Hey All,
Just think about getting into full volume BIAB soon (eBIAB to be specific) just to simplify my brew days and equipment needs (who would have thought 2 kids would eat up that much of my time?)...
Don't ask me why, because I can't give you an answer grounded in fact, but I am more inclined to go with a SS basket setup rather than the polyester bags you mostly see out there for my long term brewing desires. And most of the baskets (ArborFab, etc) seem to be much finer than say a typical false bottom for std all-grain brewing. Why do you not see baskets created out of the same 3/32" holes on 5/32" centers material that most false bottoms are made from? Does the finer crush with BIAB pose an issue to this type of setup? Just curious if any has ever made or used a basket made of 3/32" x 5/32" perf, what that experience was like, good or bad.
I plan to direct fire (initially with propane and then move into electrically fired) and constant recirc if this makes any difference...
Cheers!
