      Hi all
      I did my first biab last Friday, using no chill to cool and started fermentation on Saturday night. Looking at the fermenter today and there seems to be a huge amount of cloudiness/sediment at the bottom. It's not overly visible on the picture, but it goes up just past the 5ltr mark and covers the tap. Is this normal at this stage of fermentation? Will it settle down or do i need to transfer to a secondary fermenter and try to lose of the sediment?

      Did you transfer everything from the kettle or did you rack the wort off of the sediment in the kettle?

Which type of thermometer is best to use? Is there a specific bag I should buy or am I best making one myself? Apologies for all the questions!
      
      I'm hoping to do my first brew in it soon. I'm new to BIAB, having...

      I just came across this thread. I've been using the circular sheet of voile for several years. To make life easier, you can take a shorter length of rope or twine, do a hangmans noose and incorporate a stainless steel hook into the opposite end. In the photo I also used a hangman's noose as it's the only knot I know apart from tying my shoelaces. The wee hooks are usually sold in hardware stores for a few dollars in bubble packs of two, four or whatever.
      
      At the end of your hoist rope also fit...
