Hi All

After much reading of this site I'm Planning my first BIAB Brew for the weekend. I've got A few kit brews under my belt but couldn't resist moving on to all grain.

Hi Everybody!

Loving this site! Just bottled my second BIAB today, while drinking my first, and looking forward to bottling my third next week. All thanks to the awesome knowledge in these forums!

I started brewing 20 years ago, took about 15 years off, then six months ago picked it up again with a vengeance. I had only ever done partial extract brews and decided that I wanted to 'step-up' my game so I bought a nice outdoor burner and 10 gallon kettle and went to town. My first 'recent' batches were full-boil extract kits that turned out great, but I was itching to get into all-grain when I stumbled across this site. BIAB seemed a LOT easier to get into so I went for it. I can't believe how good it's turned out!

If there are any folks reading this, sitting on the fence over BIAB, I say go for it! I'm convinced!

Hi guys,


I have recently started brewing again ( been away for about 20 years) and started again using kits. I am really keen to get into all grain and recently listened to the Beer Smith podcast, BIAB down under.

Anyway keen to learn more and potentially take the next step into all grain.

Cheers Ed

New to all grain. Live in the UK. Excited to find your site.

Hi All.

First post and I am excited continue my brewing adventures. I'm excited to start BIAB and have heard nothing but great things about this site and the BIABacus. Can't wait to make great beers with you all.

Cheers,
Scott

Hello all, been viewing this site but never registered. From North East UK.
Done a few kits brews, and turbo ciders, wow wines and only one biab which is carbing as we speak.

(My) First Post! Hi. I've been brewing off-and-on since 1996; more seriously since 2013 and BIAB-brewing for about 12 months.

Hi everyone,
Looking forward to getting my first Brew on. Got a 40l aluminium pot on order and various over essentials.
Now a tough one...what to brew first.....
Cheers Nick

Hi I'm Richard

I'm from the UK and have on and off done brewing with kits straight from the store, so just needed my fermenter and barrel (and some bottles when I need to make more before the barrel is gone).

My brother has started his experiments into all grain brewing and has been making 1 gallon batches on the stove top, he has started expanding his kit and is into the full sparge technique, he came down with some of his kit and we made our first all grain brew together which I am now drinking and it is so much better than the kits so I am now sold.

I have been researching a lot, on a budget and limited space and like the look of BIAB as I don't have a big hob, much space to store all the 3 step equipment and what I have read here and on other forums has shown the final product from BIAB is just as good as the other methods. The BIABacus and the posts on using it have been most interesting already thanks.

So I am researching a setup for making some BIAB and have stumbled across in my price range a 32L PECO boiler with bag and wort chiller for £100. Has anyone got any thoughts on this for a starter - I am looking at making up to 30 bottles or filling my 23L Barrel about 15-16L as I won't get through any more. The bonus is a local homebrew shop has moved into the town next to me so won't be short of supplies to make the beer!

Hope to see you on here as I get to grips with everything

First ever brew being tested. I'm well chuffed - this is a cheap and cheerful pale ale that's turned out to be fruity and easy to drink, with 5% ABV.

Well..I'm hiphoria and my 5 gallon economy brew pot is tearing.
We have two 5 gallon corny kegs and I want to buy a new brew pot and make or buy a bag and start making 10 gallon batches. My next batch is #64. I've been brewing with my buddy PM with some exceptional success and some not so. We have always bottled so now we are converting to kegs, BIAB and bigger batches utilizing new equipment.
I'm trying to decide what pot to buy, and if 10 gallon kegged batches in BIAB are feasible up to 1.090 OG. I'm thinking 20 gallon pot with thermo and valve and a huge well made bag with a pulley. Is that feasible??

Hello everyone. My name is Carlos and I live in the Canary Islands. I'm a beer lover rookie . I just made ​​a batch of 8 liters by extract and has not gone very well , but I'm excited about making my own beer and learn every day. Greetings to all.

Hey Robertz64

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to try the BIABiacus, if I can figure it out
I just kegged batch #63. My first kegging..What an improvement over botteling!! I call it Hopzilla IIPA with ^^^Citra..yum! Tastes great green. 1.078 OG, 8.1% ABV and 94.3 IBU, 9.1 SRM. Sitting with 30 lbs CO2 at 74 degrees, will sample it in 2 weeks at about 48 degrees. This is my third batch of Hopzilla, the second was not as good as the first, I'm thinking we might hit it this time
In my first post I failed to mention I'm in Jupiter Florida
