I've been doing BIAB for about a year, and prior to that had collected a fair amount of gear aiming toward a 3v, at christmas I got a 10 gal igloo cooler for my new mash tun. So today for the first time I rigged up a gravity feed in the kitchen, using just 2v, so so impressed with myself hit all the numbers, and the day was smooth and easy bar a minor boil over (mainly due to my impatience, I had waited 20 minutes for the boil to start, felt it was taking too long and so I put the 2400w ots in, well that brought it to full boil over in like 90 seconds). It was a long day had to wait for my brew assistants to have their nap but both were well behaved, mashed in at 9:30 and was all done bar the washing up by 3:30. Wort chilling in the ferment fridge 80% efficiency(brew house) and starter is ready for pitching in the morning. Now the conundrum is I'm still getting parts togeather for my brauclone, after today I think I might need to get some work done on the old 18 gal tooheys keg I have in the shed and get a pump or two. Then finish the CFC.
Any one doing biab and thinking of heading down this path, I can only say give it a go, was a really enjoyable day.
Pics to follow prolly tomorrow
