Hi All,
My name is PJ and I am from Charlottesville, VA (USA). I came across this site looking for information on scaling up and down recipes for BIAB. I've made one BIAB batch so far and am looking to improve my process and results, but so far am very happy to have made the switch from extract.

Specifically I hope to find a reliable way to determine how to brew 5.5 gallon batches using BIAB in a 5 gallon pot with accurate calculations for the following: strike water, dunk sparge water, pre-boil volume, post-boil volume, and top-off water.

Thanks,
PJ

Hi all,

Fairly new homebrewer here from Alberta, Canada. I've got a few Brew House kits under my belt and one extract batch, looking to get into AG BIAB and I'm coming here to get the best advice on what equipment I need to get and any techniques that could be helpful.

Cheers!

Hello all. BIAB'r from the Bay Area of California. Heard good things about this website from HBT. Looking to learn even more and to fine tune my setup. So far looks like the right place for BIAB info. I've done three batches so far as BIAB and find it to be the perfect solution for me.

Howdy. I'm from Kansas in the USA and have been brewing extract/mini-mash for a year or two now. I'm in the process of making an e-keggle to let my wife have her canner back and to get out of the kitchen. I've been wanting to try out AG but been scared until I learned about BIAB. Hopefully it'll work out...

Great site.

Hi everyone,

I'm from South Africa. Came across the site searching for BIAB info.
I'm a first time brewer, and will be brewing my first batch later in March when all the equipment I've ordered arrives. I decided on brewing a basic Weissbier for my first batch.
I love all beer styles and hope to brew as many different ones as possible.
I'm looking forward to learning as much as possible from everyone here.

Regards,

Pieter

Living just outside Ottawa, Ontario (Gatineau)...myself and 2 of my buddies are all looking at BIAB as the next step in our brewing evolution. Getting a straight answer on equipment needs has been a bit of a challenge though.

Hi, I started BIAB 6 weeks ago. The light to moderate body ales are great but I made an oatmeal stout with lots of flaked oats and flaked barley and it lacks the body that the same beer has using a mash tun and batch sparging. I also noticed this with a dry Irish stout. Has anyone else noticed this? Are there styles less appropriate for BIAB than other styles? Has anyone tried a lager and had it come out well? Is this the right place to post this question?

Hello,

I'm located in Vancouver, BC and am still looking forward to my first brewday, but have acquired a pot and burner and bottles. Going to get the rest from a buddy and my local homebrew supply.

Decided to go the BIAB route for the relative ease and lower equipment requirements. Not sure what my first batch will be but eager to try.

Regards,
Trevor

Hi guys,

I am Alex from Finland. I started brewing 6 months ago. So far I have brewed with extract and specialty grains, but I would like to make the jump to AG. However I live in a small flat, so biab would be the best solution for me. I am mainly interest in brewing in a 20L stovetop, and I have already seen that there are a lot of threads on the topic. So I am looking forward to learn how to make the best out of my limited equipment.


Cheers
