Hi, this is post no. 1
I've been extract brewing in Cambridgeshire UK for about a year, and now I feel it's time for the big one. All grain can wait no longer.  I'm hoping BIAB and that the good people on this forum can help take this amazing hobby to the next level. Cheers.

Good day fellow brewers, checking in from the great white north. 

I am fairly new to brewing, but have been doing lots of reading / researching on the matter, and I am fully obsessed. I have 4 or 5 extract brews under the belt, and 1 biab in the fermenter. Just hoping to soak up some info from this site and figure out some ways to get my efficiency up with the brew bag method. 

Cheers! 

Well, I have been an extract brewer for the past 2 1/2 years, and have enjoyed every minute of it... even the stressful times. I am currently building my single vessel BIAB system, and while I would love to just "get it done" it's not as fast of a process than it would seem. I know that I don't want to go fully automated. I still want to have a hand in the process other than stirring.-No offense intended for those who may have fully automated systems.
I live in the Pacific Northwest which seems to be prime coffee and craft brew territory, and well....I'm ok with that. I'm hoping to gain more knowledge in the all grain BIAB realm and I am looking forward to reading all the useful info (and hopefully contribute some) here on the site. I think my ultimate goal is to have my own cozy tasting room that will also allow me to sell my brew (with all that required paperwork stuff that goes with it). But nothing bigger than that.
So..yeah. That's that for now. See you guys in the brewery.

Hello all,
First BIAB tomorrow morning. This will also be my first all-grain batch.
Thanks for the site!

Greetings all, my first post.  I have been a sporadic all grain brewer for 10+ years.  Over the years, I had become frustrated with the time and effort required to brew with multiple vessels.  While researching less labor intensive brewing systems, I stumbled upon a beersmith podcast discussing BIAB and BIABrewer.info and here I am.  I'm brewing more frequently and finding my consistency and quality vastly improved.  Cheers.

I appreciate the hearty welcome.
One question: why did I think BIAB would be more difficult than extract with stepping grains? It was super easy to make a 2.5 gallon batch in my 5 gallon pot. Took an extra half hour and the ingredients were cheap. I am totally sold!

Hello all!
My name is Luka, I'm from Latvia and I want to try brewing via BIAB method. I've brewed with steeping grains method before and now I'm ready for my next step. Hope I can find some support here)

[font=Arial]There's a tonne of information on this site, but your most valuable tool in BIAB will be the BIABacus - it might look scary at first, but you will get used to it and soon wonder how you ever went without it![/font]
[font=Arial]Feel free to ask lots of questions also.[/font]
[font=Arial]Cheers [/font]

I'm on my way to try it soon)

Hi Everyone
Recently started brewing with kits really enjoying it (Can become a bit addictive) looking into different options to progress my brews really like the look of biab, having a look around the site trying to pick up ideas and a bit of inspiration'

Hello, We are located in New Hampshire, USA. My wife and I have been an extract brewers for many years and am looking to move to BIAB. We have made many wonderful 5 gal. batches over the last 20 years and been able to duplicate the really good ones. We regularly make yeast starters and have harvested and washed yeast down and reused it too. After making a batch of ale that had a unique and delicious citrus finish I researched and found that the fermentation temperature was critical to us being able to duplicate this recipe. I have to admit that I have been sandbagging this site for a long time but have yet to make the jump. I have just ordered a 15.5 gallon keg and plan to cut it and make it into our brew vessel. Ideally want to make 10 gallon batches. I like the heavier bodied ales, my wife prefers pilsners and lagers. This time we are committed to following through with the process and making an all grain brew. I plan to start with 5 gallon batches at first. We mostly use korny kegs but sometimes split a batch between bottles and party pig. I do have come clean and admit that out all of the beer that we have made over the years, I have only made one batch that was so bad that it was undrinkable and we dumped it out. Steven

Hey Everyone!

My name is Mike and I am a BIAB brewer from Chicago, IL. I started extract brewing a little over a year ago and made the switch to all grain BIAB about 9 months ago. I have absolutely fallen in love with this hobby and am always looking for ways to improve my brewing. That is how I came across this site. I have heard only good things about it and am excited to see what it has to offer!
