yup, cool. BIAB'ers, unite. i use a bag but i sparge, a la deathbrewer.
speking of: should deathbrewer's tutorial/pictorial be moved over here as a sticky? (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/easy-partial-mash-brewing-pics-75231/)
edit: and seven's, too - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f36/biab-brewing-pics-233289/

Speaking of deathbrewer, whatever happened to him, he still post, or am I just over-looking it ?

I believe DeathBrewer did the Partial Mash tutorial. Seven did the BIAB tutorial that turned into a mega-thread. I think it would make sense to move that thread here. It is what convinced me to make the jump from extract to BIAB.

right, he did (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/easy-partial-mash-brewing-pics-75231/), but it was still BIAB. that's the technique i'm currently using, doing all-grain and sparging - with a bag.
i realize this approach isn't traditional aussie-style BIAB, but i still consider it a form of BIAB.

Nice to have this spot. I would have been first but sadly I was Brewing In A Bag this morning. Session Saison and only got 85% efficiency :rockin: I did do a mash and a sparge even though I could have fit it all into my pot.

Yea!!! BIAB love it doing a another one this weekend
DeathBrewer's tutorial could have very well been called a BIAB tutorial (just omit the adding of extract) as he described the mashing in the bag and dunk sparge (even mentions pour-over). It was my first introduction to BIAB and what inspired me to go all-grain after just 2 extract batches. I do wonder what happened to him...

Awesome! Brewing up a batch of brown ale tomorrow BIAB style!
Just got back from my LHBS with ingredients for my first BIAB batch! I'm doing Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde.
Sweet! Be sure to let us know as you go!
Will do, and thanks for your help on the other thread
Nah, I was being simplistic, didn't realize you WANTED to set-up all of the tweaks in BS, otherwise I wouldn't have commented at all! But be sure to let us follow along on your first AG!
Sweet deal -- I'll be doing a 2.5 gallon batch of this recipe by BIAB in just a few hours. Good luck! This is my fifth BIAB batch (out of 11 total batches -- I'm a noob), and I'm loving it. Out of curiosity, how much water are you mashing with? I think I'll be doing 17 quarts for my batch... seems awfully thin, but I'm not doing a dunk sparge this time around.
My plan is pretty well laid out here:

BUT...and those that helped me in that thread, please don't kill me...I just bought a 10 gallon kettle so I plan to do a full volume no-sparge BIAB. I'm just going to squeeze the hell out of the bag.
Nice. That should be nice and easy. What efficiency are you planning for? Stir really well before you pull the bag out and DO squeeze the bejeebus out of it. Putting an oven rack or colander on top of the kettle helps the arm fatigue. Then you can use a pot lid or baking sheet to press the bag.
Sweet! Glad we have a consolidated area for this method of brewing. I do a lot of 3 gal BIAB batches, put ideas together based largely on Deathbrewer's aforementioned tutorial. Also do 5 gal PMs. Don't have a full-sized mash tun. Trying to work out what sparge routine I like. Realize its not completely necessary, but I hate the idea of leaving sugars behind.
I'm shooting for 70%. I have the corona mill so will double crush it. I also picked up a 1lb of DME just in case.
Sweet. Don't fear the flour! As long as you have ANY husks in there, you're golden. Besides, it all settles out in the end anyway!

I have done his Centennial Blonde recipe 3 times now doing the full volume BIAB. I think it might be my favorite recipe.
Good luck.
And now for the BiaB theme song...

Its funny. I was actually looking for a BIAB thread just a few days ago, wondering if I just missed it or it was part of another thread. I have done several extract batches and am looking to advance. Ordered a bag online and it arrived yesterday. Got a wort chiller ordered and patiently waiting for that. For me that BIAB route makes sense because I don't want the extra stuff sitting around. 1 kettle is enough. I just went through Seven's fantastic BIAB tut and am looking forward to my next brewday!
Thanks for the new forum. It will be used.
