Hello everyone! I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico and have been brewing for about a year. I've done about 10 extract batches and just completed my first BIAB last week. I discovered the site through Brulosophy as I was visitng the site. I think the site is great and has a lot of information for BIABers to use. I look forward to learning tons and making great beer! Cheers!

Hello All.

Glad I found your site.

My name is Dave and I live in St. Louis, Missouri USA and have been brewing for several years with a friend.

We welded together our current single tier three burner propane system and brew 10-gallon batches (often doing double batches in a day.)

I am very happy with the setup but it lives at my friends place and is not at all portable so I wanted to try to build a biab setup for my house.

Currently 90% finished with my electric biab setup using an 11gallon kettle and hoping to get a yield of about 6 gallons.

Based I my introductory searching and reading of this site it will become my go to reference for this new adventure.

Thanks for all the info and in advance for the help to come.

Dave

Hi martin here from the uk. Got linked to this site from a mate on facebook. Looks grate so far im a BIAB brewer with 4 brews under my belt

Hi folks!
I'm in Lethbridge, Alberta, and I've been brewing for only a year or so. I've made a few DME kits and 5 or 6 BIAB batches. I keg it all. I've used BeerSmith 2 for a bit but I'm going to give BIABacus a go on the advice of the good folks one the Canadian Home Brewers forum. I've never been good at numbers, calculations, computers, spreadsheets, instructions or paying attention, and I've muddled through alright, but I'm starting to think I might be running out of beginner's luck so I'm trying out a few different tools before I settle on one that I can really learn to use properly. I promise not to be a total pain in the butt asking silly questions.

I crushed the grains for a stout last night, and as soon as I get enough coffee into me, I'm going to try to turn it into beer.

Cheers!

Hey there,

I am 35 years old and come from Berlin, Germany. I came accross this board while reseachring the BIAB method. I came to brewing after being impressed with all the craft beers in the US last summer.

Craft beer is not that common in Germany, at least not as common as in the US. There are a few micro breweries in Berlin. But after almost trying all of them out I found it is time to brew my own.

It was pretty fast clear to me that only all grain would be the method of choice. And since I like it easy, BIAB sounded the way to go.

Yesterday I brew my first Batch, an English Style IPA. I hope it turns out good.

So, Hello to everyone here :-)

Hi everybody,
Im a German living Ireland and have done a few patches of BIAB Ales which turned out quite well.
When i turned to German brewing forums, I found that they have some really complicated and expensive setups going in order to brew there beer.
What I am really trying to do is to brew some of my familiar German beers without all the tech.

Thanks for having me

Hello,

I'm originally from the Allentown, PA area but now I live in Smyrna, GA a suburb of Atlanta in the USA.

I came across this site from a member named soccerdad who is also a member of Homebrewtalk.

I like the formality of the site and the attempts (and subsequent success) at creating a standard for a method that can potentially be complicated but really isn't at brewing all-grain.

I have brewed two extracts beers that have both been great. But I wish I knew about this brewing technique first and would have started with BIAB first instead of extract.

I am a stay-at-home dad and occasional graphic designer. I am contemplating a career change and becoming a Fine Art teacher at the high school level.

side-note: I'm currently researching my first BIAB recipe and due to my kettle size limitations I can only do 3 gal batches with the BIAB method. I will need help with the conversations from the BIABacus so that is why I'm finally posting after lots of reading.

I'm from north Texas, U.S. Found this site through a link off Beer Advocate.
I have done a few extract batches, looking to go all grain. This looks like the way to go.
Can't wait to read more and learn.

Heyho

I'm from Cheshire in the UK, found this site from a link on another brewing forum and as I'm currently BIABing (one down, many more to come ) seems like a good place to come say "hello". I've wanted to get into home brewing for years - my Dad used to make beer and wine when I was a kid - but I've never had authorisation from "the boss" until out of the blue she bought me a starter kit for Christmas :D After the kit I've jumped straight into all grain with BIAB in a Buffalo boiler, and I have clearance for a brew shed so I can brew more regularly. I'm a software developer by trade, but work from home a lot, so I'm hoping to get to the point that I'm confident enough with brewing, and have enough monitoring in place, that I can get a brew on while actually doing my day job at the same time.

Cheers!

Hi all
New to the site from the not so sunny UK
Been brewing extract kits for a while, learning from this site before I make the jump to AG BIAB & no chill.

Lucky enough to be able to drink fantastic beer down the pub (the Fighting Cock, Bradford)so loads of liquid inspiration available to me

Got pan, got no space and I still need to source a bag, what could possibly go wrong !

Hi there! I'm the new guy from southern Manitoba, Canada. Great site, been learning a lot here lately. Never actually done an all grain beer before. Only tried one kit and it kinda sucked. I've made many batches of wine from kits and from scratch and fermented everything from bread to ginger to molasses (much of it for the purpose of distilling, but that's another story). I build decks and fences in the summer and teach music in the winter and I really love a good stout and good whisky. Sincerely hoping this is going to demystify the process of making wonderful beer in my home. Got some grain sitting in the basement now, just waiting for me to fire up the pot.
Thanks in advance!

HI all


I'm from the south west of Western Australia and hopefully only a couple weeks from my first brew day, sooooo much to learn feeling a little overwhelmed but excited. looking forward to gaining knowledge form people who have done it all before.

Cheers Jase.

Hi there, I'm from Italy and I've just started the BIAB brewing way. Hope your knowledge will help too increase the quality of my favorite hobby!
Cheers
