Ok since I have an extra 32 Quart Stainless brew pot and I really cant brew on the stove anymore due to the wife saying its not ok for the house to smell like hops anymore. I have every thing listed below but want feedback from brewers with more epx than me. i think I will have enough to boil. I want to be doing this cheapish so please feed back. I will be using a 120V

my pot is a 32 Quart Stainless brew pot

I guess thats about it besides the small stuff like plugs and food grade silicone...My brewshop will drill my holes so no need to buy the bits

I admittedly don't know much about BIAB but for me and 5 gallon batches, 7 gallon boils, my 36 qt pot is barely big enough. I would *think* with BIAB you would need a large kettle but what do I know.

I do BIAB and unless you plan on doing some kind of sparge, a 9 gallon pot will be too small. I have a 15 gallon pot it it works great. I start with 7.5 gallons of water and after adding my grain I still have plenty of room. Wanted to add that is for a 5 gallon batch.

I would rinse the grains to too off before the boil

Finally got my elements in and it may be ugly but it holds water. Going to hook up the wires and give it a boil tomorrow

Ground wire???!!!! Don't fire up without one.

Also, you may want to ask the mods to move this to the Electric Forum so you can get better feedback!

The ground is a attached to the other end of the electric boxes. I'll take a pic

[Hello]

Hey OP, can you show a pic of the ground wire please? And have you used this for a 5 gallon batch. How did you do in terms of space?

 

[madcore]

I'll take a pic tonight of the ground wire but here are two pic with 10pounds of grain and I think 6.5 gallons. Then a pic of full boil
