      So I would like to try my first BIAB. For the record I search for this conversion on the site and did not see it, and I also search for posting the spread sheet and I did not see that either. :blush:
      
      I have a recipe that I would like to try based on it's simplicity and comments made about the final product. I have filled in the calculator the best that I can.

I saw the mention of many tubes and just wanted to clarify that I was talking about hot water heater for faucet use and not a how water heater for heating..... Some would say if I just set the pot out in the sun during our summer months there would be not need for an external heat source of...
