biab

Hi this is my first post here, but I've been reading the forums for some time.... What a great community you have, I'm pleased to finally be a part of it. I've been brewing for about 3 years now with my Grainfather. But it's time to move on! Problem is I cannot produce enough beer for my...

Hi Everyone, I am desperately after some helping with making my first 11L all grain BIAB recipe. I opted for 11L batches instead of the normal 23L as I want to experiment more. The goal is to then get an all in one system in the future. I tried to go onto Brewers friend and create an equipment...

I have a Klarstien Mundschenk XXL, 50L capacity. It struggles with small beers or small batch size, because it's got a generous dead space at the bottom. In addition to this, with "the right" amount of water in, it often runs a fine line between no re circulation and running dry. I've also...

Hi, When brewing this morning, I was in another world and not concentration, and after the mash for my BIAB brew, I upped the heat to get to the boil and left my grain bag in. It took me about 5 mins of the boil to realise this (I can't believe I made such a daft error). Will this ruin my IPA?

After years of making beer with extract, I'm thinking of trying an All Grain recipe. I don't have room for any specialist equipment so I'll be trying Brew in a Bag on my stove. As I understand it (please correct me on this if I'm wrong) once I've sprouted my barley I need to kiln or bake it...

Hi All, First time commenting/starting up a thread, but for months I've been scouring the forum and seeing the progress and ideas of others and their brew, and how helpful everyone seems to be, which has inspired me to finally move from extract to AG. I'm a stereotypical case of having read...

I'm keen to know if there are others with biab brew systems that struggle to stick to recommended mash thickness in recipes? I tend to find that I need to have more water in to mash the grain in my grain bill. Has anyone experienced the same? Does it matter? I'm struggling to hit ideal OGs and...

Hi all, I've got a part grain recipe I want to try and wanted to know if there's any reason I couldn't do it in a Brewzilla system? I can imagine I might have to dilute the extract in my brewpan before it goes into the system but wanted to check and also find out if there's anything else I...

Hi All I'm planning my next brew and have decided on a Czech dark lager, but all the recipes I've been looking at so far either have a decoction mash or step mash required. This will only be my second all grain (and will be a small batch BIAB) and fourth overall, so I'm a baby brewer. I've...

I've now brewed a few batches in the starter kit that I first purchased, and am very much enjoying this new hobby. I'd like to invest in some equipment to allow me to increase the size from the current 5l batches to somewhere between 10 and 15l. I'd prefer stainless steel over plastic or glass...

I brewed my first BIAB batch at the weekend and I'm not too sure how it went and have a few questions. I bought a Brooklyn Brew Shop recipe kit to make an Elvis Juice (BrewDog) clone. The instructions were for full all grain brewing so I tried to adapt the process to brew in a bag. I added in a...

Hi, So I just brewed my first batch, using a Brooklyn brew shop Everyday IPA 1 gallon kit. I have brewed 5 gallon batches with a friend in the past, using his all in one system, but this was my first solo brew. I think it went well, and I'm already thinking about my next batch, and what I would...

I have just got myself a used Swan SWU20L tea urn (20L) that I will use for BIAB. There is no heat adjustment, so I may have to rig up a PID to maintain a constant mash temperature. After reading reviews on Argos, it seems that it will not maintain a rolling boil without some modification. Has...

Hi all, Soo, I have just been gifted some new equipment, I have an ACE 30l 2.5kw hot water boiler which has been adapted with a half inch ball tap and a false bottom. Plus a peco mash bucket which I plan for my sparge water. I want to make this recirculating for the mash with a 12v DC pump...

BACKGROUND I have a 55 litre Stainless Electric Boiler - single element that I plan to use for BIAB. I bought large because I wanted to be able to make batches big enough to mature and share without running out. I can add a second element in the future if the single element really does my head...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any experience of brewing in a basket. This is similar to the following... https://www.kegkingdom.co.uk/products/brew-in-a-basket?variant=22941717955 I'm going to make the step up to all grain next year and think the BIAB method is best for my circumstances...

bought "20 Ltr Gas Boiler with Tap, Hop Strainer and Thermometer" yesterday from "the homebrew shop" and did my first brew on the same day (Black IPA). started with a disaster, as manage to ruin thermometer thread attempting to tighten it to get rid of a leak (the boiler is a "self...

I'm currently going about assembling the equipment to build both a boiler and fermentation fridge. I intend to then make some beer using the BIAB method. My boiler will be of similar design to the PECO boiler with a capacity of around 33 litres. What is the best way of going about making...

I have one of these kettles for sale, used only once and then I changed from BIAB to a Robobrew (kitchen stove couldn't handle full volume boils too well). Seems a pity for it to sit in the shed; so would rather someone else gets the use of it. RRP £64.50 From "The Home Brew Shop" site...

As per the title... ....Ive tried a few kits, but now want to move onto all grain kits, so does anybody know any decent lager BIAB kits to try? Would be great if anyone knows a good peroni clone kit or birra moretti clone? Thanks in advance
