Hello fellow brewers,
My name's Andy and I'm a serving Army Officer (of 25 years, gulp!) based in the South West of England. I've been extract/kit (generally partial or no boil) brewing for about a year, with results I've been pretty pleased with - mainly American style PAs and IPAs - but the most recent bottling was a Russian Imperial Stout, and have now taken the step into all grain and BIAB. I've just ordered a Peco electric mash/boiler, bag, immersion chiller and am looking forward to my first 'proper' brew day. I have been a site lurker for a few months, enjoying trying to absorb some of the ridiculous amount of knowledge and experience that lies within its membership.
Cheers!

Hey guys,

My names Mike and I just started home brewing 2 months ago in an effort to try to work my way up to brewing sour ales for fun. So far I've brewed an IPA and a dry hopped American style Red Ale. All have been extract recipes so far and in researching how to do all grain I found this! My batch sizes are 2.5 gallons so I thought trying a BIAB method wouldn't be a difficult transition. Looking forward to learn more about brewing here with the wealth of information that is available. Thanks!

I am a fairly new brewer from Ohio in the US. I have brewed two batches using extract kits. They have turned out fairly well and I am considering starting BIAB for batch 3. I found this site from listening to an episode of Basic Brewing podcast.

Hi there everyone,
My name is Sean.
Brand new brewer starting out on my homebrew journey.
Based in the Upper Blue Mountains.
Was looking to start out with a kit and kilo setup to start with but on further research think that the Biab might be a good option.
Lots of info on here to get answers to questions.

Thanks!

My first post.

My name is Ron and I'm from Mentone, CA.

On a recent wine tasting trip with my wife and friends, I decided I was going to brew some beer. A month later and I've built an eBIAB system.

It's a pretty nice setup for a rookie, at least I like it.

As soon as my equipment is clear of the last batch of extract, I'll brew my first eBIAB. Excited!

Looking forward to more fun!

Hi, getting back into brewing after a 2 year hiatus. Brewed for 3-4 yrs before that. The old kegging gear has been gathering dust, but is rearing to go!

Hi-ya!

Terry from the west of Ireland. Found the forum from the BIABbrewing website and can't believe I've missed out on this. I've brewed for a while in the States (extract and partial) and now on batch 3 and 4 of BIAB here.

Have a 33L pot (only now realizing I should have gone larger) and working on a stove top. Looking to get a large HOB since brewing with gas means outside brewing and that is not a fun option weather-wise.

-Cheers

Hi People,

Typing this from sunny Doncaster in the UK (and it actually is sunny at the moment!)
Found this site while I was googling for information on BIAB methods and it has already provided me with lots of good info.
I started brewing about 20 years ago when my wife bought me a starter kit and while I had never previously considered homebrewing I was hooked and rapidly moved onto All Grain using a couple of methods, Coolbox Mash Tun, bucket in a bucket and ended up with a 10 gallon electric system and 8 or so Corny kegs.

About 5 years ago work and family pressures meant I was brewing less and less often until I stopped totally (and stopped drinking beer) but recently I have wanted to get back into the hobby (and the beer!).

I have done a couple of kits, just finished one and another is just coming into condition, but I really want to get back into All Grain but I don't want to spend lots of money until I know I will keep it up.

So I've been looking at doing BIAB and have just ordered an electric boiler, bag, chiller and enough ingredients for a couple of brews. (I actually already have an immersion chiller but it came free with the boiler).
I'm using my corny's for dispense and have got a 6Kg bottle of CO2 so this weekend I am all ready for my first BIAB all grain brew!

I'll let you know how I get on (fingers crossed).

Hey there. Greetings from Brasil.

I´m Rafael, home brewer and BIABer from the start. I make really small batches, 5L per batch.

I´m working at a brew shop here in São Paulo. Well, not for now, had an accident, waiting for surgery on my knee. So I´m reading more than anything so I decided to write to you guys and take a better look at the BIABacus.

See you.

Hi

My name is Mike and I live in the UK, in the suburbs of London. I have been kit brewing on and off for around five years now. I have always been fairly happy with the kit results but I'm now wanting to get into making better quality homebrew, with more control over what I am making. I was considering starting with modifying kits with hop additions, but now I'm thinking that I might jump straight onto BIAB. I don't have the space or money for lots of extra kit, so mini BIAB feels like a good step - I don't mind the smaller batch size; I'll just have to have more brew days! This site looks like a great place to dig around for information and inspiration.

All the best

Mike

Hi, I'm from Yorkshire and have previously been using an old modified tea urn as a sous vide machine. This hasn't been getting much use of late so I've decided to try to revive it as a mash tun and boiler and find myself a new hobby. First ever brew scheduled for this weekend with zero experience so throwing myself in at the deep end and hoping I will swim! I've gained lots of useful insights from this site so thanks to all who've taken the time to post previously.

Hello everyone. I'm fairly new to brewing, but have enjoyed learning more about how the whole beer-making process works during my first few partial mash recipes. I have been very impressed by the amount of information on these forums, and I'm looking forward to learning more as I move to BIAB.
