      Ok I know this has been asked a million times so I figure why not one more. :headhit:
      
      I read all the be essential and newbie stuff.
      The download references an APA American Pale Ale recipe but I can't find it.
      
      Since this is going to be my first BIAB attempt is it easier to use a BIAB recipe and convert for my equipment?
      Or find an AG recipe somewhere and convert it?
      
      Ideally I could find a 5 gallon / 19l recipe that is easy and will give me good numbers to set my equipment specs
      
      I apologize...

   2. Hair brained cooler idea

      I wonder if anyone has ever tried boiling in a cooler?
      
      I know people put very hot water in them 190 f 88c water so if I use a rims tube and cover it to get the boil going I could reduce the amount of energy required to boil the wort. And I would not have to worry about setting the house on fire with my turkey frier.

      These are popular in the UK, but I have not seen them much elsewhere, and are in fact on my list of to get next brew gear.
      If I could easily get an element fitted I wouldn't hesitate.
      
      It is basically a double skinned 80L stainless steel pot (though lots of smaller sized ones are available), that is fully insulated.
      
      This thread here shows how one was cut up to suit.
      
      Very similar to your idea cooldood, but with stainless.

      I am thinking about turning this
      
      into this
      
      What do you think?
      I am thinking I could do BIAB with it.

      ...in the meantime I have found a sanke keg and I am going to use that. I think this is going to be a better way to go. I think the tank in post #1 is just too tall and narrow. Pulling the bag from it would be more like pulling a syringe plunger with your finger over the end as there is very little surface area for the wort to drain from. It could take forever.
