    Pimp My TapKing

    So I wasnt able to fit the y-peice into the available space of the TK and breathing inyo it i noticed the stock reg had a very slow expulsion of air, i figured the co2 would leak out when no internal co2 bottle was used. so I kinda looked further into it and realised if you remove the TK factory...

    So BIAB is a thing, making the transition from full extract

    If BIABacus said start with a volume of 50lt, could I say start with 45lt and have 5lt at say 70c in a separate pot. It my strike temp was to low I could add water to get it back up or something. And im also not using a temp to hot as to hurt the grain or impart bad flavors? Or again am I over...

    Ok so instead of doing a larger for my first BIAB im thinking this one. http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/3984/cascade-pale-ale Thoughts? The BIABrewer softwear suggests a higher grain bill and hop addition and all units I convereted to metric. I plan on just using us05 as...
