      Hello,
      I was wondering if there is a chart somewhere translating the number of cups a coffee urn makes to the volume of liquid it actually holds? The largest urn I've found so far in my searches has been a 100 cup urn but I'm not really sure what that gives me in litres/gallons.
      Also, is there any issues with the bag in the BIAB setup touching the element in an electric system and melting? Or do you just make sure that keep the bag high enough above the element that it won't melt?
      
      Thanks,
      John

      G'day JVD,
      I would say you need to go bigger unless you wish to do a mini-biab or maxi-biab.
      
      One of the biggest pains when converting imperial to metric is in volumes. If you don't know where the original volume came from, ie US gallons or Imperial gallons etc, then you may end up with the wrong result.
      And as noted above, it would seem that simple things I take for granted like a 1 cup measure can be different the world round. :nup:
      Sorry for the rant, hopefully it can help you to determin...
