Bummer. It sounds like there's always a tradeoff in this game. I'm much more comfortable with a 'right way'. So if someone can figure out how to make award winning beer with minimal time, cost, and equipment - I'll be a happy man. Otherwise, I guess make slightly better than extract beer, with sligh...

You don't actually want barley flour. BIAB bags do actually get clogged and the flour forms a clay like trub Thanx for the tip stux, What I had read so far indicated that finer grinds meant increased efficiency, and the BIABags could handle it. I guess what people are getting at is that you want a ...

Boil Time for MaxiBIAB Sparge?

1. Where are you from? South East Queensland, Australia. 2. How did you stumble across the site? I think I was trying to get some info from the AHB forums and followed a link here. It was only earlier that day that I decoded the mysterious 'BIAB' that people kept mentioning. 3. What you think of it...
