Quick update: I have done 2 BIABs with this setup now and i have produced 5 gallon batches without any problems. The kettle boils 7 gallons of cold water in about 40 min or so and you can maintain a good boil easily. I have no complains other than it is quite a hassle cleaning this after use as...

Thanks for the quick answers guys! I appreciate it!

It's about time for me to bottle my beer, and i plan to prime it in the bottles. After putting the sugar in, at what temp should i store the bottles? Ive read different things about this, some people tell you to keep them in the fridge for about 6 days. Some tell you to keep it at 70...

It's an awesome way to save a lot of money. But after doing some research, make sure that the plastic you're using is safe to boil in. I will update when i receive my boiler!

This looks delicious!

That sounds nice, unfortunately i don't live in a rural area so all i have access to is expensive shops. So i have to rely on internet-shopping. I put an order on the plastic one! Will report back how it goes for anyone that's curious!

Update: The plastic kettle is made from Polypropylene (DOMO 1040RC) and is safe to boil in. And after doing more research it seems that it's a very popular tool for homebrewers in Europe. And since it's only about 90 dollars it's a great option! Here's some pictures:

Thanks for the info, unfortunately the website doesn't specify exactly what plastic they use but i will do some more research. Buying a large metal pot is not really an option for me unless i find a really cheap one as well as a really cheap heat-source. Pots are really expensive here, and it's...

Hmm i've seen people make DIY kettles out of plastic before, and using it to boil their wort. I can't see any problem with this, and since these ones are so cheap. I think i'm going to try it out. But i really don't understand the difference between the 3.

That does look delicious Woody, i might use that and just tweak it a little bit! Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the tips guys, i might go with oatmeal, chocolate extract, vanilla beans, cocoa nibs, maybe some coffee beans as well as lots and lots of hops.

Hello there, i am looking to buy a new boil kettle. And i stumbled upon THIS 2000w Plastic bielmeier. Would this work to BIAB then boil in? What's better about stainless steel in this case? And what is the difference between THIS Wort Kettle and THIS ONE not made for the same thing but...

It's time to make my first stout, most of the recipes i found seems a bit light for my taste. I like my stouts as thick and tarry as possible, i want it to explode in my mouth with flavour. I'm looking to make something with chocolate and chocolate extract at bottling as well as vanilla and...

Another new brewer here. As i forgot to aerate my wort, i shook my fermentor after pitching my yeast. I also used almost double the yeast since i made brewed a Double IPA... I hope i didn't make it too hard on the yeast. Do you think it'll be fine?

Thanks a bunch! You answered all of my questions!
