Howdy all,

I'm based in Calgary, Alberta Canada. I've been home brewing for a little over 10 months now. I started out with meads, and ciders, but could not resist the siren song of beer. I did a few extract brews and a couple kits, but soon realized that I wanted to go all grain. I heard about brew in a bag on the Basic Brewing podcast and liked the idea of one pot and less equipment. In my quest for quality information I discovered BIABrewer.info and quickly signed up.

I've done two BIABs now working my way through grain bills and scaling on my own using a variety of online tools, but I think I'm going to try the BIABacus this weekend when brewing a steam beer.

I look forward to exploring all the nooks and crannies that BIABrewer.info has to offer.

Hi guys

Chris here, based in West Yorkshire but originaly from the brewing capital, Burton on Trent. Brewed from kits years ago and have done a few wines but never all grain brewing. I read about BIAB on another forum and was pointed over here.

Haven't got the equipment yet (though have a hand pull set up in the kitchen ready ) but have seen some videos of people doing small batches on top of the cooker so am going to reduce a recipe and give it a try and then get a boiler built.

Expect lots of newbie type questions over the next couple of months.

G'day

I am from Canberra and have been kit brewing for a few years and want to step up to all grain brewing. After researching the web BIAB seems like a great method and very simple. My brother has done a bit of BIAB and gave me the link to this site. The site looks like it has a consoderable amount of great information and I look forward to reading all the info. I will be looking for a good recipe to do my first BIAB.

THanks for a great site
Phil

Hi all,

This is my first post. I've been brewing for quite a few years mostly extract and partial mashes. I'm doing my very first all grain brew in a bag today. Along with that I'll be doing no chill for the ultimate lazy day brewing session. First style will be a 2-Row/Citra Smash. Wish me luck!

1. Where are you from? - Portsmouth UK
2. How did you stumble across the site? - Reseaching biab tutorials online
3. What you think of it so far? - Good, nice to know theres a big community of people doing the same thing
4. Have you brewed at all before? - Yes ive done alot of kits with LME and DME, but recently i got a 32 litre pan and a mashing bag. So im going to try my first all grain batch soon.

My favorite beers from the shops at the moment are; Goose island IPA, st. Austell proper job, badger's golden champion and hopping hare. brewdog punk ipa is another favorite, and i was given a few kernal brewery ones which i thought were brilliant.

Im sure you will see me around asking silly questions and generally making a drunken fool of myself

Cheers!

Good day people!

Bryan from Texas here.

I just started brewing in the fall of 2013. My first three brews I used the three step method... so many kettles and steps involved..ha..

THEN I kept seeing this... BIAB..... what is BIAB? Finally I found the right thread at another site and it was a great revelation. My last 4 brews have all been BIAB and have gone, very, very well.

Now I want to learn about the no chill method... and a google search brought me here.... duh... of course there is a BIAB dedicated forum/information site on the web!

I look forward to learning a lot here. Thanks!

Hi,

Simon from Nr Banbury, very new to this, have a 70 liter BIAB system with 2 fermenters, I have tried an SNPA clone which is conditioning atm, but I am concerned it will have too sweat a taste for my palate. I have also brewed the Amarillo clone I found on Biabacus I adjusted the volumes to my system and its fermenting now.

I find the Biabacus useful, and for the time being i want to use 'others recipes' to get my brewing better.

Any advise would be really appreciated.

I really like strong IPA beer 5% (Hoggleys IPA was a favourite) American style beers, fragrant hops, Jaipur, Goose island the list goes on & on & on!!!

Hello all! I am super excited to start BIAB-ing. I have a few extracts under my belt and I'm ready to venture off in the all grain world. I have limited space in my apartment so I will most likely do some mini-BIABs. So excited!

Hi all,

Martin from West Sussex (UK) here. I have a few extract brews under my belt and now having just moved house and finally finished the renovation I now have the time and space to start moving into all grain brewing! BIAB'ing looks great and am excited about getting started. This site looks really helpful perfect and just what I need to do some research when I am waiting for my kettle to arrive!!

Hey guys! great site here...looking forward to more BIAB information!
Thanks!

Brazilian over here!
Manage to find the website while searching for BIAB brewing techniques and its really helping me out so far.
I just bottle my first beer (BIAB - belgian blonde ale) and went ~ok hahaha

Thanks Adman1966! I think BIAB in Brazil is not so common, but maybe I find some here ahhaha
Sure I will ask some questions, I understood that brewing is an engineering actually, cause it's not just following recipes. So many variables that lead to different results, such an amazing topic to study
