Biab - Now Available In The Usa

[PistolPatch]

Just got the following PM from ThirstyBoy....

Hey PP

I finally got around to announcing BIAB to the Brewng Network forum in the states.

Here's a link to the giant post I made to introduce the topic. No response as of yet (its been a whole ten minutes!!) so I dont know if they will go nuts, go feral or largely ignore it.

I'm gonna push it little though just to make sure it doesn't dissapear under a tide of indifference.

Wish me luck

Thirsty

A totally exciting moment for me but looks like I have to take another one for the team...

I have visitors, am doing a brew (NRB's All Amarillo APA) and don't have time to read the friggin' thing!

What do the US guys reckon? What's Thirsty's post like?

Please, tell all!

Will kick the visitors out asasp,
Pat

P.S. Hope the above makes sense - written in one minute fragments!

Maintain the rage PP!

When you move back to QLD, I'd love you to show me and the dogs in the Man-Shed how to BIAB. I'll even use sanitiser. Maybe!

PS. Sheep love me.

That link didn't work for me. Perhaps it was This?

 

[InCider]

PP,

Just finished Thirsty's post - you didn't rate a mention! Didn't you write it mate? :huh:

Edit: spelleringness.

Cheers Blackbock.
Top read!
Pistol Pete, Great work summed up quite up eloquently, don't you think.
Got to love the pioneers.
BIAB is a great concept and you have opened the door even for sceptics like my self.
Cheers Matti

PP is going to be famous.

All that typing / talking finally paid off.

A lot of people made BIAB posible. The first guy was AndrewQld who did the first full-volume mash. This opened up a lot of possibilities. There's a few other troops and hopefully I have given them credit in the BIAB thread. There are also others that I haven't - sorry guys, getting there!

Blackbock: Have tried to straighten up the link in the first post. Hopefully it will work now.

Johnno: LOL! I'll foresake being famnous as long as THirstyBoy answers all the American questions - answering the Aussie ones takes up half a week!

Spot ya,
Pat

P.S. I'm now going to read Thirsty's post in full so don't expect any more replies from me here! Oh! Forgot! I have a brew to put to bed as well! (Hope I haven't forgotten anyone but my brew awaits!)

It certainly is a good article, and they seppo's seem to think it's a great idea.
Well done to all who have helped with BIAB, i am dying to get into AGing and this is going to be the way for me.
Anyone have a 50l pot they would like to donate , or know where I can "find" a keggle to use <_< .

Brilliant, the BIAB method deserves to be spread.

Even if not completely and utterly proven to make top-quality AG beer, for the price of a kettle, burner and a bag, BIAB beer sure craps all over extract brews, if only just in the meantime before a proper system can be afforded.

The more people we can bring to brewing AG beer, the better.

Can i ask a stupid question?

From a book ive read it states that in the US they use un-modified malt, which requires step mashing. (Grain is grown for a shorter period of time before roasting).

If they are making brews using the US grain, would they need to use a different method of mashing to us locally?

If im completely way off on this please let me know

I think it mightbe an outdated edition...? From what I gather on the BN forum, most of the US guys are single infusion mashing. I think their malts are higher in DMS though, so maybe not so good for no-chill. Not sure though.

Incider - Well, I was sorley tempted to lay the blame on I mean give credit to, Pat. He shouldered the lions share of the work in the BIAB thread, championed the cause and wrote the guide... but as he said, he didn't do it all, or come up with the idea. So I tried to paint the picture of a collaboratively developed process. A technique that evolved as the result of cooperation by a community of brewers. I think that that is what BIAB is. PP is without a doubt one of the leading figures though. I hope that people will follow the links I posted to the AHB threads and read. Then they will of course be in no doubt as to the vital role Pat played in the rise of BIAB.

Thank god it looks like the Yanks seem to be receptive to the idea. Kind of thought I might be starting a **** fight. Not getting too cocky yet though

Not such thing as stupid questions, only stupid answers <_<

As I understand it they have access to the same malts as we do, they get Weyerman (spelling ?) after all.
Some malts in general benefit from a stepped mash, and that;s true in Australia as well. For the most part, unless you're chasing the n-th degree of refinement, the difference is the same if you just do a single infusion.

Now wait for all the corrections to my generalisations

Do we really care what they think of what we do here in God's Country? If they don't like it then its their bad.


cheers

[Sammus]

good work, they all seem to like it. except that bub character, he seems like a "********" himself - bloody ******. Or is there some tongue in cheek implied that me and my beer influenced head arent picking up on? :unsure:

 

[ant]

Testing what Pat?

 

[Kai]

Do quarantine know about this?

 

[browndog]

I reckon it is bloody crook that Pat didn't get a mention on that Yank website. The guy has spent hundreds of hours researching, compiling, posting and advising others on this site how to go about BIAB. If any of the Yanks were really interested in the procedure, Pat would be the main man to be able to advise them on the ins and outs of the process.


cheers

Edit: removed the last bit, totally unwarranted

 

[Fingerlickin_B]

Yep, I agree BD
