Hello everyone! Im a 34 year old Swede thats fairly new to brewing. 3 biabbatches done, and like many others i started brewing with kits. Friend of mine told me about this site, being the best source of information for biabbrewers according to him, im sure i'll come to agree with him, looking good already

hello from israel
all ready brewing for 4 years all grain, in the last year star to think about biab, beacause problem of space, i dont have a room for brew, so every time it's take to much time!!!, but the love for brewing is strongest
but i do a couple of batches in biab, and start to like the process, perfect solution
so guy's from biabbrewer. info, thank for the forum

Hi everyone. I'm a fairly new brewer - started in December and this weekend will be my first biab and my first non-extract brew. I've ordered a new 15 gallon Megapot 1.2 and I'm planning on doing a blonde or possibly a SMaSH. I want to keep it simple, while brewing something I will enjoy drinking. I've downloaded the trial of BeerSmith and I'm currently reading through the post here. I think I have a decent understanding, but I'm eager to try it and figure this whole thing out. I guess my biggest questions will be starting water volume, how much to stir during the mash, and how to avoid burning the bag if I need to apply heat during the mash. Anyway, nice to meet everyone and thanks for all of the great info.

Goulaigan,

Thanks for the info! I've heard of people putting a stainless steel colander in the bottom of the pot to avoid burning as well. Does that work or is it best to just go ahead and lift the bag? Do you insulate your pot during the mash or just apply heat as possible?

Meant to say - do you just apply heat as necessary?

Hi (judging from the amount of Aussies on this forum, I should probably say G'day) fellow brewers. I am from Cape Town, South Africa. I am a lawyer by day and a veteran of three brews (one fermenting, one conditioning and one in the fridge), all biab.

Hello!

Hi All,

Andy from Leeds in West Yorkshire, UK here. Onto my 4th batch now - a clone of Bank's Bitter.

Hi All, Oliver here from Melbourne, Australia. Just looking to do my first all grain brew this weekend after some pretty average extract brews. Soaking up as much knowledge as possible!

1. Where are you from?
Kent, England

Looking for help converting a 40l Buffalo into a BIAB brewery

3. What you think of it so far?
Really helpful content. Can't wait to get my hands on biabacus!

4. Have you brewed at all before. If so, for how long and what method are you currently using?
A few dozen kits, a couple of failed extract brews and one BIAB kolsch which is in the FV and smelling fantastic

Hi IM from Northumberland UK and semi retired due to health so loads of free time came across the site after scouring google for BIAB info and looking forward to reading the info here , done a few kits and planning to go all grain/biab the end of this month thinking of using a kit first few times then trying my own recipe once ive gotten my head round it

thanks

Hoy,

Beer loving Norwegian that stumbled across a link to this forum on a Norwegian home brewer forum. Brewed my first 2 extract in the late 90's, then didn't brew at all until I started brewing all-grain a couple of years ago.

Currently resided in the western parts, close to Bergen.
