[reg]

After seeing the BIAB demo at G&G a couple of weeks ago decided it was for me.
Got my bag all sewed up with a drawstring, got my 42 litre urn and am in the grain book at G&G.
Just have to get a container so I can brew and then no chill.

Cant wait to pop that AG cherry.
Thanks to the guys who did the demo at G&G for showing me how easy it can actually be and taking away a lot of the apprehension.
By the way I was the guy who was asking a lot of the "beginner" questions about iodophor and cleaning etc.
Thanks for clearing up a lot of stuff.

 

[Thirsty Boy]

Our pleasure,

Let us know how it goes. Any questions don't hesitate to ask. Either over in the man BIAB thread or PM.

Six litres of APA (Australian Picoswill Ale)! With the failure of the 2008 Pride of Collingwood crop, we had to import hops for this batch from Northcote. Don't talk to me about the global hop crisis!!!

Finally got my ag gear all together (was a struggle) I am a truckie and get only 1 full day and 2 nights at home a week

Started with Pacific Pale Ale in the RecipeDB, 2nd brew was the same with US05 instead of S04. Third was same again with US05 and only cascade

Now that i can have total control on what goes in the brew i need a better understanding of what different ingredients do, hence the same recipe

First taste tomorrow when I dont have to drive (weekends are time to play catch up)

Thank you to everyone for the great information on AHB for getting me this far!!!


Cheers Mass

enjoy the fruits of your labour!!

I think this is an excellent strategy. Not only because it results in a metric shed load of beer but, as you say, it is a great way to understand what is going on. Mind you, there is a world of different ingredients out there - you might have to brew some more...

Another go at a German black beer. Tried a double crush on the grains, will see tomorrow, after not chilling, if I got any better than the usual ~78% efficiency.

A 15L batch of 10.38 50% wheat 50% pils to be used as a base beer for a Berlinnerweiss. It was supposed to be 1.030 ...but my efficiency after a dunk sparge and a thorough squeezing of the bag was about 92-93% rather than the 75% I calculated for!!! Guess I'll just end up with more beer at the end after I blend back with the sour wort and add some brett into it.

Another standard size batch of Southern English Brown Ale. The last lot is drinking real noyce and is comparatively easy on the liver. I figured I just have to.

No sparge. Quickie Mash-Out. Big Squeeze. Easy clean-up.

A German Black Bear, based on a recipe by some bloke called Jamil. Cube currently under ice getting down to pitching temperature as a post-prandial activity...

I've made a couple of 10L batches since attending the last BIAB demo at G&G.

So far I've made a Mandarin Hefeweizen and a Golden Ale

I only have a 19L cheap-o pot from BigW and it suits my needs nicely. I like the method, but have yet to taste the results (I only bottled the hefe last night). I reckon it's less messy compared with extract brewing and the ingredients are far easier to handle (I used to buy my LDME in 5kg bags).

Oh - re the swiss voile fabric. Check out the offcut bins at spotlight. I picked up enough of the stuff to make 4 bags for $2....

Thanks for getting me started guys!

Cheers,

Tim

Just tried my first BIAB... was so easy and everything went perfect. Hit my OG dead on target. Bock here we come!

Just one random thing... There is alot of sediment already.... hop sludge I'm guessing. Filtered alot out, well I thought I had. Chil went from boiling down to 20 deg c in 24 mins.

Cheers, Tae.

A standard sized of batch pale ale with lots Nelson Sauvin flowers, quite a bit of Amarillo and a weird array of malts.
