Good morning everyone! I'm looking forward to joining the board and experiencing BIAB in all forms! I live in New England some brewing on my rig outside is not a option I to like many others discovered this method via BYO and youtube. Glad to be a part of the community and I will gladly share any knowledge I have learned in doing my research on yeast, and aging.

Hello.

My name is Rhys, and I currently live in SLC, UT. I've been brewing extract for a few years although before I moved to UT from AZ I was kinda lazy about brewing because booze was so cheap in AZ. I've been reading into moving to all-grain and once I read about BIAB and its relative simplicity, I was sold! I can't remember exactly how I heard about this site, but I believe someone on homebrewtalk mentioned it. My wife isn't confident she could sew a bag strong enough for me (I think she's wrong, but whatever), I ordered a custom-sized one online. Looking forward to getting my first brew done... hopefully this upcoming weekend if I can get everything in line.

Eh hosers, Yan here from northern Illinois USA. I don't remember how I found this place but have been lurking for a few weeks. I stumbled on the all grain smaller batch idea a few weeks ago on a kitchen blog / e-zine which led to my finding BIAB.

I've done four extract kit batches (5 gallon kits) but that much is not really practical for me. I get board about half way through the batch but don't have room for several batches of bottles around the house. I hope to step into the 2.5 to 3 gallon batch size.

I currently have a nut brown ale (extract kit) in the secondary. Hopes are to get a BIAB batch going this weekend but that may be a long shot. I still need to sew the bag. Call me crazy but plan is to have the BIAB in the kettle while I bottle the extract kit.

Hello all, my name is Kenny Taylor and I live in Cullman, Alabama. I have been registered here for a little while, but this will be my first introduction post.

I first came across your site via simple web browsing. It might could have been linked from some threads over at HBT.com It is a little hard to get used to another platform which is why I guess it's taken me a while to say hello.

I'm a new brewer having started last November. Presently I have 6 extract brews under my belt with the last two finally being full boil brews. I'm trying to slowly expand my brewing skills one small step at a time to better understand the effects of each step and how those small steps impacts the overall picture.

I'm hoping that my next brew weekend will involve BIAB. I have a 15 gallon pot that I plan to use, just needing to get me the correct sized bag. I still have much reading to do which is what landed back on this site. Plenty of useful information to process and study while I try to decide how to dive in.

I'm a career Paramedic and have been working in healthcare for the past 25 years. Aside from growing up on the farm, working EMS is all I really know. The job can be rewarding, but there are times I would prefer pumping gas for a living. Enjoying a cold homebrewed bottle of suds really helps after coming home from a bad night a work.

I look forward to reading and participating in this forum. I beg for your patience as I'm still learning my way.

All the best,

Kenny Taylor

Hi Folks,

I'm a new brewer. So far so good.

I'm from PEI Canada (the east coast), but I'm currently living in Sydney Australia. I did a few kits, which turned out ok, but after 4 brews, bought an urn and another fermenter. This site has helped me immensely and I would like to thank you all.

First Post!!

My name is Brady and my wife and I are originally from Colorado, currently living outside D.C. while she gets her PhD. I am a software developer and I work from home, which gives me some extra free time for this little brewing addiction. I've been home brewing for almost 5 years (extract/partial mash) and have recently started ramping up with a new keezer build and looking for an all grain setup, my research into electric RIMS/HERMS systems led me to eBIAB which is now the front runner for my new setup. I've known about BIAB for a while now because of NorthernBrewer, but I didn't like the idea of having to brew more often and doing 3 gallon batches so I quickly disregarded it after my initial interest. Lately, HomeBrewTalk.com has been my home away from home and that is where I learned about doing larger eBIAB batches and the BIABacus, which is my primary reason for being here. But now that I know a little more about the site (thanks to this registration process!!) I'll probably be sticking around for a while

Hi guys, i'm Johannes from Stockholm, Sweden. 31 years old, I used to be a chef, but now i study architecture.

I haven't really brewed that much, just a couple of partial brews. I'm really excited about BIAB, which as I type I actually haven't tried yet, I'm just trying to scoop up as much information as possible about brewing in general and BIAB in particular, so that's why I'm here! For now I'm using a 16 L stock pot i had lying around. I'll use that to make some smaller batches until i found a routine i like, and then decide what upgrades to do..

I think the BIAB is great for my beer taste, I like well hoped beers as much as anyone, but I don't necessarily think that "bigger is better" all the time. I love beers that you can have three of. So, session beers, APAs, "normal" lagers, etc, is what i'll be doing to start with! This seems like a nice place, keep it up!

Howdy y'all,

I'm Sam from Taos, New Mexico.
I stumbled across this via the Beersmith site.
I have brewed a few extract beers over the past couple of years. I know quite a few pretty accomplished brewers around here, but as far as I know I am the first to try BIAB.
I have my first batch of BIAB beer in primary at this moment. I pieced together the recipe using Beersmith and a lot of random stuff from the internet. I am glad to see a site dedicated to BIAB and am hoping it will be the go to site when I do my second batch.

Hello all!
A friend and I are looking into breaking into the homebrew scene. Working, attending school, and living in apartment, we'd like to minimize cost and space needed for brewing (not at the expense of a good brew, though). I've never brewed before - my only real experience with yeast is baking bread. I stumbled on the idea of BIAB, and was referred to this site, through the Reddit homebrewing site. I'm looking forward to getting set up for my first brew through the site!

Hi all,

Complete newb when it comes to beer brewing. Looked at extract brewing and thought it seemed to not provide the freedom of all grain. Looked at all grain and found BIAB to be a bit simpler and more elegant.

May have bitten off more than I can chew but, hey, you gotta be in it to win it!

Looking forward to sharing the journey.

Hi all!

Newbie brewer, hace tested extract, partial mash and full mash with varied results...tomorrow I will do my first BIAB...

Looking forward to learning more from you all

Cheers
