Hi. Phil here. I have done a few BIAB brews and am looking to hone my skills with BIABacus. I am from Aurora Ontario Canada.
Thanks for the welcome, I'll be checking the boil capability at the weekend. I want to do a small batch first maybe 10-15 litres. Waiting to purchase a induction hob in a few months then I can full 5gal batchesPistolPatch wrote:Steve: Welcome from another Perth brewer and congrats on getting the first one under your belt.

Kev: Welcome to the show. 50L is big for a stove-top so check you can get water boiling in your pot first. Sometimes you can float a stainless steel bowl on the surface to reduce the surface area and get some boil vigour happening. For small batches, cooling the kettle in your laundry sink/tub will be fine.
Thank you Yettiman for your welcome. This site does look rich and I'm pleased to have joined the community. I am indeed looking to insulate my wife found some boiler insulation stuff in the attic and I am going to start with that.Yettiman wrote:Welcome Tullaroan, sounds like you are well on your way.
I too went with a 40l boiler, (mine's a Burco) and modified it to give a constant boil. Love it. Works really well.
Are you looking to add it a 'space blanket' to help it retain heat during the mash. I can reconmend using the padded foil insulation or simply an old duvet, both have worked for me.
