Howdy, I'm an all grain mini-BIAB noob (done 2 brews) and have some questions about water quantities. Generally I mash in a 32L pot on the stove and do a dunk sparge (sometimes I rinse over the wort, what's better?) and I want to know if it matters how I split the mash and sparge water up? For...

I'm putting together a kit to do small batch (1.5-2 gallons) all grain BIAB. I've started to look at grain bills for recipes I would like to try, but the recipes include amounts that are only small fractions of the smallest amounts I can purchase online. I'm trying to find a local homebrew...

I'm looking to halve a recipe from a book that i've got. Essentially I don't have the capacity to do a full batch and just want to squeeze a half-batch in. I'm just trying to figure out how to correctly halve everything? I'm assuming that grist and hops will all get halved, but the water...

Hi All, I'm an all-grain BIAB brewer based in Elm Park on the Essex/London border (depending on where you draw that line!) Currently brewing 20L batches on propane. I've been brewing (badly) for about 5 years and only switched to all grain at the beginning of this year, so i'm still figuring...

Hi, everyone. I do small batches (1 gallon final volume in the fermentor) and I would like to add a pump to my system. I currently recirculate by hand...an hour for the mash, then do a first runnings, then recirculate my sparge for 15 minutes. Works well. But, I would like to use a pump. Stick...

Is a mash out (raising mash to 168 deg F or 170 deg F) really necessary when brewing via BIAB technique (Brew In a Bag)? I worry about the risk of burning my bag after having read others with this problem since the bottom of the pot is getting way hotter than that. It's also another process...

To squeze or not squeeze that is the question. Going to try a BIAB next week and noticed there is much conflicting info on squeezing grain bag to squeeze "all the good stuff" out. I haven't done BIAB before, but you don't reach into mash tun and squeeze (ok now thats enough use of that...

Hey Gang, Question about how the "grain absorption" setting feature works for BIAB setups. Since any wort lost due to grain absorption is removed from the kettle when the bag is removed, I would expect the OG to change when I change the grain absorption. The default value of 0.5 qt/lb is too...

I'm sure this is answered somewhere but to be honest I got lazy after the search results looking too daunting to go through. Anyway, I'm a long time herms AG brewer but I got really tired of the long days and cleaning. So I'm hopefully simplifying my life with my new BIAB. I've yet to use it...

Just started brewing using the BIAB system in a 10 gallon Bayou Classic. My next batch is going to be a coffee porter, but the recipe says to add a very small amount of cold press coffee to the secondary fermentor; My question is: How do I prevent contamination of beer in secondary...
