Congrats on your first biab, I just finished drinking my first keg of biab on the weekend and loved every drop!

Great to hear it was fun and games! I still have a laugh when I brew, probably because I now feel confident enough to have a couple of brews during the process, which I never did when I started out.

You will love that beer like no other. Keep a bottle aside to have in a years time if you can, and savour the moment.

As I write this, I have just found a year old bottle of Munich Dunkel I made, and it is more incredible to drink than when it was made.

I love being able to make my own beer, and BIAB makes it so simple, quick and comparable to any other system!

LOL :). Good on you jim and wizard. I hope you brewed more than you drank. (I used to have LloydieP and his old girlfriend around here on brewdays until I realised that even brewing two batches didn't cover what they took home in their stomachs. My goodness!)

It sounds as though you had your hands full jim but got there in the end. Next time (???) you knock over the water, don't worry about going to the shop for more. If your house water tastes okay, it should be fine for brewing most beers.

Thanks for the update and the laughs,
PP
