Love your work BribieG
Your guide answers all of the questions I had before my first BIAB job. Only thing I can point out is that squeezing a bag full of hot grain cannot and should not be done with bare hands. So heatproof and waterproof gloves are essential. This is pretty obvious, but a newbie could be caught out redhanded (excuse the pun ) come brew day.
I have a pulley system and twirl my bag but still give it a good squeeze with bare hands.
you're a tough nut then :lol: personally, I've used 2 large saucepan lids
Good job Bribie!
When you try to remove your tap to replace it be careful I think its tightened up with a rattle gun or something, it wont wanna budge if it's like mine was. I tried to remove mine and it began to warp the sheetmetal which is pretty thin. You gotta put a socket on the inside with a long bar and then get a big shifta/ open ender on the outside. Probably a 2 man job. Also the hole is 21mm 'ish so you'll need to open it up to 23mm for a bulkhead.
Cheers, Chris.
I don't think there is any long term advantage to BIAB..... I technically MAIB (Masked in a bag) when I first went to AG for about 5 brew as i peiced together my set up. Don't get me wrong I think it is a brilliant way to get a taste AGing with minimal expence but I found it limited very quickly. Been now brewing with a primative AG setup now for over 18 months, first thing I noticed is how much more you can do doing it that way rather then BIAB. But this just my own opion...Please can someone tell me the real long-term advantage of using BIAB?

Into an old fermenter (aka known as a lauter grant).
I used a kettle from the kitchen to sparge, dumped the grain, then put the particle-free sweet wort into the urn for boil.
Primitive....yes, but it was reliable, durable and effective (and it didn't require use of curtain material or a sowing machine).
