Hi All = Adelaide here, while I don't BIAB I've been full volume mashing [2v/gas] for quite a time. My system is 3 tier so most of the time now the top shelf is used for storage.
Looking forward to exploring the site.

Hello all from Spain
I know you by homebrewtalk and searching BIAB
I´ve been brewing for a year with kits and grain and I will move to the fantastic BIAB system.
I need an electric equipment, so, Highgravity BIAB or picoBrewing are the only systems that I know. In some weeks I will start!

chiller,ewach,feldberg,
Welcome to the forum. BIAB is cutting edge stuff. Well, as much as a bag, a pot and a heat source can be considered edgy? No matter how you got here? You are in the right place.

Hi dkrolak (Don)
Welcome to the home of BIAB, the best and easiest way to produce simply outstanding beer! I assume as a maths teacher you have an organised and analytical brain? Then brewing will be childs play!
Get stuck in and read as much as you can and you will see how much fun this is!

Just getting into BIABing after getting bored with kits.
Just ordered all the necessary equipment to get started and this looks a great site for relevant info

Looks like I'll have to get drinking

Hi Gary and welcome aboard!
If you spend the mentioned waiting time researching as well as emptying your bottles you will be ready for that first BIAB brew.
It's a lot more rewarding than kits and the beer is better. What more could you want?
If you require any help, just ask. We will be pleased to help you on your journey to great beer!

Hi.
Keith from Edinburgh, Scotland. Have brewed a couple of brews from kit and found it a bit basic. So stepped up and did a couple of Brooklyn Brew Shop 1 gallon all grain brews. Did a bit of research and decided to look into stove top mini BIAB. Not many more overheads and a simple way to do maybe 2 gallon brews.
I like the idea of trying smaller brews to get the chance to play around with recipes and not worry about ending up with gallons of rotten tasting beer!

Hi all, My name is Russ from just outside of Atlanta Georgia. I have been brewing for a while, mostly partial mash recipes. Lately I have started creating my own recipes and last week was my first BIAB. I'm hooked on BIAB after one brew....it's a very good way IMO to make beer. I can't wait to try my first batch (Irish Red) I see mostly BIAB in my future and 11 gallon batches ...... Looking forward to spending some time on this forum.

Hi all, Phil from Melb. Found this site googling BIAB! Saw a great demo on BIAB at Grain & Grape a weekend ago by Dan Walker. This seems like the bees knees for me. I've been brewing k&k and extracts for near 6 months. AG always seemed too far to reach until now. Starting to look for an urn...

hello all,
I clearly have been lurking for a while but Pp inspired me to join the ranks (I was public43) for anybody who was following that thread.)
Who am I and what do I brew?
I am the swmbo of the house, but also the Brewster. It's funny reading your stories of convincing your wives to let you buy that fermentation fridge or allow you to have the space for a larger kettle. I have to convince the husband of the same things. AND he has to help me carry it.
I've been brewing for about 3 years, 2 biab. I recently bought the electric kettle from highlander brewing, so I guess that makes me ebiab, though I don't recirculate. I live in canada (hence avoiding brewing outside in the winter), and my brew logs are a ridiculous mix of metric and imperial. I'm lazy so I don't chill but leave it in my kettle overnight. I take some pre-boil wort, water it down, and make my starter out of that. Next evening aerate, pitch, clean up. Preferences: I dislike ipa's and smoked beers, I like everything else. I think that's it, nice to formally say hello.

Hey toklas/public43! I'm glad you've decided to move from lurking to jumping in and I'm glad that PP's posts helped convince you.
There are several no-chill brewers here, so you should find kindred spirits.
I'm looking forward to reading your posts!

Hi all,
I'm Richard from Edinburgh in Scotland. About 20 years ago I tried making some beer from a kit and having succeeded in creating something with the cloudiness of wheat beer (it wasn't a wheat beer) and the taste of old socks boiled in vinegar, I gave up. I didn't have much patience back then when I was a young 'un, so I am hoping (or maybe hopping) to have another go now that I have spent 20 years tasting other people's creations here in Edinburgh.
I am interested in AG but probably via BIAB and things I have in the house which will limit me to a very small kettle - 9 litres. Currently I am trying to workout if I can do this and how to change the recipes to achieve it. I have spent the last couple of days looking through articles but I have many more to go.
Cheers,
Rich

Hi all,
Jester from outside of Hobart Tasmania.
Did a couple of kit brews maybe 15 years ago then nothing until a mate won a chance to brew (with the help of a professional brewer) our own beer in a Braumeister late last year. He invited me along and now I think I've got the bug. Been reading/watching heaps of stuff relating to brewing and that's how I stumbled upon this fantastic website, what a wealth of information. Just today purchased a Crown 40 ltr urn and have most of the other things I need (I think). Probably still a couple of weeks away from doing my first biab but really looking forward to it.
Cheers

Did the same thing when brewing extract with grains in the Kitchen with no dedicated equipment, and no chiller. Near the end of the boil, turn down the heat just enough so as to anticipate not causing a boil-over, and then put the lid on the kettle; the steam escaping out the sides sterilizes the kettle's walls and lid. Once the boil was over, take care not to lift the lid, as opening the pot breaks sterility and potentially lets in germs. Next day when it cooled, poor it into the fermenter and add yeast. Truly one kettle brewing, and the simplest: "BIAB no-chill no-cube"!toklas wrote:... I don't chill but leave it in my kettle overnight. ... .
This may deserve its own forum post.
Also really a fantastic idea to "... take some pre-boil wort, water it down, and make my starter out of that. Next evening aerate, pitch, clean up. ..." But why not use the boiled wort, just before one puts a lid on it, as its sterile at that point?
