I was in the fabric store the other day buying some polyester voile material, and I ran accross silk organza in the bridal section. (That sounds a little funny, come to think of it). I haven't tried it, but when I pulled it along the warp and weft, it was very strong and the weave did not open up. I...

I tried making a bag from cotton canvas with a wide weave for the reasons you mentioned. It worked when I did a test run in the bath tub with cold water, but when it came to brew day and it was full of hot water and grain, it plugged up or swelled tight like a balloon. Luckily I had another bag ther...

That's interesting you were going to steep the grains over night. I was reading in other forums about people adding the black grains late in the mash. I guess they did that to get more color without too much flavor from the black grains. I don't see what the point to making an ipa black just to mak...

The mash temp is low to achieve higher attenuation, keeping the body low. I suppose using some sugar would do the same thing. I didn't do it the last time I made this, but I plan on cold steeping the dark grains for a day and adding the liquid at boil time. I've never done this but I've heard a lot ...

Hello All, I've been brewing pretty regularly for the last three years. I discovered BIAB this year and it's become my regular method now. I live in Portland, Oregon, USA. We have lots of good beer here, but I enjoy making it myself nonetheless. I normally visit homebrewtalk.com and aussiehomebrewer...
