[mention]PrivateWiddle[/mention]: Welcome aboard Liam. My mother's side of the family came from Cork to Ozland but it was about 200 years ago so you may not know them . Small batches can be trickier in some ways and easier in others. The scaling is easy with the BIABacus (looks scary but it's not really. Just ask for help if you get bewildered), it's more the measuring out of small amounts of yeast and hops, taking gravity readings etc but that's all easily overcome.

[mention]pozolero[/mention]: Welcome aboard to you too pozo. One of my sisters lived in Mexico for about 5 years. Between Liam above, yourself and me, it's a small world! Sorry it's taken so long for you to find the site. It was founded by the pioneers so you're in good hands here. The site is a bit messy but it's being worked on so just ask any questions if you can't find the info you're looking for.

Hello [mention]Moorey[/mention] and [mention]sockgoblin[/mention],

Welcome both of you to the BIAB forum!

There is a ton of excellent information hidden in all the different posts and answers on this site. I would start in the BIAB for new brewers section, even if you have considerable brewing experience. It would be the place to start, and good place to come back and re-review again as time goes along. Other pages have good additional info for sure...

Let us know if there are any questions.

Nice to see everyone today! Welcome to our forum...

Hello Tryhard and welcome to the forum! There is a heap of information available here. Let us know if you have any questions.

Welcome, ZacharyCosta.

This is the place to learn. Please see the https://www.biabrewer.info/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2685 Clear Brewing Terminology page so that we can use the same language.

Then read lots. Read this forum, read other forums, read and collect recipes that sound interesting to you. Over time you will see that you have certain preferences and some others of your saved recipes will never get brewed. The favored ingredients list from those good recipes might get narrower or it might explode. Either way, you will be learning. Pay attention to what you think you like about any new beers you taste. After some brewing experience you will figure out how to modify your own technique to make beer you really enjoy.

Ask questions.

Hello SurfBoy66, and welcome to the site!

Look around the site. Lots of very useful info here, and let us know what questions you have!

Hello, SGP7, and welcome to the forum.

Ask questions, you will get answers.

Welcome back Lylo. Good to see an old hand coming back!

Hi Lylo,

good to hear from you again. Hope all is well.

[mention]elbowbend[/mention] : Hey there Lylo! Great to see you are still brewing . The altruistic goals of the site (to discover, create or pass on quality brewing info) remain intact since you last visited however the, "Goliath's of IT," really slow things down. Basically all we need is for all members to stop brewing and start working for Microsoft and Google. Hold on, I think there may be some problem in that logic?

[mention]Zenaber[/mention] : Welcome aboard Garrett. If you are new to brewing and can get hold of fresh wort kits (sometimes known as Brewer's Wort I think in some countries???), you can get brewing with certainty and quality straight away so don't discount that option. Learning about brewing is exciting but can often be confusing. While this site is working towards making everything easy, there is still a lot of work to be done so dive in with any questions you have.

[mention]singlefished[/mention] : Great to hear you've already done the fresh wort kits and I imagine you've had excellent results from them. (Btw, ten years ago they were unheard of.) Now, the only thing that has me worried is you mentioning drilling holes in your kettle this weekend. Hold off on that and do some reading instead. I have two 70 litre kettles. I brewed with them for years without holes, then I drilled holes in them and then, once I'd realised it was a major error, I had those holes repaired!

So, click on the search button top right twice (at time of writing). This will get you to the advanced search. I just typed in "holes" and "time" and 27 posts came up written by me.

So, read before drilling
