Hi all, I am from Standish, Maine USA, and have been doing extract and partial mash brewing off and on for years. But recently saw a video on the brew-boss which got me curious about biab, as I have always wanted to try AG, but do most of my brewing in the winter and garage to cold. Now I am interested in setting up an electric BIAB kettle, and taking brewing to the next step. Hoping to learn about the build and the brewing system from the info on this forum.

Hi guys.This is Kostas from Greece and I'm ready for my first BIAB,

Hi All

Sticking to the suggs, Im from N Lincs in UK, retired and a kit brewer. Am thinking about AG brewing but dont want a load of kit to mess with, so I thought BIAB would be a good way to go. It seems to me that for about £150 I could get set up reasonably well, so why not.

I saw this forum reced on a youtube vid so came here to get some info and tips, at the mo am looking mostly at kit. At first glance this forum looks ideal for me but one thing I dislike about it is the very small fonts. Would have thought that more appropriate of a lawyer forum :-) Big friendly fonts is what you want for a brewing forum. Still what do I know :-)

Thanks for reading - Jo

Hi guys

Brewer from the UK here. I've been brewing kits/extract for a couple of years, and I'm looking forward to moving into all-grain. This is partly motivated by a desire for better quality, but also because 23l batch sizes are too much for me, and I want more control of my batch sizes.

I'm currently armed with all my extract equipment and a 15l stock pan (bag to be purchased). Looking forward to making some beer!

Hi all! I've spent the last month pulling together materials to build my BIAB setup, will be attempting my first AG brew this week! (A Stone & Wood pacific ale clone). I'm from Melbourne, Fitzroy- plan on heading to the Merri Mashers meeting later this month!

Hi! My name is Royce and I live in Northern Victoria.

My first brew was a ginger beer kit that tasted awful (not enough sugar I think), and worst of all I was stuck with 20-odd litres of the stuff. My second brew (many months later) is a 5L Stout extract recipe that is currently fermenting behind me . Fingers crossed it turns out well.

I'm keen to make my next brew a BiAB. Will probably stick to 5L recipes.

Hello from Grants Pass Oregon!

Been brewing for 4 years now. Joined the brew club upon moving here a year ago. One of the officers introduced me to this site...super excited to BIAB as a way to transition to AG.
Spreadsheet is super awesome!

Hey All, I am Chris and I live in NJ. For a while I wanted to get into Brewing Beer and skimmed the topic of home brewing a little bit. Unfortunately I had some misinformation on the length of time it takes from a beer to go from wort to drinkable so I was a bit scared off the topic as I am a little impatient (I originally thought it was 3+ months!!!).

During a Holiday party at work this year my VP was talking to me about how he used to home brew and cleared up some misinformation I had, then for Christmas a relative gifted me a "Mr. Beer" kit which I completed January 1st. Since 12/26 I have been reading and consuming as much information as I can to get into home brewing. Early on in this binge of information I found a post on brulosophy about BIAB and it just clicked for me (and that's where I heard of this site). Since then I have ordered a "beginner kit", a 30qt kettle and hopefully everything else I will need to begin home brewing 2.5g batches with the BIAB method (except bottles, need to get bottles). Now I just need to find a basic recipe that would be really difficult for me to mess up, yet still enjoyable to drink haha. My goal so to say is to make a nice coffee stout using coffee from my favorite roaster.

Hi, Dirk here checking in from Haarlem, The Netherlands. Just finished my first 'Brooklyn brewshop' batch - and I'm ready for more. More brewing and more volume :-) Was a bit put off by all the 3 vessel systems you'll find online when looking for brew info. But I found some info about BIAB, which looks pretty good to me! Working out a 10 Gallon / 38 liter setup...

Hi All,

My name is Dave, I live in Auckland New Zealand and have just got back in to home brewing after a long break of some 28 years!
Have brewed 4 extract kits with reasonable success and have decided to try BIAB as a step into all-grain brewing.
Still building the kit needed for my first brew. So far I have a 35L ss. boil pot, a 3-ring burner, and some grain and hop bags. Next piece of kit to get is a chiller, not sure if copper or ss is the way to go, price seems similar. I know copper will be more efficient but not sure if will give a copper-taste to the beer. Any advice appreciated.

Cheers
Dave

PS also looking for a good easy recipe for first brew!

Hello, homebrewers! I'm Jamie from Maryland and an on-again, off-again homebrewer over the past couple of decades. This time I am brewing in the bag, because my wife got tired of used-barley muffins the last time around.

My interest in things medieval inspired me to try a London dark mild recently with just two-row and chocolate malts. The bag worked great for grains and terribly for pelletized hops. Would you recommend cheesecloth for the hops or whole hops? I am eager to try an Altbier without crystal malt, as the London mild has a distinctly tangy flavor. Ales without crystal malt are an unexpected territory for me, very refreshing and thinner.

Hello Everyone! I live in Belgium. i've been kitbrewing for 3 months now and have a Belgian Strong Ale, a Belgian Abbey and a Diabolo in the bottle. Looking for all grain brewing BIAB seems to be my favorit choice
