I need to get a larger pot to get biabing and wandered what size i would need, I was initially going to get a 33l thermos pot from mrlard but he said this is really only for mashing in as it repels heat to certain extent.
So i only want to end up with 13.5 litres in my fv and am not really interested in 'BIG' beers, i know a lots of people argue that the bigger the pot the better , but i've been doing these amounts for extract for the last 2 years and have found it a good amount for me, i generally brew hoppy apa's around 5%
As i understand it i want as little headspace as possible in my pot as this will help to maintain a steady temperature whilst mashing. I was also going to make a sleeve for my pot from that insulated foil bubble wrap stuff, then make a 'bag' from the same stuff to surround around the lot.
From this beer Beer engine read out it looks like i could just use a 20l pot but not sure if this accounts for any losses (trub,evaporation etc) i still cant really get to grips with biabacus, but know i will need to.
An example of a recent extract recipe i'd like to use for my first biab is here, i'd replace the extract with some marris otter[URL=http://s829.photobucket.com/user/o ... .png[/img][/url]
