i am excited to delve into this site and the brew in a bag method of brewing.
i spent last year doing extract brewing and i would like to get some experience brewing with grains before i even attempt to start the all grain process.
i have a 10 gallon kettle coming in the mail in a week or two and i'll be ready to start my first brew in a bag recipe!!

i look forward to brewing more and asking all of you for avice and help

Hello. I'm from Denver, Colorado. Been extract brewing for about 15 years. Wanted to start all grain brewing when doing research I came across the biab concept. I read a few articles, became convinced biab was the way to go. Found your website, perused many articles and threads. Seems like a great site with lots of good info and helpful people. Can't wait to get started.

Hello all. I'm from Sydney and have been brewing for only a year or so and I am ready to break free from the restrictions of extract brewing. After doing some reading all grain brewing I settled upon BIAB as it seemed like it would be a much smoother transition into the realm of all grain. I found this website mentioned on the Aussie Home Brewer forum and thought I'd swing round these parts to do some more research on the topic and get some pointers before I finally take the plunge. I'm keen to get learning!

Hi!

Completely new home brewer. Keen amateur cook and hot sauce enthusiast from Melbourne, Australia.
Looking forward to my first BIAB beer!

Hi!
My name is Alessandra. I'm from Milan, Italy.
I started brewing 3 years ago (kit and e+g) and now I'm going to brew my first BIAB beer. Here I will surely find all the information I need!

Hi from Perth WA
Really looking forward to learning about BIAB from you all!

Hello all from China! I'll be doing BIAB in order to save time and space. Look forward to checking out posts and recipes, getting some equipment and ingredients may be a challenge but that's part of the fun!

Thanks PistolPatch,

I tried to register the name 'chinabrewer' but it was already taken..perhaps there's another chinese brewer lurking around.

I've been in contact with an American in Shanghai who brews beer and wine, carries lots of Briess malts plus European malts. 20 varietes of hops, Wyeast, White labs, Saf..prices are high especially for the malts $USD 7.50/lb!!! so I am hoping to get malt for half that price.

Since I live in southern China, keeping fermenter temperatures low may be my greatest issue. I can leave the A/C on in the room, but a purpose built fermenting cabinet to keep temps 18C-21C (64-70F) looks to be a better alternative.

On holidays now, hope to eventually make some contributions to the thread. Does anyone know what happened to 'The Commentary'?? I was looking forward to a good read with that.

Hi,

I've never brewed from grain or extract before but I've made various ciders and cider-meads, and beer from 23L pasteurized wort kits. I've had excellent results from those wort kits, and I intend to keep using them once in a while. Then again, 23L is a lot of beer for me...

I've done a lot of pressure canning and I own a good 21L kettle I use to make soups and sauces. I figure all I need to start brewing all-grain is to sew up a bag and try the Mini-BIAB method.

I hope to be able to brew 10-11L of wort in my 21L kettle. I don't want to go larger than that as I want to avoid having to buy extra equipment. I don't intend to brew often, a couple times a year at most.

I hope I can find information here on this forum that will help me start brewing...

Thanks!

Hi All,

I've been lurking for quite a while, so I guess coming up to my first brew I should do the decent thing and say hello

I'm living in Amsterdam and am really looking forward to my first proper biab. I've done a couple of extract brews before, but it's a bit like making bread from a bread mix - and I want to to the real thing. Very excited about BIAB as the ability to do small batches with minimal equipment suits me perfectly. I'd like to start by brewing enough for a crate of beer at a time - small enough that I get to brew quite often, and large enough to enjoy the results

This site is a great resource - the amount of knowledge here is amazing!

and so the journey begins.
I have been doing kit an kilo for around 15 years and about try something different.
I have successfully been doing grain mashes for spirits for about 2 years now and thought I'd try it out for making some beer with biab. hopefully it won't disappoint.

Hi all,
I'm from North Queensland and have come across this site while researching biab. Looks good so far. I've been extract brewing for the last year and pretty happy with the results however just want to get a little more variety in what you can make. The biab process surely looks an easier way to go than the original ag.

I use to homebrew 20 years ago when going through uni but knowledge and products were very ordinary hence the beer was very ordinary.

Look forward to leaning heaps.

Thanks for the site!

Hello!

I have been brewing a little over a year now and switched to BIAB 2 batches ago! I absolutely love it. I have been a member on HBT since early last year. I enjoy IPAs and Belgians. My next batch is going to be a split 9 gallon batch with half being fermented with an american ale yeast and the other with a saison yeast I just recently brewed with.

I look forward to learning from the many experienced brewers we have here and will give insight and knowledge as well!

Cheers!
Kenny

Greetings Fellow Brewers,

I'm a long time home brewer from the south east corner of Wisconsin.

I stumbled onto this site when researching electric brewery options (yeah, very tired of freezing my 'nads off in the Wisconsin winters). I really like the single vessel BIAB setups I've seen on the site.

It's going to take a while to digest all the great information here. I hope to contribute some meaningful information myself as I forge on ahead.

Slainté,

Robert

Hello From Central Jersey,

I did my first AG/BIAB batch this past weekend and it went well in some aspects and no well in others. I don’t have a good way to measure how much liquid I have in my post, so I put way too much water in. I’m hoping that it still comes out decent. Im pretty sure I started with the non-sparge amount of water and then sparged also. Other than that I very felt comfortable with the process. I’m hoping the BIABacus will help with the water issue.

I already have my second batch planned. Just need to get the grains.
