I'll write him again, urging him to come here and discuss with BIABers to help improve his software. I am sure he doesn't want to miss the next Big Thing of the homebrewing world;) I am playing around with the Calculator and BA, and while I have more consistent numbers than the other day (putting 2....

BeerAlchemy and BIAB

Hi all, I have discovered, and started to play with BeerAlchemy. It's really nice, well designed and I have learned quite a few usefull things about brewing just by putting random numbers, changing grain amounts or hop variety, adjusting IBU or ABV sliders, etc. :geek: That being said, is there any ...

So, I have read a bit much, flipping pages between "how to brew", "designing great beers", and the trillions of websites about beer… and I think I begin to have a tiny bit better understanding of the whole and what influences what. As the first thing that interest me in this brewing thing is the cre...

from http://www.jimsbeerkit.co.uk/forum/view" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ... 45#p249927 I now use polypins extensively - I don't know of any alternative that lets you enjoy (CAMRA regulation) real ale for longer if drinking between just 1 - 2 people. Its perfect because the bag co...

So… I didn't find that much serious info about the practical side of using a plastic collapsible container/polypin/cubitainer, but it is indeed done. The consensus about the amount of carbonation seems to be around 1.5, more you'll have to be very careful, check very often and eventually release CO2...

I like it when people think outside the box It's not outside the box, it's inside a bag inside a box… :whistle: I already have the taste for lightly carbonated beers, and the lazyness to try it ^__^ Quick update on my research: it's definitely not new, many UK craft brewers sell their beers in "bag...

I am convinced, back to the first logical idea: a 50L pot with a tap on a gas burner with a bag… It was indeed fun looking for stuff and methods, I learned a lot, and I still haven't looked into the recipes yet :roll: I still have tons to read and learn. I think the mash part is clear enough, now I'...

Thanks for your inputs. Sure I was tempted, but I am not addict enough to put chf 1'500.– on the thing ;) I don't think the height would be much more a trouble than a 70L pot on a burner with a skyhook for the bag, would it? I was just wondering the differences between the 2 processes. The "basket" ...

Hi, I am from Switzerland, in a little town near Geneva.

Never brewed, just discovering the BIAB concept, but already loving it.

I am really looking forward to make my first beer (and the many that will follow… ;) ) and to experiment with recipes.

Until then, read, read, read…

Great thanks :) You guys are amazing, every day I learn that beer could be done with one less tool. A pot, a bag, a cube and you can brew, amazing! Especially when you read that some BIAB-No-chillers won competitions against beers made with a huge and complicated system with kilometers of tubing and...

Mmmmh… good questions. a) yep, outside, I guess. I am tempted by perhaps trying a small batch on a stove pot first, but the goal is –for the moment…– to go with a gas burner and a big pot. I have a roofed terrasse, with hooks for hammocks to lift the bag. b) I really don't plan a huge production, I ...

Thanks for the link PistolPatch. I emailed the vendor and he says it is not suitable for direct heating, but only to keep tea/coffee/soup warm… I am definitely not "crafty" enough (or motivated… ) to drill it and convert it with a heating element. Too bad… The price was way cheaper than other –non i...

Thanks hashie, I'll ask the vendor about the base. It catch my eyes because of the look and the thermo thing, meaning less heat loss, etc, but if it's not suitable for gas, I'll choose a classic pot, as I want to keep it simple and don't want to mess with an external heater. I'll make up my mind abo...
