Hello all, I'm from Central Florida in the US and have been a homebrewer off and on for about 10 years. I went all grain last year via typical 3 vessel round cooler mash tun. I had actually gone back from AG to extract recently because my brew day got too long and complicated so I'm hoping this will let me cut some time and aggravation from my brew day.

Hi, I'm Brodie from Perth, WA. I have done a couple of BIABs, and I'm now looking to refine my technique/improve my beer a lot. Working on a "brew rig" that will make life a lot easier on brew day, and for bottling.

Hey All!!! I am new to brewing, just a couple months and once I learned about BIAB, I knew it was for me! It will fit my limited space and I think it is a way to be differant from most brewers, buck the system I say!!! Looking forward to learning alot from everyone here.

Brew on!!

Hello!

Am a second generation brewer, coming back to the hobby after not brewing for 10 years. Thanks all for the brew in a bag system, awesome time and money saver, I can't wait to get started!

Cheers.

I live in Missouri and have been extract brewing for a little over a year. I ran across information about BIAB on YouTube and got interested. This is a great site and I am looking forward to learning more so I can get started.

Thanks

Good afternoon everyone.

My name is Walt Hodges and I live in Ankeny Iowa, USA. I've been kit brewing for 5 years. I've experimented with specialty grains, but my results have not been very good (actually quite bad - but drinkable.)

Up until now, my brewery was a turkey fryer on a propane burner. This should have created good brews, but when one does kits, the results are not any where close to spectacular. I have grown dissatisfied with this and performed a search of the WWW. I am currently on the last stages of building a brewery based upon the excellent work of Kal at http://www.theelectricbrewery. A single 9 gallon vessel. Heat is from electricity (4500 watts (18.5 Amps @ 240 volts). Temperature control is +- 0.5 degree C.

Searching the WWW led me to the BIAB concept, and thence to this magnificent site.
What a treasure trove of knowledge and experts eager to share their experience! I have been reading the posts and other tidbits. I can't wait until my brewery is finished so that I can give BIAB a test drive.

I will post as my brewery is finished and will post my first attempt at a BIAB.
Respectfully,
Walt

Hey all,
I've been extract brewing for a bit now and was looking into ways to start having more control over my brewing (and more fun) by getting into AG, but was somewhat intimidated by the equipment and short on space both to brew and store stuff, and stumbled across BIAB via another homebrew site. I've since made myself a bag and given it a shot, and had a blast, and am pretty much here looking for ways to make better beer and have more fun doing it.
Thanks,
Braden

Cheers,

Hi from Canberra

I've been brewing with extract and steeped grain for about 4 years. Finally decided to move to all grain. Came across BIABrewer at the recommendation of my local home brew store owner and it looks to be a great way to brew without having to purchase all the additional equipment. Looking at attempting my first BIAB brew in the next few weeks.

Cheers,
Adam

Hi from NZ

I've been brewing with extracts at the moment and browsing around for an intro to all grain. Stumbled on this board through another and interested to learn a bit more about it

Cheers,

I am from Greensburg IN.
I have brewed a few 5 gallon extract batches and they have all turned out well. Mostly ales and one lager, an Oktoberfest that is my favorite so far.
I just acquired 3 kegs to make an all grain setup but started reading about BIAB.
Now I am thinking I might start with BIAB and use two kegs as fermenters.
I am thinking I need to get about 10 gallons of Kolsch going for after the yard work this summer.

Hi Folks
I'm from Southampton, UK, and I can across this site as it was recommended by BIAB brewers on a UK forum. I am hoping to move up to AG eventually, but I was reaaly interested in this method....I'm sure I'll have questions about sparging/not sparging, or efficiency rates and the like....but they can wait!

Cheers

Hi,

Im from Christchurch, NZ and taing the step from extract to BIAB.

So far ive got all my equipment and heading to get some grain this week and hopefully start a brew this weekend.

When Im not drinking my own Im drinking Becks, Guinness or Green Man Wiskey Bock.

Found the site via google; looking forward to trying a few of the recipes out.

I'm from Sydney and have done a few stovetop BIAB's. I'm looking to get an electric urn soon and upscale.

cheers,
Andrew

Hi from Dublin, Ireland.

I've done a few extracts and kits at this stage and am now firmly hooked on the hobby. APA was best so far.

Got all my gear ready for my first all grain (BIAB) brew + new corny setup - I'm wondering if the all grain factor makes much of a difference compared to extract to the final product. I'll find out soon!

Looks like a great resource here.

Cheers

Greetings from Washington State!

I've been extract brewing and just finished my 9th batch (a Maibock) which used a mini-mash. I outfitted my bottling bucket with some insulation and a used large strainer bag and the mini-mash process went well. So, it got me to thinking about moving to all grain! I don't have a lot of storage space, so a 1-vessel AG solution sounds quite appealing...

Looking forward to learning more about BIAB!

Greetings! I'd like to introduce myself: My name is Cameron and I'm from Massachusetts, I found this site looking for a caclulator for BIAB water volumes and such, and followed a link here form homebrewtalk. I've brewed four batches so far, all extract/specialty grains and I think BIAB would be the perfect way to get into all-grain.

Being a masters student and an electrical engineer I really thrive on thorough calculations and research, and it looks like this site has a wealth of info for me to sort through.

I look forward to becoming a member here!

I am excited about a BIAB community. Have been researching it on and off over the last year and did one BIAB style brew attempt and it worked great.
