Hi there! I've been brewing all grain BIAB for 3 or so years now, about 27 batches documented in Brewer's Friend. I'm looking at my efficiency numbers (conversion, but also brew house) and they are all over the board. They range from a low of 49% to a high of 88% with an average of 65. The...

I am interested to hear from the veterans of BF as well as new comers. How many brews have you done in Brewers Friend? What is your favorite brew you have done to date? Do you generally prefer: All-grain, Extract, Partial or BIAB? Why?

Hello everyone. While I am waiting to enjoy my first (kit) batch, I am searching and planning for my next step -it felt a bit too easy, just mixing cans and liquids. I searched around and I now have a solid understanding of what are the following methods: extract partial mash BIAB all grain...

So I've noticed there's a lot of questions here in the beginners sub involving BIAB (brew in a bag). I've only done a handful of batches that way myself but I figured I could answer as many of the basic questions as I can think of, some other people can add a few things and then we can always...

Hi All, I've been all-grain (BIAB) brewing for a couple of years now and have been pretty happy with the results in terms of taste. I use Brewer's Friend to calculate my mash pH before brewing. However, I have always had mash pH come out significantly lower than the expected pH from the...

Hello everyone! I'm really excited to try out BIAB when I brew a Simcoe single hop IPA on Wednesday (hopefully). I wanted to set myself up for success and ask the experts here what they think :) -Brewing 1 gallon in a 3 gallon stock pot -I'm going to crush my crushed grain with a rolling pin...

I went to brew today on my High Gravity BIAB system and something in the 110 leg was/is not working. there is now power to the switch ( it wont light up) and no power to the plug. I sent the HG team a quick email to see what the parts are that I may need to replace, and in less than 30 min...

Hi, I'm new to homebrewing and am mostly trying to figure it out on my own. There's so much differing information online, and most of it is imperial units, which makes it harder for me to follow. I've already made two BIAB batches, an IPA and an APA, both of which turned out surprisingly well...

I'm soon to begin brewing BIAB 3 gallon batches. I will probably get a catalyst 6.5 gallon fermenter with trub valve. Is that too large for my 3 gallon batches? Seems nobody makes a nice 5 gallon 'total' conical with trub valve! And all 3 Gallon versions I see are only designed for 2 maybe...

So I have been brewing for many years, the last 7 mostly on my 3 kettle system, but, I do sometimes brew a batch BIAB and have tried several times to setup a equipment profile for BIAB but have never had any luck. How do I add a equipment profile for BIAB so that it will show me my total water...

G'day brewers, I've got a head-scratcher here. I do all-grain BIAB and I've noticed ever since bulk priming with dextrose (using the calc on this site) all my brews are on the flat side. Some background on how I roll: I mostly do pale ales, wheat beers, stouts My recipes are scaled to 15 L...

Hi All Im new to all grain brewing, have done a bit of 5 Gallon Extract in the past but far prefer the new found Challenge of recreating some lovely craft beers. I live in A tower block flat in Scotland, anybody aware oh these will also be aware there is nae space for much, also the electric...

Hi, I'm Mic, and I'm a brewaholic. I'm new to the forum and new to BIAB. I've been extract kit brewing for a number of years. 2 weeks ago I brewed my first BIAB, a Blonde ale. I got help from LHBS getting the grain bill, based on an extract recipe have had success with. The day when great and...

So I brewed my first all grain BIAB today. Everything beautifully, until i went to cool my wort. I bought a stainless steel immersion chiller and it took 45 minutes to go from boiling to 70. I had to stir with the chiller which cause my wort to become super muddy, clogging up my bazooka filter...

Hey brewers, I'm doing my first mini-BIAB Pilsner on Saturday and wanted to run my plan by some experts. Recipe is from a book. INGREDIENTS (scaled to get 12L in the FV) 3.3 kg Bohemian Pilsner 40 g Saaz MASH 1 Hr @ 65C BOIL 75 mins HOPS 30 g start of boil, 10 g at turn off YEAST Wyeast...

Hi all, Does anyone do no-chill BIAB? Currently I do 10L batches and I cool it by transferring to a pot sitting in an ice bath in my sink. It works well but the ice bags cost $8 (my freezer isn't big enough to make ice blocks) and it's another step/cost I'd like to remove if possible. I've been...

Hey brewers, The first mini biab I did I bottled straight from the FV and used carb drops - nice beer, pretty happy with it. For the 2nd one, I took the advise from my LHBS and added dextrose to a second FV, did the whirlpool thing and bottled from that. It was a bit annoying in terms of loss...
