Hey guys, don't know if this is good or not but i saw in the Rays fathers day catalouge they have 40L Crab cooking pots with a strainer/collander type thing that fits inside it with a handle, looks perfect for BIAB or some type of HB application, they're $99

Here is a pic of it, do you think they would work well for a BIAB?

You can pick up a 60L aluminium robinox pot from allquip for the same price, you don't get a basket with it though

You could line the strainer with a swiss voile 'cylinder' made to fit exactly and, assuming the handle on the strainer is strong enough, then hoisting would be a dream, you could use a lever arm arrangement or skyhook.

Endless possibilites here. Get a tap hole drilled, add some gas and you're BIABing Don't know much about gas but I assume you could get away with one of the cheaper burners.

Edit: in fact you could probably line the strainer with very fine flyscreen type metal mesh and have an all metal 'BIAB' arrangement. Wow that would even get Darren's approval

Edit: if you did the above and lag the pot with camping mat or doonah you could use it as a conventional mash tun in a 3V system and after sparging whip out the strainer and dispose of the grain cleanly and effectively with a minimum of cussing.

An extra $150 you can buy an urn for BIAB

Some brewers already have gas, however and it might suit them. However can't beat the urn, hey.

I bought one of these last week and have ran 2 brews through it, and having the strainer made BIAB even easier than what I am used to.

The strainer sits about 1.5 inches off the bottom of the pot, so there was no issues burning the BIAB bag during mashout or anything like that.

Whilst the Aluminium is not the thickest I have seen, it is certainly more sturdier than some other bargain basement, SS pots that are around.
The handle holding the strainer is reasonably robust. I found it very easy to lift the strainer / bag out and hang off a hook. I then was able to get a SS pot lid and press down on the bag inside the strainer to squeeze out as much wort as possible.

So for the cost I have found it worthwhile.
