Another tip to make your life easier. On those 10 gallon batches, as Beermeister said, It is easy to split it into multiple bags, use what I call DBIAB - Double Brew In A Bag! It is a simple 2-bag setup (with or without) some stainless 1/8" welding rod or wooden dowel over the top to clip on to. Or use Trent's idea of just winding both bags & using 1 big clip. Makes bag extraction a breeze, no pulleys, block and tackle, engine hoists or extra buddies needed!

They sell a nice round grill meant for a Webber at Home Depot. The diameter is perfect for over the kettle with BIAB. I think it's about 15 bucks. Thanks for the vid! Cheers!

The student has become the master! Excellent tips man, I gotta get me a sous vide stick!

✌ DUDE...01:17 LOL....damn magnums... get me every time.....🤘

I have 2 720 watt drum heaters that attach to the outside of my kettle for a total of 1440 watts. Plus I use an 1800 watt induction plate. The silicone drum heaters are available at Mcmaster Carr they have adhesive on them and cost around $100 each. They work very well, I dont use a thermostat. I dont have 220v hookup so this is a great alternative. I use 2 separate 120v circuits.

Congrats on the 30k ! Cheers 🤙🏼🍻

I started brewing with BIAB and then found you guys. Glad to see you're enjoying BIAB too.

The oven rack hack blew my fricken mind! Definitely gonna use this on my next brewday. Cheers CH!

Always coming in hot with the money saving tips. CHEERS BRAJ!!

Ya buddy!!! Ink Bird Sous Vide for the win, just brewed a 5 gal batch and used it for my mash temp control.

I concur with tip #7, the Hoppy Hour continuously blows my mind. So many great times that you'll miss if you aren't there! Cheers!

Awesome tips, heat gloves are a must for bag squeezin'

I started brewing after seeing your old tutorial, then started to BIAB after discovering Trent, I had my 1st stuck mash BIAB, been using rice hulls to prevent it.

Those are some really good tips! Ive been brewing in a bag for the last three years or so the gloves help a lot! But I just put the grain bag in a spare bucket that I keep on hand on brew day and use my stir paddle to press on the bag to get a little extra wort. Also for temp, I try and watch it like a hawk, I do relight the burner for a quick min or two after lifting the bag just slightly and stirring a lot real fast - But this is something that I think you build up a feel for after awhile. Cheers BRAJ!

I brew in my kitchen so I have very limited space above my stove (microwave) so I have to hold the bag straight out about shoulder height which can be pretty brutal if the water doesn't drain quick enough. I double bag it. I have an old cheap 600 micron bag on the inside and a 200 micron bag on the outside. When I pull up the inside bag, the water flows through the 600 micron pretty easily and picks up all midsize to large particles so I don't have to hold it straight out for a long time and wreck my shoulders. Then the 200 micron second bag picks up a lot of the little stuff and dust for a clean wort. At first I just used the 200 micron and the bag took forever to drain. Holding the grain and water straight out until it drained enough to not spill was brutal.

I’ve been tempted and i suppose i am still tempted to buy a stainless grain basket. Currently I’m using a plastic fermentation bucket with holes drilled in the bottom and I put my bag inside for the mash. I use the handle to pull it out. Works a treat.

When you use cheap square grain bags, find the bottom corners and push them in before lifting it completely out. That way liquid wont dump out the sides but straight down instead.

Stainless steel basket with hooks on the sides then add a hook made out of stainless steel that will hang on the side of your kettle

Great tips to make brewing easier and save money

My brewzilla all-in-one system is basically a biab. I'll take out the grain pipe and use the bag for bigger grain bill beers. 🍻

Biab is where it’s at….that’s how I started brewing and would never change….

Dope!

For draining my bag im using a pizza plate with holes and a draining basket for spaghetti its working really well!

I've only ever done BIAB and wouldn't change a thing.

Whats your take on the FermZilla for fermentation all the way to serving from?

Two layers of that cheap foil-foam insulation they make for water heaters keeps my brew pot AT mash temp for an hour. Two layers wrapped around the pot, and two on the lid always works for me. Wrap it and forget it. But don't forget to peel off the insulation before you fire up the stove for the boil. That foil wrap catches fire pretty quick.

I been milling my grain with coffee grinder(made in east germany). Until it dies. I also mash without bag. I scoop it in the bag and hang up after. Because i use electric mixer to get doughballs out and the bag was catching, dont really want to electricute myself.

Here's the the next 30k! Cheers CH!

CH, did you ever go with that metal grain basket from Amazon? Looking at something like this, but see that some vendors also sell them for a lot more money.

If you have a squat rack and a steel pipe a chain pulley works pretty well too. Worst home brew item I bought was a hop spider, used lots of hops and got no hop flavor!

Oven racks are cheap on amzon. I got the biggest one they had, and it didn’t break the bank. They are easy to clean. Something else I do is I but the bag in a bucket so this way anything I didn’t squeeze out I can just pour back into the boil.

I use BIAB and use a 35l kettle and it's pretty tight on space. What's the best way to sparge? could I just mash in the kettle then dunk the bag in a bucket with the remaining water?

Biab Braj!

I’ve been looking into a sous vide for temp control. Do you use it in your mash or just to keep sparge water to temp?

Sup braj. Have you tried doing full volume mashing instead of sparging? It works great for me

Still working on upgrading to a 30 gallon kettle to make 20 gallon batches

Gonna have enough brews to fix my judgement and find a grain basket. Thanks for the advice! Cleaning bags suck balls. Dumbest thing i have bought to brew with? Gotta be all the glass carboys that clutter the room above my garage now.

I’ll be giving BIAB a shot pretty soon. The dumbest homebrew thing I got was a wide mouth glass fermenter on an impulse buy.

extra comment for algorithms. If you are reading this do the same! or start a convo or dont; its your life.

Hey Poser. FIAB? Have you ever fermented in a bucket liner?

i tried the oven rack method before and it gets messy sometimes.. use the pulley and just twist the bag.

Q: “Stupid things you bought for brewing” A: Auto-siphon.

🍻

Nicholas Cage...wow. I didn't know you made your own beer...awesome..🙂

Fuck yea

Let’s go

I thought part of the BIAB appeal was no sparge needed

**Positive feedback in the comments section**

Braj!

I can't not click on these videos.

NOT WEDNESDAY BUT FUCKING HYPED BRAJ. THOUGHT TREN WAS STRAIGHT ROIDS, BUT DON'T GIVE A FUCK

"Fake it till you make it!"

BEER!

Dumbest homebrew item ever purchased, god damn glass carboys. Still have a few of em and they sit...maybe make a graveyard of these at a kids playground?

Just buy a brewzilla or grain father...

So you are just giving us just the tip huh.

Dumbest an electric system BIAB much cheaper and not as much cleaning

you are over engineering this shit..electric brew and a fabric bag ..its the way
