More like mash in a bag then BIAB, Used 25lt Esky as Mash tun, infusion mash for 90 mins then bulk sparged tea bag style for 15 mins. Used wedding veil materal for the bag instead of swiss volie worked a real treat. Looking forward to get a biger pot for bigger brews, only have a 12lt pot at the moment.

Too cold outside today, so my half-batch of Pilsen Spills BoPils was done on the stovetop, which made maintaining the mash temperature a little bit too easy...

My second biab is away! much quicker cold break and extremely clear into the fermenter with the help of a modified small grain bag to catch hop residue :beerbang:
Huge improvement on the first one,

New member to Forum hello! had a few beers tonight feeling jolly, first batch was half sized, was crap OG 1030 with 2.5 kg of grain at 11 litres FG 1010 hmm... beer flavoured water.
2nd batch brewed tonight OG before yeast addition 1050, with another 2.5 kg - 11.7 litres (actually used a mill to crack grain this time instead of blender) should give me a better result
still doing kits and stuff will move into full AG batches once I buy some more stuff
Misses sewed me up a sleeping bag bag type bag (I think that makes sense)
Enjoying AG ,thanks for making it easy to get into,
just reread this post probably should not go on internet after so many beers

My silicon hose turned up today after id allready chilled. so the next batch ill be trying the no chill method.
Because i brew fairly regular the cost of ice and the hassle of going to get the ice all the time is annoying.(especially after a few beers)

The copper tubing is way to expensive..

i most probably will build an immersion chiller if i find the no chill method is affecting my beer etc etc.
But id have to work out which way to go about recycling the water first.

So im going to do a no chill either tomorrow or satdy using a low alcohol batch that im brewing for my old man.

cheers kingy

I've taken to having a 100litre storage box sitting out the back full of percarbonaty water for soaking bottles. Last couple of brew days, I've put my NCCube into it. Tomorrow, I will add 5kg ice I've made in freezer in it towards the end and I'm set...

Donya Hashie :super:

My goodness guys! We've got Kingy, Murcluf, Patobeermonster and Harry_Rmbler (well, I just added Harry) who have all just started BIABing.

Kingy we have known about (how'd the whit magic go?) but the other guys have come out of the blue.

Anyway you guys, it's great to see your names up there. I think us BIABer's are getting a little slack at welcoming new troops and need to lift our game a bit :(

I know we'll hear from Harry soon (he has a hangover at the moment) but I'd love to hear from Murcluf and Pato as to what got you guys under way. If you get a chance can you write something in the main BIAB thread for us?

That would be tops! I'll whack a quick note in the main thread now...

Congratulations guys,
Pat
