I switched to BIAB back in August and couldn't be happier. I was doing PM up until then for a year and a half. From my experience with PM I don't see myself going to the traditional 3 vessel system. More work and more things to clean. I find BIAB to be easier and overall a more enjoyable...
I always thought BIAB was a reach for me. I almost bought 2 coolers at Lowes. Then I looked into the process of converting those coolers into mash tun and HLT. Financial considerations aside, BIAB started looking more and more appealing. Got a promotion at work and spent $250 on a new kettle and...

Hello all. I'm going to making the jump to AG soon and will be buying a kettle soon. I am leaning towards buying a 10 gallon kettle since I only brew 5 gallon and don't see ever going any higher than that. With all the different options out there is it worth to buy an expensive kettle or would a...
