Hello I am new to BIAB. I have done 3 brew session so far and the process works great. I brew 5 to 6 gallon batches with a electric recirculating system. I able to keep my mash at 0 to +1 degrees. On Monday I will be brewing a Bavarian Hefeweizen but this time I'll do a 4 step mash. Protein rest at 100, another at 122, then hold at 148, then mash out at 170. Anyone ever do this with BIAB?

jtmwhyte,

Welcome to the forum. Your past brewing experience will help you here. Some of your past will have to be discarded, some reinvented, some tweaked? I was a 3 vessel all-grain brewer. I read all I could in books and on line. Now I spend time unlearning and myth busting. I am having more fun then ever!

Jon M. here...
I started brewing while living in WA. Started with extract/steeping. I had quite a setup, as the bug bit pretty hard.
Since then, I've moved to KS, and had to sell my entire setup, including a three tap kegerator.

I'm now working with 2.5 Gal batches in a BrewDemon (upgraded Mr. Beer?). It looks like BIAB is just what I need to get started with AG on this smaller scale.

So far, this site has been amazing. Thanks for the excellent organization of the site, and obvious spirit of camaraderie I've seen so far.

Peace!
Jon

jmciver,

Welcome to the forum. BIAB is simply amazing. All-grain brewing with all it's advantages without all the work and extra expenses involved with 3V. You hit the jackpot!

Hi, i'm Dave from Biggar in Scotland. I've been making various hedgerow/vegetable/fruit wines since i was a wee lad and did a couple of 5 gallon full mash brews a few years ago now with cobbled together equipment. I had decided to try to put together a dedicated 3 vessel 5 gallon brewing set up but there's currently no room in the garage (and, although i enjoy a good pint, i don't actually drink that much of the stuff) so i started to think about scaling down. As i ferment my wines in 1 gallon demijohns that seemed a logical brew-length to aim for. a bit of googling led me to the (obvious) conclusion that BIAB is the way forward and i ended up here. thanks for having me!

biggardave,

welcome. Your situation is very typical. No room or no money? Both sicknesses are cured with a dose of BIAB. Their are a lot of good BIAB'ers in Scotland. (I don't know where) But they are or have been here! Welcome again and read what is written on this site. You can disregard the crap I say as I am only here to attract female brewers!

Welcome aboard Jt :peace:,

BIAB is a fully fledged all-grain method so as soon as you do your first BIAB, you will be an all-grain brewer!!! BobBrews above, myself and many others used to use multi-vessel systems for our all-grain but now only do BIAB as we have found only advantages to it.

Have fun,
PP

Hi all.
I'm a kit brewer from Cork, Ireland and wanted to get into all grain brewing. I started looking for basic all grain set up and found biab....genius! Just got to get a huge kettle and I'm off. I've got amarillo hops in the freezer looking for a pale ale recipe.
Thanks for setting up this site.

Welcome to the site. You will be adding to it in no time. I love those Amarillo hops. Do them justice!

Hi all! Brewer from Florida, USA. Been brewing since 2004 (although that included a ~3 year hiatus in the middle). When I started with all-grain brewing, I went straight to BIAB. So simple, so easy.

Welcome all, We are the end all resource for Good beer, easy brewing, inexpensive and with little storage needs. It's rare when something that sounds good "Is good". BIAB is that rare exception.

Hi all! BIAB and 2 vessel brewer from Milwaukee Wisconsin. Been brewing for about 7 years and have been doing various forms of all grain systems for most of that time. Mostly I brew English Ales of various types and a specialty of the house is a sour mash Berliner Weiss.

Hi Everyone,

Really excited about getting into BIAB.
I'm been steadily reducing the amount of gear I need to sustain my brewing operations. Also just recycled a ton of glass in favor of a small kegging system. Currently using a three vessel system to do all grain. Heard about this site specifically on Basic Brewing Radio. I'm in Brooklyn, NY. Looking forward to getting a proper BIAB bag since all I have that comes close is a paint strainer bag from the hardware store that's way too small.

Looking forward to learning more about BIAB.
