with my Blichmann 20. My bag was made by Jeff Omundnson. Even though I'm careful and had a spoon ready to guide the bag away from the probe; it seems to draw-up and bypass the probe without touching or catching. This may be due to my decision to ...

Yup I was one who thought the perfect brewing system to brew award winning home brew was on a three vessel herms or rims along with fly sparging and a whole Saturday was needed to be dedicated to set up, brewing and cleanup. For me brewing became more of a hassle and exhausting chore that I got to ...

Holy crap! 47 years old and I never knew that! I just grabbed some magnetic stir bars for my stir plate. Stainless steel is mostly nickle and is not that magnetic. Thanks thughes, I was clueless. You saved me $200!

3500W induction plate?

I'm a propane burner guy and mentally challenged with electric. Most of y'all use hot-water type elements I assume. I was in my restaurant supply today to pick up a scale for my grain mill. The salesman turned me on to a 3500 watt induction burner plate. He claims it brings 110 quarts/104l to boil. ...

I came up with 10.85 gallons in BS2. Must have plugged in the wrong equipment info. PP: are you using the BIABabicus?

You know you have a winner when you utter the phrase, "tastes nice" on bottling day. I still have two cases left from my 1st BIAB (10gal/38l Newcastle clone) And, as usual, it keeps getting better! Very glad I didn't keg it. Brewing it again this weekend. Keep us posted on tasting notes. I may want ...
