Hello
1. I'm 22 years old and live in Gothenburg, Sweden.
2. I found a link about BIAB on another forum and registerd today when i installed Tapatalk on my tablet.
3. Looks good so far.
4. I brewed a Coopers kit about three years ago, followed the instruction and added sugar. It tasted really awful and i told myself i yould never brew my own beer again. But about 6 months ago i got a new boss who is a homebrewer and i got interested again. After a few weeks of surfing the web i decided i vould use the BIAB method because of the simplicity.
5. I work as a soldier in the Swedish army.

Hello All,

I live in Central Virginia, USA and have been brewing for about a year and a half. Due to the amount of free space in my apartment I have not been able to expand my operation the way I would like and a good friend of mine turned me on to the BIAB method. I'm really looking forward to starting my first BIAB batch!

i hope to learn a lot from here!

Just did my first maxi-biab, an Irish Red. Wow what a chaotic experiance. Error count was about 7. If I get a beer out of this process then it sure will be unique and if it's a prize winner then we need a new rule book.

Hi all im want more info on BIAB cant decide between this and HERMS please make my mind up for me. Thanks

Hi all
I'm from Melbourne Australia and have been brewing for 6 months with some good success
Looking forward to biab to improve even more
Cheers

My first (sort of) post:

1. Where are you from?
Madtown, WI, aka Land of the Prius

2. How did you stumble across the site?
I found a link from HomeBrewTalk.com, another site I follow regularly.

3. What you think of it so far?
Love it - great info, and quick responses to my amateur questions.

4. Have you brewed at all before. If so, for how long and what method are you currently using?
I've brewed for a couple years now; currently on my 20th batch. Right now I'm doing 5 gal all grain, but I'd like to get rid of the plastic mash cooler and do everything in my 9 gal and 5 gal brew kettles on the stove, which is why BIAB appeals to me. I've even recently ditched my plastic bucket fermenter and currently ferment in the 5 gal kettle after I finish brewing with it.

Looking forward to trying my first BIAB maybe this weekend!

OK guys, here goes....

I have been brewing beer and wine from kits for a while and have brewed a few wines from various fruit, but I am looking at starting to brew more advanced beer and BIAB seems the way forward.

Can anyone offer any advice on this 70ltr boiler? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/70-litre-Home ... d=ViewItem I am seriously thinking of buying it if there are no issues. I have some standard 23L brewing bins so I presume 70Ltrs is way big enough. Could it manage producing enough wort for two batches or would I be pushing it?

May sound daft, but is the bag only used for filtering the hops from the wort? I have seen one idea where a piece of copper pipe is drilled with 2mm holes and this is used as the filter as in this post http://www.instructables.com/id/Build-Y ... 0-STEP-2-/This idea seems easier than using a bag, but not sure if I am missing something.

And pushing my luck as far as I can, I have a last question relating to cooling. Is it important to cool the wort quickly or can it be left to cool at its own rate? If it does require cooling quickly I am debating using some coiled copper pipe with running cold water going through it. Is this a good idea or should I be looking at another idea?

Thanks in advance

Hi my name is Ticsee,
I am from Vojvodina - North of Serbia, but now I live in Canada.
I started brewing last year and BIABing about 4 weeks ago.
I found BIABrewer.info when I was searching for info about bags.
The site is really good, I have found answers to many questions and a lot of new ideas.

Hi all. Mike from Dunedin, NZ. Found your site after reading a post in Aidan's Beer and Garden blog. He mentioned BIAB in one of his recipes and having never heard of the term I googled it and....here I am.
Really keen to give this method a go as everything I've read about all grain brewing before makes it seem too complicated for my home kitchen and equipment. Can't wait to get access to the pattern for making a Voile bag then I'll be into it. Thanks.

Hi,
this is Ashish from India, i am not a home brewer nor do i have an adequate knowledge on brewing. Am just one someone who is interested in brewing. To be honest am someone who enjoys my beer but being in India my choices are limited unless i am willing to spend. There aren't any quality beer available at a decent price. And that's when i decided (even though i have no knowledge) to setup a a Microbrewery. I want to brew quality beer at affordable prices. I don't have a big budget so am trying to find as much information as i can so that i can design and setup my own microbrewery as buying the equipment's available are way to expensive.
I have been reading a lot of Brewing in a single vessel. And from what i have read and learnt about this process its sounds cost effective and looks simpler than the traditional 3 tier system. And also it occupies less space and with real estate being a premium in Mumbai it make sense to save as much space as i can.

So this is my entire story, a non brewer trying to setup a microbrewery in Mumbai India. I would appreciate if i could get some help from members here to help me achieve my goal.

Thanks
with regards
Ashish

You should probably start reading 'The basics of BIAB' in the 'MASTER GUIDE' and the section about 'Chilling' in 'CUBES'.

Thanks Richard, I'll take a look now

Hello everybody

I'm from Bergen in Norway

I found your site, while looking for information on BIAB and the amount of water needed. Needless to say, I registered since I found excellent information provided by the members of this board.

I have brewed with a friend a few times earlier, so I am not a complete novice. I am currently trying to build my own set-up and learn the skills. I am really looking forward to dig into the topic of BIAB, and hope to make my first brew in the next week or so..

3 Looks good

4 Hubby got me going on this as a christmas present. I started with a kit but did not like the results. Now have 6 different beers under my belt and only one flop. Have done partials but now am doing all grain. I am using a 7.5 gal pot but am looking to get a keggle soon.

5 I am an empty nester who enjoys learning how to do things from scratch.

Hi all,

I'm from Canada (BC) and I am about to get into all grain brewing. I have only done extract and specialty grain batches in the past. I have wanted to try all grain for a little while but have limited space where I live. When I found out that I can do all grain in a single vessel I got quite excited and decided I would go for it!

I have now bought a sanke keg and have ordered all the fittings and elements I will need to make a 120v electric keggle. I am now waiting with much anticipation for them to arrive in the mail. Hopefully I should have a fully functioning unit within the next few weeks and I can do my first batch. In the meantime I will be reading up on all these forums to find the answers to some of the questions I have been wondering about and to find a good recipe for my first batch.

I originally found out about BIAB on the HBT forums and that is also where I found out about this site. This site looks great and I can't wait to explore it some more!

Hi all,

My name is Yngve and are from Norway, but I live in Finland. My old neighbor in Norway brewed beer, and it fascinated me that it could be so good. Now I finally figured out that I will try making my own beer also. I have been surfing around trying to see what equipment I need and what method I could use. I like to experiment and BIAB seems to give full freedom without to mush work.

I was thinking to buy a 25 l kettle, this should give about 10 l of ready beer, right? Is this a OK size, it seems like 20 liter of ready beer is the norm?

Thanks for this excellent site.

Yngve
