Anyone use bayou classic steam basket when brewing BIAB?

by scoundrel

I'm getting a large ss bayou classic brew kettle for christmas and it comes with the steam basket. I have a BIAB setup and would like to use the basket for simplicity and to take the stress off the bag when brewing 10+ gallon batches. I was wondering if anyone has tried this. I'd specifically like to know if it protects the bag from burning and if the wort burns in the gap between the basket and kettle. Any and all input is most appreciated!

I think you will find it more trouble than it is worth.If you have a decent quality bag,go with that.IMHO

Good Day, As Lylo said ...it can be trouble, But if yoy get a stock pot larger than 80 Quarts and plan a double batch, the basket will keep the heavy bag from burning and really help lift it and hang it.

I should have mentioned that. It's 82 quarts and my 8 year old can sit in it. I have a very strong bag but 36+ pounds is alot of wet grain. I think for 10 gallon batches, I should have plenty of room. I have several heavy duty bungee cords to assist me in lifting it to a steel crossbar.
