Opinion on the question if in or out of the bag is split on our group. One user does all his batches inside the bag with no additional filter (say a hop spider) He insists that he's never had an issue. Nevertheless most of us are outies not innies.

In response to a question from me, another user on our facebook group posted: " Mine is an 11 gallon pot. This brew had 7.5 gallons of water and 11 pounds of grain. Handles it well. " He wasn't using insulation and was outdoors as you can see in his photo.

A lot of people on our group (Sous Vide Beer Brewing on facebook) are doing batches up to 5 gallons with no problem at all even without insualtion. Beyond that the constraints of thermo-dynamics kick in. Larger cooler type mash tuns can be used due to their insulation and shape. With a 15...

They are designed for water, many people on our facebook group have said that they have not had any problems with wort (caremelised sugars scorching on the element for instance). The point of this is to add precise temperature control to BIAB not to try and replicate huge dedicated garage...

We've been doing food and brewing BIAB with one. As we do batches from 2 to 5 gallons its easily capable of holding mash rests and has taken a lot of fiddling around out of the brew day.

There's a member of our Facebook group who has RIMS set up and was asking this very question. I have seen a couple of people with Grainfathers & BMs doing it so I don't see why not. The food is sealed and if you are fastidious about cleaning and sanitation (what brewer isn't?) then why not? Our...

There's quite a few people doing this now. There's a facebook group called Sous Vide Beer Brewing (link in my profile but not sure if ok to post it here). I use an external heat source (induction hob) for getting to strike temperature and then hold using the sous vide device. Its perfectly...

Thank you thinking1, great tips. - Liam

Hi, Thanks that's a good video, exactly what I wanted to know - Liam

Hi Shawnbou, That makes sense. If I was going to get into no-sparge brewing then I could get away without a HLT altogether. I'm thinking of getting a GF because space is a big issue for me. The Braumeister seems to be overkill so this seems perfect. I've heard that decoction is very difficult...

Hello, Was thinking about a GF and was wondering why a different vessel is needed to heat water to strike temperature. Can'y you use the GF to heat the water and then put the malt pipe in? Thanks

Thank you

Hello, can you give me a clue which company you referred to, I'm about to get a BM & really want to use a good supplier. I'm in England, thanks
