Mash longer? I usually mash 70 to 75 min stirring every 20 min or so. I mill twice and mash at full volume.

I only brew 2.5 gallon BIAB batches. I have a five gallon pot and a 3. gallon fermenter and a 3 gallon carboy. Depending on the final yield i get between 20-24 bottles of beer out of a batch. I can't drink a lot beer either and like ability to brew different batches.

Not sure where the probe is as I don't own a pot with one. I have a 5 gallon pot that I do 2.5 BIAB batches that I mash on the stove and boil outside. I use a collapsable vegetable steamer opened all the way up on the bottom of the pot. I trimmed the legs off mine a little to get more room for...

I did a 2.5 gallon BIAB version and used half of the bottle i got from the brewshop when I bottled.

I did this as a 2.5 gallon batch a week ago and zested 2 lemons, it's finishing now at about 1.008 but testing the hydro sample I did not get much of a lemon taste. Maybe next time I will try the thin peel method.

I run my grain through the mill twice. It's DIY at the brewshop. Would suggest not being afraid to open the pot and stir. Also a longer mash time may help. I stir it up every twenty minutes and usually mash for 70- 80.

This! I just did a 1 gallon smash to see what Simcoe hops tasted like, came out with 7 bottles of beer.

The best bet is to just make your own. Voile is cheap, has a fine mesh and durable. Two straight seams and the bag is done, fits your pot and lasts. One more seam and you have a pocket for a drawstring, it's really not that hard. I use a veggie steamer with the feet shortened in the bottom of...

4MM is a very small pipe, comparable to our 1/4 inch pipe. Most people here are using a larger diameter tube. Probably want 12-15mm tubing. 12 meter is ok but a little short. Here in the states use is closer to 16 meters. on the pot? 120 centimeters is close to 48 inches , that's big pot ,you...

Straddle the pot with a 6 ft ladder and use a pulley/rope from the top step?

These commercials always make me laugh, along with the one with the hot chicks flanking the crazy Russian kissing his miniature giraffe.

I am a small batch guy. 2.5 gallons tops. I have a 1 gallon smash going at the moment. Also not a big beer drinker due to health concerns, but i like to brew. It looks like a nice intro kit. If and when you decide to go bigger you would only be swapping out the bucket and lid. Everything else...

Here's new (to me) unrelated info. For all the fans of "Three Sheets" Zane is back on TV with "Drinking Made Easy" Wednesday nights on HD NET

Phosphates??? you don't look that old. Phosphates were 10 cents and aCherry Coke was 15.

I thought this was going to be HomeBrewTalks answer to GTL????

Nothing wrong with a little french RSVP is OK by me. Bag vs Sachet, one just holds stuff, the latter imparts something to it's surroundings, the French are fun!!! Now aside from the one "R" one allowed here, IMHO- we know it's yours you wrote it IMVHO - just more pretentious YMMV - ?????
