Biab Bag Stand

[Dazza_devil]

Actually, you have just given me an idea! I have a few mentrs of 14w/m heat mats that I wrap the fermenter in and connect to a tempmate. Might put this between the pot and insulation to apply a small amount of hea tto the system and help maintain the temp. Im expecting a small prob maintaining temp since the pot is 75L and I will really only be brewing 25L batches. The heat mat should help.

Sounds good, for the sake of this thread I'll start another on insulating your SS pot since a search didn't come up with much in one place.

You and husky will probably end up throwing your bags away and just brewing in a basket . This is how the Braumeister machine works. You guys would probably enjoy reading this thread. mimeryberg posts about the Braumeister in Post 138. He also explains it some more in this thread.

Not really - the braumeister doesn't use a basket at all, it uses a solid sided cylinder with perforated end plates... This gives a totally and fundamentally different dynamic to the mash/liquid separation step in the process. The brewmeister acts in essence, exactly like a traditional mash/lauter tun, whereas a basket will act more like a biab bag, which is a simple type of mash filter.
