Comments on: Brew In A Bag (BIAB) All Grain Brewing Method http://www.brewersfriend.com/2009/06/20/brew-in-a-bag-biab-all-grain-brewing-method/ We can have fun brewing beer together online Sat, 04 Feb 2012 01:36:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Daniel http://www.brewersfriend.com/2009/06/20/brew-in-a-bag-biab-all-grain-brewing-method/comment-page-1/#comment-1396 Daniel Sat, 08 Oct 2011 06:30:00 +0000 http://www.brewersfriend.com/?p=835#comment-1396 I'm an avid BIABer... I started with extract brewing, but after 3 extract batches, really wanted more control over my hobby (which, by now, is more of an obsession). BIAB is really simple, is really fast, and has created some of the best beers I've ever tasted! One quick note.... I've found, just through my own personal BIABing, is that by using two 5gal pots and using 7gals of water between both of them, I'm constantly hitting my mark for 5-gallon batches pretty much on the nose. And that's with pretty hefty grain bills. I believe the most I've mashed so far is 12.5 lbs. of grain (6.25 lbs in each pot).

I have not seen these available at home brew stores. I'm not sure what is involved in a tincture, maybe a 5-10lb grain sack would work? My kettle has a 20 gauge bottom and a 24 gauge wall.

I would do research to make sure the material is okay for mash temps. The links to the forums at the bottom of the original post above would be a good place to ask. You may have to make a bag.
