  As always on liquids your mileage may vary some. Also, grind will change the absorption rate. Always try to grind the same setting for consistancy. Boil rate will change if you use a propane burner also.
  As far as To squeeze or not to squeeze , that is the question I personally have never had off flavors {tannins} due to squeezing the bag. I do also let it drain over a collender not the pot. Only change in flavor profile has been due to I brew outside and will pick up wild yeast due to spring...

  I'm trying to figure out the best material to use to make a keg wrap to insulate my keggle during the mash. The first materials that run through my mind are foil covered bubble wrap covered be a neoprene wrap with velcro seam. I have two giant reflective windshield shades that seem thick and somewhat insulated. They might work in a pinch. Anyway, i'm posing this topic in hopes some good suggestions of tested or theoretical ideas.

  I use a layer of sizalation, which is like a foil sheet one side and blue on the other used in building, against my kettle followed by a layer of yoga mat from clarke rubber followed by another outer layer of sizaltion. This works an absolute treat. I get about a 1.5-2 degree heat loss over a 90 minute mash on a cold winter morning when the ambient temp is about 10 degrees.
  The outer layer of sizalation is probably not that necessary for insulation purposes, but as the layers are permanantly...

3. Straight Sided pot or Keggle?
  1 Replies 3730 Views
  
  First post by DABEER, 15 years ago
  
  First post
  
  Hello Guy's, just a quick question. I am about to do my first All Grain (BIAB Technique). I notice on alot of the recipe's, the examples are mentioning using a Straight Sided Pot. I have a Keggle, I would consider this to be a Straight Sided Vessel. Would you? If not, please explain. THX :idea:
  
  Last post
  
  I think the reason that people distinguish a straight sided pot, is for the ease of taking volume measurement with the likes of a ruler. This is very easy with a straight sided, flat based kettle. Because a keggle tends to have a dished base an a couple of ridges along the side of the keggle, volume calibration is a bit harder and requires a purpose made measure stick or calibrated sight glass.
  Cheers

4. Rain water & Mash pH

  We are on rain tank water which has a pH of around 5.6. I'm aware that the pH of mash is important and dependent on the type of grains being mashed. Classing our rain water as distilled water, as there would be no mineral content in it (that I'm aware of), what mineral adjustments would I need to make to the mash, if any?
  
  I have brewed an extract kit (which has turned out fine) and did a partial mash to brew a smoked porter (OG 1.065 FG 1.018) which was just bottled yesterday. Now, I'm going...

  We are quite a way from the road & no trees around too. So, should be pretty clean, except now, we have volcano ash now coming across from Chile. The water pH is 7.28. I'll probably use Beersmith to adjust the water minerals with.

  2/How many grams per liter powdered corn sugar would you recommend for a oatmeal stout that will have heaps of body?
  3/What are the advantages of fermenting first in a primary and then a secondary rather than just the one container?
  4/Is there any difference in carbonating in PET bottles or glass bottles?

  So i just finished up my first BIAB... mostly just a test of equipment and technique. I think i screwed up almost everything by being sloppy, but i was mostly just interested in extraction efficiency and trying out my own bargain basement method.
  
  I was trying out the mini-biab with the amarillo pale ale recipe, but i had to buy the grains by the 1/2 kg so i ended up with 2kg of pale, .5 of caramber, and .5 of dk munich. I bought them about a month and a half ago and milled them when I bought...

  Yes, some hops tea could do that, that's one of the other options I was thinking about. It would probably work most effectively with high AA% hops for a shorter boil, plus some malt extract, say 100g/L. I would use a recipator (i.e brewing software) to give say at least 50% of the original bittering addition, so boil a litre or two of water plus enough malt, but calculate the mass of hops for the full- sized batch. I have a feeling it would be best added sooner rather than later, so don't...

  Hi Scottie
  
  Mine is a 40l Crown Urn with a 2400W concealed element, get a boil off rate of 3.3-3.5 litres per hour.
  
  My urn is lagged with a camping mat to reduce heat losses and you may also try with the lid half on during boiling. Don't have the lid on full as nasties need to escape but half is OK.

11. 2nd BIAB, Terrible efficiency!

  First post by opalko, 15 years ago
  
  First post
  
  Ok, this is my 2nd BIAB after brewing on a 3V system for a number of years. On my old set up with an EasyMasher (or homemade clone) I would normally get 75% efficiency - easily. My first BIAB I calculated the OG at around 1038 and ended up 1028-1030. This time I increased the grain bill and had an expected OG of 1050 (at 75% eff) and ended with a gravity of 1039 - 59% efficiency?!
  
  The recipe
  7 lb American 2 row malt
  1 lb Crystal 40L
  1 lb Amber malt
  4 oz Corn sugar
  
  .8 oz Goldings hops (5% AAU)...

  Sorry to hear you had probs on your first one opalko :sad:. You are totally right though that there shouldn't be any major difference in efficiency between your 3V and BIAB. Most of us who have changed from 3V to BIAB have noticed a slight increase if anything.
  
  I wrote a post the other day here on 7 reasons for poor efficiency. I think you will find on your next brew that the problem has suddenly disappeared. If it hasn't that would be very strange and we'd have to narrow things down a bit.

12. Hop Bill Scaled Recipe

  First post by Michaelvw, 15 years ago
  
  First post
  
  Hi... I haven't done a BIAB yet but am working up to it. Just getting my gear. Looking at the calculator, under the hop bill tab, I want to know why the hop bill needs to be increased? I guess the grain needs to be increased because of the grain going in the full volume of water BUT surely the hops would remain the same as the boil would be just like a 3 tier stage? Can someone explain this? Cheers
  
  Last post
  
  The calculator scales the grain bill to the desired grain bill based on the desired brewlength, which may be different to the original grain bill's brewlength
  
  This is just like scaling a recipe from 2 people to 3 people
  
  The hop bill is scaled in the same way, except it is also scaled based on the gravity throughout the boil, which again, has an effect
  
  So, the grain and hop bills are not being scaled because you are using BIAB instead of 3V, but because the quantity you are producing is more...

  I have been using this bag for my BIAB beers.
  
  It is a coarse nylon bag, with about the same size holes as a paint strainer bag. The problem I've been getting on my lighter beers is a pretty pronounced raw grainy flavor that does not mellow with time. In fact it's generally so present that it dominates the flavor and aroma of the beer.

  Correct Binoclard, the Hot liquor tank is known as the HLT for short apologies. In a traditional three vessel system it would be vessel #1 where the water is heated and kept for mashing in and sparging, which is the rinsing of the grains.
  Hot liquor tank--->Mash tun--->Boiler
  
  With Biab we do it all in one. So while that thing would be good for mashing I'd not necessarily use it for boiling if you want to retain the insulation.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  Well, My first true biab is busy mashing away in the garage. Ive been taking photos/measurements etc, along the way. So with any luck Ill be posting a bit of a photo essay of my first real biab. Im relaxing, having a brew :smoke: , and wondering about the 90min vs 60 min. boil. Being a green sort of fellow, I was thinking :scratch: : the 90 min boil will use 30% more propane than a 60 min. boil. So why the extra length?

  Well, tried the weissbier from this thread yesterday:
  
  Seemed to go ok..........I was a bit down on efficiency, getting a start of boil gravity of 1028 (not 1030) and an OG of 1041 not 1047. Cooling it to a low enough temperature was a problem, and had to pitch at 15C in the end. Fermentation gone off like a rocket, mow desperately looking for coolest spots in the house. :pray:
  
  What I have noticed on both brews is that emptying my bolier, which has a hop strainer on the tap, is virtually...

  So I've been using BIAB for a few months now, have 2 dozen batches under my belt with it. very comfortable with the process, but this has all been small batches (2.5gal) boiling on my stove top. i now have a 10gal kettle and burner for outdoor use..
  
  i had been boiling 2gal to end up with 1.5g and top off w/ a gallon of R0 in the fermenter, which worked great as I had no wort chiller so I'd end up around 65F and pitch. has worked this way for me wonderfully, extract, PM, or AG .
  
  i've been...

  really appreciate all the helpful replies. after noting it above, it never occured to me how much more liquid might boil off from a larger diameter pot.... :headhit:
