      Thought I would share my shiny new setup.

      It’s a 120L aluminium pot with a SS 2 piece ball valve.
      Coming from a 40L pot that has served me well over the past 4 years, and since I am brewing more and more I thought it was time for a BIG upgrade!
      
      Happily I can report that my first brew was a total success, I brewed JZ's mild from Brewing Classic Styles using a combination of The Calculator and BeerSmith 2.0 (after seriously setting it up properly for BIAB, thanks to...

      Hi,
      yep I have a 2:1 pulley to get the bag out without breaking my back.
      No chill in a couple of 20L cubes and ferment in a 60L fermenter, which just fits in my fermenting fridge!
      
      Cheers
      
      DK, could you please post a picture of your 2:1 pulley?

      Fellow BIABers, the 2011 comp season is almost here!!
      
      I just did my schedule - 4 already bottled, 3 to be bottled, 8 to be brewed over the next 2 months. :o
      Anyone else going to have a good crack at the comps this year?

      Good on you DK.
      
      I'll be letting the BIAB team down severely in a few days at the Royal Perth Beer Show. Enter every year so as I can go to the exhibitor's tasting :drink:. Usually don't let the team down but this year I have two hazy, green beers that are both out of style/ I'll be seriously lucky to get half marks on those buggers.
      
      So, that's my effort for the year. Go me! :lol:
      
      Can you keep everyone informed of dates and stuff DK?

      Hi All,
      
      Up until now I have been having great success with my little BIAB set-up (40L aluminum pot, 4 ring burner, bag and a couple of 20L cubes), my next step is to go into double batches, one for me and one for a mate who digs my beer.
      
      What I had in mind was the following -
      
      90L aluminum pot from allquip
      2 X biab bags from craftbrewer
      1 ball valve
      2:1 pulley system
      Same old 4 ring burner
      A couple more 20L cubes
      
      I am a bit worried about the bags bursting so I thought that maybe double...

      Thanks PP, I am giving the maxi-biab a go this weekend, (gillards parental leave has not been paid yet .... still) I am stoked to find the calc that stux did, it's a life saver!
