Hello everyone another BIAB noob here trying to gain knowledge

Hi there,

I'm a Kiwi who has recently returned home to Auckland after a 7 year stint in the US. Drank many amazing beers there and have discovered many great ones here in NZ.

I am currently extract brewing w/ speciality grains. Have done 4 brews and am looking forward to branching out into AG.

The forum looks like it contains a wealth of information. I'm looking forward to learning!

Thanks, been awesome actually. Great atmosphere around, been really enjoying heading to the pub to watch the games

Hi Guys,
Just started out with a recipe that a mate gave me for a belgian dark amber
i have completed it and its in the fermenter now.

Its only a small one, two 4 litre batches made from two 10 litre pots!

I now have a 19L one and will graduate to 10 litres. I want to do many small batches rather than fewer large

I would like to clone Holgate Temptress Chocolate Porter next as a request from my girlfriend. Any thoughts on a recipe to suit a 19L pot (about 10 litres into the fermenter)

What else?
Live in Victoria, Melbourne
32 years old
work as an Engineer for Fords
Love old cars and tinkering!

Hope to hear from you all

Hi! I'm brewing from the tropics of the Philippine archipelago. We have a lot of interested brewers here but not enough ingredients, ie. malts, hops, and yeast! We get by with importing small quantities from the US and Singapore, relying on relatives to bring them for us.

I'm attempting to brew my first all grain from BIAB method and if successful, I shall be serving some in my restaurant. This site will surely help me with that. Thanks to you all. The information in this site is very invaluable.

Hello all! I hail from Hampstead, Maryland in the US. I've never tried biab before, but the simplicity has me thinking I just might get rid of a bunch of my space-consuming equipment and go this route. I look forward to learning as much as I can from you fine people!

Cheers!

Good day everyone,

I'm from Seattle, Washington USA. I heard about BIAB from the Brewing Network's "Brew Strong" with Jamil show when he went down to Australia. I was looking for a cheaper way to brew then extract and this method made sense and was the cheapest way to go all grain. Now I've done 3 batches of BIAB, my first was amazing but my efficiency has gone down the tubes the last 2. I hope I can learn how to take my BIAB to the next level here.

Cheers!

Gday from Darwin, stumbled across this site while researching homebrew techniques. was wondering if there were any practitioners up this way. I have done some home brews before but only in kit form. would appreciate some reading recommendations for AG brewing, and also whether the grains are available in this part of Australia.

Hello from the UK. Have done plenty of research on BIAB (moving on from tweaked kit brews) and am just about to put an order in for grain and hops - looking to produce some authentic IPA's and quality session beers.

Hej!

Originally from Michigan in the US, I moved to Stockholm, Sweden a few months ago. I couldn't take my all-grain setup on the plan with me, obviously. Living in a tiny apartment (with my wife and toddler) in one of the most expensive cities in the world, I don't have space or money for a lot of new equipment. I bought a few things to do extract & partial mash batches, then I stumbled on this BIAB site.

I've only been brewing for a few years and have done 16 batches, including one extract and one partial mash here in Stockholm. Look forward to getting a few BIAB batches under my belt.

Skål!

Kevin

G'day,

Will here. Manjimup W.A. (southern sticks). Done some average kits and found out bout Biab. Look forward to better brews I can serve to friends. Always a little extra pride when you've made it yourself.

Cheers
Will.

Hello! Central Southern UK Brewer here, been doing kits for about a year before going onto BIAB a couple of months ago - wish I'd never bothered with the kits for so long really! I'm doing full length BIAB 23-25 boils, with a homemade immersion cooler. I get much clearer wort and much clearer beer than with any kit I've done (that might be something to do with the yeast - I think a sachet of S-04 is much better than any yeast supplied with a kit...). Using Irish Moss in the last 10 minutes of boil probably helps nicely with this too.

Anyway, I'm getting my neighbour into all grain brewing too this morning - trying a maxiBIAB in a stockpot. So far it seems less hassle than a full length boil.

ttfn.

Hello Mates.

My online moniker is avid and I live in the State of Oregon which is in the Northwestern US. I haven't brewed in decades and when I was brewing it was with malt extracts. I have been dredging the internet and especially YouTube for the latest information about equipment and techniques. I kept seeing people refer to BIAB and I decided I had better figure what the fuss was about.

This is THE site for learning how to BIAB and I can thank Google's indexing for finding it. I am going to Portland (taking the Caravan on the six hour drive) tomorrow and intend to stop into a Oregon's largest home fermenting store to shop. We have a pretty good brew shop locally. They have a killer selection of ingredients but a limited selection of equipment. Actually being able to buy any ingredient I need is one of the incentives for starting again, that and BIAB. My wife has had it with my six decades of purchasing hardware and filling up the basement in pursuit of my many hobbies. I won't need to purchase much to get into BIAB and that makes her very happy. She can finally stop cranking at me about the 150 Grolsch bottles I have been storing for decades.

I am looking forward to hanging around and learning from the experts. Who knows, in time I may even learn enough to assist another beginning BIAB brewer.

Cheers,

Hi guys,
I'm from italy and I'm an homebrewer since 2009. After 2 years of electric brewing (the easier way to make beer in a flat), next week I'll turn to BIAB. I just bought a voile (or I hope so) and I'm ready to start!
Next I'll try to buy a Buffalo Boiler, the thing is they ship just inside the UK...

Cheers,
Luca

1. Where are you from?
Yorkshire, England.

2. How did you stumble across the site?
A link on the AussieHomeBrewer forum.

3. What you think of it so far?
Rubbish! (that's a joke that only 40yearold+ Brits would get - a teevee show catchphrase ). Seriously, you have an interesting 'format'... can comment on the content yet but I'm sure I won't be disappointed.

4. Have you brewed at all before. If so, for how long and what method are you currently using?
About a year... simple wine & cider recipes and beer 'kits & bits'... looking for the next step.

5. Do you work? Are you retired or maybe you run a household?
Yup, in a call-centre for a security firm... 12 hour night-shifts... oh joy!

Cheers!
Steve
