biab

Hi there, I'm gearing up for my 4th brew (BIAB) and I've decided to delve a little deeper into the intricacies of the recipe... Some recipes on brewer's friend will give an assumed brewhouse efficiency percentage with the specific recipe. However, other recipes (particularly ones on a homebrew...

Hi All, I am new to all grain brewing, having tried extract previously. I am dipping my toe into BIAB while I get my bearings. Just a couple of questions from my first brew: The recipe I used from Grain and Grape, is for a 20 litre brew, with a start volume of 27 litres. My fermenter volume...

Just getting started with brew in a bag and am looking for a kettle, approx 30L. Must have b-valve. I’m OK if it’s a bit bashed around/has cosmetic damage as long as it’s in full working order. If you have any complementary kit let me know as I might be interested. Happy to collect from...

Hi there . I am a new brewer in the Upper Hunter NSW. I have just bough some gear to BIAB and to tell you the truth im green and keen on the subject. I have done malt extract before and wanted to make the step up and had a few general queries i thought some old hands could give to me simply...

Hi Guys, Ive just gotten back into brewing beer (been mucking around with meads for a few years). I have recently stuck a G&G US IPA FWK into the fermenter with Wyeast 1056. Planning on dry hopping with 80g of citra tomorrow if the ferment has really slowed down. Given 1056 was not a cheap...

So i have a heap of spare grains i want to use up. I have these malts left 3.5kg Castle Pale Ale Malt 0.4kg Caramunich II 1kg BB Medium Crystal 0.7kg Victory I would love to put them all together and see what it ends up being but i would think it would be something of a biscuity, bready...

Hi, I have brewed from a can for a few years and am now trying BIAB. I grabbed a recipe from a site to try and it tells me what to do when creating my wort but when it comes to fermenting all it says is what yeast to use and when to dry hop. I would have thought you would ferment with...

Hello All, I am trying to understand why when I do BIAB's, it seems that the bottle conditioning is failing. With slightly odd flavours and most bottles not having any bubbles or head! I have done the same recipe on my father in laws normal kit (giant stainless pot, burner, esky mash tun) into...

Hi all, I've been brewing kits for a few years but now wanna get into all grain to really learn this fantastic craft. Time, space and $$ are an issue for me so will be doing mainly small batch BIAB. Cheers, Anthony

I’m new to this brewing caper and not in the least bit apologetic to admit to it… I’ll give you a quick run-down on my yet to be tested system then ask the underlying reason for my post. 40 Litre Electric Nano BIAB pot Grainfather Pro fermenter Magnetic stirrer and associated stuff and a couple...

Caught up with an old brewing friend who lives in Darwin. He told me of a BIABer up there who spilled the whole boiling kettle on himself, spending 3 weeks in hospital with 3rd degree burns. An injury like that will lead to a lifetime of disability. This has given me a hell of a pause for...

Hi! After a lot of reading and studying I made up this recipe for a Belgian-saison-style beer and I have a million questions, as usual. Light colour, dry and a little hoppy. Mostly pilsner with a little bit of caramunich for colour and flavour. East Kent hops ("floral, lavender, spice, honey...

Having recently discovered maxiBIAB, it occurs to me that the potential yield of a BIAB system can be expressed in terms of: Pot size in L Grain yield potential in points per kilo per litre Mash efficiency Liquor-to-grist ratio OG required This would yield a number of litres that can be...

My mate and I have been BIABing with his 35L pot and getting on quite well. I have a crap-load of fermenters and a temp-controlled cupboard that can hold 2 ferms at a time, so the 18L length constraint most software places on this 35L pot has been chapping my thighs a bit. There's a few hours...

Hi guys, I've just purchased a fridge for fermentation and rigged it up with a temp controller. I'm also trying to fit two 30L fermenters in the fridge, one above the other. One is plastic, the other is stainless steel. The only thing I'm currently struggling with is space. I didn't really...

I'm hoping to locate a suitable tap/ball valve assembly with long enough stem for fitting to an Esky. I have my doubts about those "weldless" eBay offerings because they seem to be more for a stock pot conversion and don't have much faith in these very ordinary things... Any guidance on this...
