      Hi guys,
      I have finally managed my first BIAB after what seems like months of gathering together the bits and pieces I needed.
      
      I settled on Programmers Elbow from the BCS book. Everything went reasonably well, no major dramas, at least until it came time to transfer the wort from the kettle to the fermenter. I had about 28 litres of cooled wort in my kettle.
      
      I attempted a whirlpool with the intention of draining the wort into the fermenter through the tap at the bottom of my kettle. Anyway,...

I read this And my next batch which was the programmers elbow so I dumped everything into the fermentor and since then haven't worried that much about trub in the fermentor.

      I plan on moving to biab from kits in the next few months and am in the process of putting together the kit I need. I've got a kettle, made a wort cooler but still to get my burner. I've had a look at BIABacus and get the jist of it but am certainly not happy that I can put a recipe into it to scale to suit me.

      Thanks PP. I've just had a very quick squint through the posts you've pointed out to me. It looks like that will be exactly what I'm after. I'll spend a bit of time working through them, then when I'm a bit a nearer doing my first batch I'll follow Yeasty's advice and post again with my thoughts/questions :cool:
