      Hi
      
      Im going to give this recipe a stab, by the way it will be my first BIAB.
      
      American Pale Ale - NRB's All Amarillo APA (for Mini-BIAB)
      
      This might be a bit of a noob question, I want to end up with a little bit more beer, and was wondering if I could sparge? If not can you explain why?
      
      If so, what the preferred method of sparging?
      
      How much water should I use with Sparging?
      
      Any help would be appreciated.
      
      Cheers

      jarvo, The Calculator has been superseded by The BIABacus. Download and explore The BIABacus here . That link contains NRB's All Amarillo APA.
      
      Also search the site for sparging and sweet liquor shop as these might lead to some fast answers for you in this complicated area.
      
      Once you have done the above, please feel free to post your BIABacus file filled in as best as you can with your questions.
      
      All the best,
      Nuff
      
      Thanks Mate!

      Hey
      
      I was wondering, would a BBQ be a good heat source for BIAB?

      Jarvo,
      
      Interesting question, but I think that you would have some problems (I'm assuming that its gas fired). The primary issue i think will be that it will take a LOOOOOONG time to get the pot to boil (if it can) and keeping it boiling for 60-90 min will take a ton of gas. The flame is pretty far away from the pot.
      
      I really like to keep additional equipment to a minimum and save money, but I don't think that the BBQ is the best way to get there.

      HI
      
      I have been an extract brewer for a few years and have dabbled in mini mashes. I have decided to make the next big step and go all grain in the form of BIAB.
      
      Im going to use Ralphs Maxi BIAB method, however I'm getting really confused finding a recipe that would suit a Maxi BIAB.
      
      I have the Big W 19L stockpot
      
      Is there a good calculator that converts batch sizes to suit a Maxi?
      
      I was wondering if people could post a few MAXI BIAB recipes as it would help me lots with my first batch and...

      Just wondering has anyone every made a How to Video for Mini or Maxi BIAB?
      
      I'm looking to get into this soon, mini seems fairly easy however I may struggle with the Maxi and a video would help not only me but probably heaps of others.
      
      Cheers

      The Maxi had me stumped for a while, I think I read it like 6-7 times but I think I know what I'm doing now.
