Hi CP3 and welcome to the board. Don't let the weather scare you, I did another -20 brew yesterday, except the darn wind made it more like -30, then propane doesn't like to work so well. Space heater on the tank under a comforter works for that tho. Anyway, all the BIAB info you could possibly require and more here, and if you can't find something just ask.
Welcome to you as well robertoleao! Hopefully you find what you are looking for, but if you don't don't hesitate to ask. Lots of helpful and experienced BIABers around here to offer quality advice!

Getting my obligatory 1st post out of the way. I've been brewing for many years, 3 kettle all grain for the last 3 years. As an avid beer enthusiasts I began watching brewing TV and was intrigued by the biab episode. I gave it a try last fall and was somewhat disappointed with the results. My pale ale came out thin and watery compared to past all grain attempts. I've now stumbled across this site and have read numerous post regarding a 90 min mash. I'll be giving it a try this weekend with 2 brews: honey porter and Citra pale ale. I'll be sure to report back on the results.

Hey empinball, welcome aboard! Definitely let us know how it goes and hopefully some info on your process. No problems with thin watery beer that I know of that are specifically related to BIAB, so definitely interested to see how you make out with this attempt!

Hi all,
I'm from Winchester, KY in the U.S. and am brand new to homebrewing. I found the site through a Google search and am hoping to learn a ton from you all! I am a chemist by profession and my wife said I needed a hobby so I thought, "Why not?".
I look forward to researching and learning all I can.
Thanks!

sh3rlock, brewing is possibly the most lab-like legal activity a chemist can do at home. It is easier for us Yanks to stay in the metric system if we have lab experience. I sometimes have to go back to the Clear Brewing Terminology thread to avoid labspeak. Wouldn't it be great to brew in a good kilo lab with 22 L or larger equipment? Barring that, a simple BIAB set-up works beautifully. Get to know the BIABacus - it is almost an electronic notebook, and the product is beer!

decker520, Welcome to the board. Undrinkable beer you say? That sir is a shame, have a look around the site, readup and give the BIABacus a whirl. Maybe even start a thread with your process and recipes for those first two batches and we can probably try and work out the issues for you. We'll have you brewing awesome beer in no time!

Hello there - I'm from Brighton on the Uk south coast. I do biab mini mashes (1 gallon) and add biab mini mashes to kits to pep them up a bit.

Hey! My name is Roma, I live in Moscow, Russia. I've found out about this forum from the article on brulosophy.com. Successfully skipping an extract brewing phase, I've jumped right into BIAB. I've made two brews so far. The first one was good, the later is still fermenting. I loved to know that this site was founded by inventors of BIAB method and hope to learn a lot from here. As a main occupation I work in IT. As you can see, English is not my native language so I apologize in advance for any mistakes and wrong articles.

Welcome louis and xcllla_
It's interesting to see how BIAB is spreading across the globe. There are many greatly knowledgeable people here to help out with any questions you may have.
Don't worry about us understanding your english; many of us have spoken it our whole lives but still aren't very good at it!

Some people are like slinkies. Not good for much, but bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.

1. Where are you from?
Originally from Michigan but now live in San Antonio, Texas.
2. How did you stumble across the site?
A link from BeerSmith.com
3. What you think of it so far?
Interesting! I plan to make a clone of Wadworth 6X next. I don't have a recipe per se but a profile. I entered info into "The BIABCalculator" and it produced what I considered an enourmous amount of Water Requiered (34.39 Liters or 9 US Gallons) for a Brew Length of 18.93 Liters or 5 US Gallons.
4. Have you brewed at all before. If so, for how long and what method are you currently using?
I was first introduced to home brewing when I lived in the Cotswalds, Gloucestershire, England before it was legal to home brew in the States. I started with extracts and then moved up to partial mash. I took a hiatus and started brewing again last year. That is when I first encountered BIAB. It intrigued me since I was always intimidated by all-grain and already had all the equipment except a bag, which was soon rectified. So far I have a Sweet Stout BIAB and an American Pale Ale BIAB under my belt. The American Pale Ale is conditioning in the secondary with a white oak honeycomb stick and will be be dry hopped next week. The Sweet Stout is in the keg conditioning.
5. Do you work? Are you retired or maybe you run a household?
I work from home in the Telecommunications Industry.

Hi,
My name is Tommy and i´m from Gothenburg, Sweden and discovered this site and BIAB method in general from a Swedish forum.
I have just glanced thru the forum, but realized that i will need a couple days off! Lots of information to take in!
Brewing is kinda new to me. I have only tried some kit and extract brewing in the past.
Currently working as a Computer Systems Engineer.

Greetings from DC! Stumbled across this website while looking for BIAB info and it looks like a great resource. I've been brewing for around 2 years, but they've all been extract so far. Looking to move to all grain and, being an apartment brewer, small scale BIAB has started to pique my interest. I also work full time, so the shorter brew times are also a plus!
