Hi All,
I must confess I've been reading/learning from this site as a guest for a while and thought it's a bout time to join in. So far am very impressed with the way all the senior brewers love to jump in and explain reasons for this and that in an understandable way. I have been brewing on and off (lately more on as addiction is taking over) for a few years. Currently setting up a 50litre keg with 3.6kw element and a bag to give this BIAB a crack. I'm in Margaret River, WA and am lucky to have some top notch breweries close to home which I frequently visit. I work on a rig so want to rip in to some double batches so have plenty of reserve in stock. Well done to all the crew involved on a sweet user friendly info centre for creating beer.

Hi All I'm Mike I live in Center Point,Iowa USA I found this site at Homebrewtalk.com. I think this site seem straight forward and easy to use and I really am interested in trying some of the things you guys do here. So far I have done a couple of extract with steeping grains kits and a batch of apflewein and am thinking about doing a few half batches with the minibiab technique. I do work as an accountant

Paula wrote:Hahaha, if one can cook, one can brew beer. I'm a pretty good cook. I guess few women like to make beer, but I enjoy creating things, and it's a fun hobby to do with my husband.

I also figure that if there's a method that exists that is very, very simple and still gives excellent results, why one earth would anyone want to intentionally complicate things with unnecessary equipment and steps? I have a feeling that Americans in general just like to acquire "stuff" and seem to ENJOY complicating matters. I prefer keeping life simple.

BIAB is going to be the perfect solution for me to get into all grain. All-grain brewing is also much cheaper for us compared to extract brewing. That, combined with the beautiful simplicity of BIAB, is what made me decide to switch over and try BIAB.
Nice post Paula. "Beautiful simplicity of BIAB," is a quality phrase as it has so much truth in it.

But, I think you are putting you and your fellow Americans down when you talk about a tendency to complicate matters. It's nice of you to do so but I think many of us brewers, regardless of nationality, enjoy complicating matters. I have certainly done it and have a room full of plastics and plumbing to prove it :roll:. Sometimes idiots like me have to go through all the complexity to realise that simplicity is beautiful.

Looking forward to more of your posts Paula and I am sorry I didn't reply earlier but I was a bit worried about ianb's post above where he says he has been enjoying sampling different, "bears," for what I think, in any nationality, must be quite an inappropriate number of years :interesting:.

I have personally never, 'sampled,' a bear but ianb, L2wis, eeyore, mcgrec and redm18, welcome to the forum and I'll look forward to your fetishes whether they be about bears or beers.
:lol:

Hi all,
Fairly new to brewing, about a half dozen brews under my belt, all extract kits so far,some with additonal grain. I just stumbled across the biab method reading another brewing forum. Been wanting to get into AG just because it seems like there are more recipes are out there.
Snow and freezing cold here in northern indiana, usa. I'm looking forward to my first biab!

Hello all,

I am from Atlanta, Ga and have only brewed two batches so far.

I have a small apartment and I am looking for an easier way to get started doing partial grain and then eventually all grain brewing.

I found this site through beersmith and I am hoping that this site will expand my knowledge of how to brew better beers.

My favorites are American IPAs and Czech Pilsners.

Cheers,

Brian

Hi,

First poster here.

South African, I actually work for a global brewer (in Marketing, now Brewing!), and wanted to learn how to make the products I am trying to sell!

Started with 3 Coopers Kits (Draught, Cerveza and Canadian Blonde), got some inspiration from the NPD Brewers at the office, and i am doing a BIAB brew this weekend. Got my hands on some Crystal Malt, some Perle and Cascade Hops, a ton of Caramalt and I am almost out the gates to do my first BIAB Brew.

Came across this resource looking for recipes, and have been pleasantly surprised with the tips on here...should be sewing my bag this weekend, and giving it a test run.

Thanks in advance to everyone involved.

Hello,

I've been a homebrewer for about 10 years in Columbus, Ohio. I started all-grain about 2 years ago, and have been attempting to find ways to get some consistency. I am now building a RIMS system, which can easily be converted for BIAB brewing. I'm thinking about calling it the RIBIAB!!!

Cheers!
Chris

I'm from Barcelona (Spain) and found the site while I was searching for a method to do an AG batch without investing too much money. I brewed just an Extract + Steeping batch about a month ago and got hooked. I work as a sysadmin so if you need some help just ask.

Post #486 made 14 years ago
well! i have been brewing full extract for bout a year now and feel its time to make some progress on my hobby,
I live and work in Belfast as an engineer.
the last few months i have been sourcing new equipment as i have decided BIAB should be my next move, 33L pot on the way and am making my own wort chiller,
In the fermenter at the minute is a copper ale by muntons, bottle day is sat.
the forum looks excellent full of need to know stuff, look forward to learning the BIAB ropes

Hi my name is Alan and I live in Auckland, New Zealand (little place on the arse of the earth), I have been brewing extract for approx 4 years (this time, and for about 2-3 years approx 20 years ago).

I was in my local brew shop the other day and saw a bag in a brew kettle and thought what the... surely this can't be done ! after a bit of research I can see it is a much more productive way to brew AG than using a brew sculpture.

I have three old kegs in the shed and have set about cutting the top off one to make a 50L boil kettle (was going to make a three tier but see this is now too much like hard work)and hopefully this will be reasonably easy but I think the saw may use a few blades in the process... The missus has said she will sew me a bag to fit and I have all the other required equip ready to go in the brewery/distillery the other half likes to think of as a garage (although a double gge the car does now not fit.... how sad, too bad,nevermind)

So all going to plan the first BIAB will take place in 2 weeks (ish) and I can see from the threads here if I have a problem help is not too far away for a remedy.

Hello, first time poster short time reader/brewer.
Only a couple of extract brews under my belt but now looking to get into all grain mashing. Starting with a simple kitchen setup and this site looks like the place for the method and recipe (before I start experimenting). Look forward to contributing to this great forum

Howdy crew

I live at Taradale in central Vic, miles from any sort of homebrew shop. Work as an ambo. Have knocked up a few K&K and K&B beers and a few all-extract ones over the last 12 months. Have had heaps of good assistance from the good people at Oliver and Geoff's HB&B forum, and have heard of the wonders of BIAB there. No BIABs as yet, but I have a 50 litre keg with the top cut out and a tap in the bottom, a voile bag my sister stitched up for me (with a couple of hop-bags from the off-cuts :cool: ), and a cube and couple of fermenters. Just need a heat source, and I am good to go. But I will have questions....

Muchas gracias

Big Dave

Hi all,

My name is Mike and I live in Maryland in the U.S. I've brewed two extract beers and eight partial mash beers. I'm looking into all grain and want to try BIAB. This looks like the place to start!

Hey All - Wellington New Zealand.

Kit brewing for a couple of years and keen to make the all grain move.
Found out about BIAB through googling recommended stockpot sizes for an All grain brew. Lucky for me I didnt fork out for small pot before finding this site!

cheers Matt

Hi ALL

I am from Winston-Salem North Carolina USA. Joined the site to learn more about BIAB techniques. I am a new brewer. Just bottled my first extract kit batch last week.Plan is to move to all grain pretty quickly.

Post #498 made 14 years ago
1. Where are you from? Mobile, AL. USA
2. How did you stumble across the site? searched "brew in a bag"
3. What you think of it so far? too soon to tell
4. Have you brewed at all before. If so, for how long and what method are you currently using? been brewing for over 1 year, current using extracts, liquid, dry, hopped and unhopped
5. Do you work? Are you retired or maybe you run a household? work for a construction company

I have looked at BIAB before and I think that I am ready to give it a try so I am reading up on it now.
