With my full extract experiance id email em the grain I needed 2 days in advance, go pick it up thursday friday take it home chuck it in the fridge...

Ok so we dont really do a protein rest then a saccharification rest? Just do single infusion to saccharification rest temp hold foe 60min and then mash out? If BIAB is as simple and straight forward as it reads and produced quality beer as reviews should suggest I cant see myself going to a...

Awesome :) Sounds like other then grains im good to go with a BIAB batch :) Im excited. Except the fridge I picked up the other week for turning into. Keg fridge keeps tripping the gpo switch to the house. Grrr

Aha awesome. So you suggest I stop worrying about the bottom then? I bought these bulldog clip peg things from bunnings just before. These will do the trick? http://www.bunnings.com.au/craftright-150mm-metal-spring-clamp_p5860149 No risk of damaging the bag when suspending all that weight?

Ok yeah cool ill get the gear from spotlight and clark rubber :) The pots pretty thick but id hate to ruin a batch so I might make a false bottom for it. Ill have to give the BIAB softwear ago. Does it cost anything or is it a free program thing?

I was actually thinking I could get a fry basket/ big colander that I can pull out on a rope on the garage door rails and then I can sparge that way to. I dont really know just spit balling ideas as ive never done it and it seams an easy step up from what im already doing in full extract

As in go by the material from spotlight and sew it up? How much is a bag usually? And tjey reusable yeah?

Yeah I dont have a bag nor a false bottom (do I really need one of these?) But pretty much everything else. Would everyone suggest sparging the grain? Ie using some water over the bag as ya would when steeping grains? Haha I currently brew in the garage. No spiders yet, the dogs seem to like...
