First AG and first BIAB under my belt!

I brewed my first AG batch last night. All of the stress and apprehension I was feeling beforehand was completely unnecessary. It was just as easy as an extract batch with steeping grains, just a little longer with more lifting. The BIABAcus did a great job of taking the guess work out of Mash volumes and strike temp. If only I could get used to my Beersmith app reminding me to put my chiller in the kettle (when I've already put it in) and that it ISN'T time for my aroma hop addition , this would have been my nicest brewday yet.

I'm very glad to have finally joined the All Grain brewing crowd. I just wish I didn't have to wait SO long to taste the final product!

Thanks to Jimmy http://www.biabrewer.info/memberlist.ph ... ile&u=4165 and http://www.biab-brewing.com for the bag.

Cheers

JackRussel,

That's the ticket! As long as your brewing up a storm you will be trying new beers each week! As they change over time it seems like you get to "try it for the first time" twice

I think I'll be packing on a few pounds in the coming months.

It is a problem. You know now that I think of it? That is a draw back to BIAB! The three vessel brewers do so much extra work that they sweat off more weight than BIAB'ers do!

Cheers!
