I'm brewing for more than 10 years and used all kinds of systems. Starting with a simple cooler + kettle, then upgraded to various two vessel systems with pumps, I recently thought I could settle with a Brewtools B40pro. Yes, it is nice, but somehow I was fascinated by simple systems. Thererfore I took an old kettle, bought a "the brew bag" and love this simple BIAB setup far more than my shiny B40... I think this is the lifecycle of homebrewing. If you are new to homebrewing, you can skip the cycle , save money and go straight to BIAB.

Did two batches of extract before I jumped into BIAB and it was the best thing I did for brewing. Way easier to get into than it seems and its without a doubt the perfect place to start. I did BIAB for a long time with batch sizes from 1-5 gallons, and even now the popular all in one systems effectively do the same thing! Also thanks for the shoutouts! Great video as always and congrats on the 2k subs, well deserved!

The easiest way to chill wort is to dump 1 gallon of frozen hop ice on wort. boil hops in 1 gallon of distilled water freeze it overnight and when wort is ready just dump the frozen chunk of hop ice in the wort. Just make sure to account for the gallon of water since that hop ice is going to turn in to water.

I know this video is older but I can’t get enough of it. Just an FYI but I have been all grain brewing for around 5 years now and actually stopped using my two 10 gallon coolers and switched to BIAB just because it’s easier. I do still use my coolers occasionally for larger or complicated brews. Don’t listen to the negative talk about efficiency because I have actually had better efficiency than coolers because you end up being able to stir the mash more since you have all your volume in the kettle at once.

If heat and solvent (water) doesn't extract too many tannins there is no way a human beings upper body strength would ever be enough to. If you put them into an auger press maybe, but just squeezing the bag will do nothing but help you collect more precious wort. I'm glad you addressed that, I hear it constantly.

I only ever brewed in a bag one time. Brewing in a bag (unbeknownst to me) actually let's a lot more trub through into the boil, and thus, into the fermenter. This isn't usually a problem once you adjust your recipe volumes to allow for a little bit more loss due to the stuff that will be left behind in the fermenter. It's all good. And just think of all the beer you get to drink figuring out your technic and system. LOL 👍 My personal choice was to build a mash tun. With a proper vorlauf, my wort clears up pretty well and I end up with a lot less trub. The down sides are a little more expense and longer brew day with a little more work.

I've done BIAB for a few years now. From the very start I converted a 10 gallon brew kettle to electric by adding an element similar to those in electric water heater tanks. I just have access to 15 amps 120 volt outlets so I use it in combination with a conduction heat plate ( on a different breaker). Getting relatively quickly to mash and boil temperature has never been an issue. I recently added an Inkbird IPB-16 to control the element and it works like a charm.

Great stuff man. Literally about to try my first biab in a few days and this was the best and most reassuring biab video i've seen yet..! Subbed ;) Quick question: I am doing a ginger beer recipe (not an actual ginger beer, but an APA with...ginger in it ;) ) - I plan to filter out the ginger after boil whilst funneling over to the fermenter. Is still ok to do this with all grains brews? I have absolutely nothing against trub or extra trub whatsoever, and actually want to give the yeast as many nutrients as possible during the ferment. However... too much ginger sediment in the fermenter is a different story and sometimes causes me all kinds of problems when making normal ginger beer, even after cold crash - makes bottling very difficult. Would you agree it's ok to run all this from a sieve whilst funneling into my fermenter? And 1 more question actually...! I almost always boil about half of my water (with the grains + ginger etc etc), funnel into fermenter, then add the 2nd half of water to the fermenter. Not only does this expedite the cooling process but it also just makes my life abit easier when boiling, my pot isn't ideal for doing the full quantity (I do 19L batches, just over 5 gals...) Any issues doing that? I always take my OG hydro reading after moving over to, mixing and oxygenating the wort in the fermenter with the non-boiled water. Thanks alot man! You probably wont even see this but wanted to pick your brain :D
@TheBruSho
@TheBruSho 3 жыл бұрын
First off thanks for the sub!! And here’s what I think: totally ok to use a sieve for ginger. Just make sure it’s a sanitized sieve. And then I don’t see anything wrong with your method with the water as long as it’s clean water, like straight from a jug or bottle. If you are pulling filtered water or tap water just make sure it’s going into a sanitized vessel. But otherwise you should be fine. The sooner you pitch your yeast the better your chances are for a quick, great fermentation
@AlexSpetz
@AlexSpetz 3 жыл бұрын
@@TheBruSho Cheers for the reply! The filtering through sieve method was more a question of whether it would have a negative affect on the grains atall. Of course we are talking minimal amounts here, but I use a fairly small grade sieve to get as much ginger out as possible (i dry hop with ginger after PF), so I don't want that affecting my grains and sucking away any valuable sugars stuck in a sieve :D Appreciate the response

Hi! Thx for the useful informations. Just wondering what's the difference between mashing with the full amount of water vs adding clean water on top of the bag after the mash is done? My recipe calls for 12L of water for mashing for 22L of wort before boiling, what if I just mash with 22L? Sounds more convenient Thx
@TheBruSho

You can totally do that if your kettle can hold all the grains and water at once. Adding water on top of the bag can help rinse out extra sugars trapped in the bag and help if you have a small kettle that can’t fit it all at once

From what I've seen most people/forums recommend a minimum of 2x the final size of your batch. For example a 10 gallon kettle for a 5 gallon batch. I've also seen however many people reccomending the jump to a 15 gallon kettle. I was curious what your thoughts are/what size kettle you use.

Hey, turn off the heat just so you don’t scorch or burn the bottom of the bag. But if you drop temp too much from 65c you can always turn back on the burner to raise the temp up and get it close and then turn off again. Unless you have an electric system it’s near impossible to stay at a consistent temp but as long as you are in the right range you will be fine

Yeah temp will drop a little bit if you have a thin kettle (like me). I usually just turn the burner on for 60 secs, stirring continuously until it’s back in the right range and haven’t had any issues of scorching. But if you had a false bottom it certainly wouldn’t hurt!

Those are great tools to have on hand, especially if you want to know the alcohol content and to cool down fast. This was just showing what you need to specifically do BIAB.

So the grains are steeped for about 60 mins, then removed and the liquid/wort is then boiled with hops to add flavor and bitterness

When the water hit the temp and you add in the grain. Did you turn off the heat completely? Meaning at that point you're just letting the grain sit in the water at it's current temp?
@TheBruSho
@TheBruSho 3 жыл бұрын
Yep exactly, it helps to have a good kettle to keep thing insulated and consistent. But if not you can turn on heat briefly if the temp drops too much to keep it in the right range.

My grain absorption usually runs about 0.4 quarts per pound. So with a 10 pound grain bill, if I dough in with 4 gallons, I'm only going to get 3 from the first runnings. My batch sparge will be another 4 gallons. And I typically get that all back because the grain is already wet. Oh darn, forgot to mention this is in a mash tun, not BIAB. I'll typically boil off 1.5 of the 7 gallon pre-boil volume. The hardest part for any new brewer is figuring out their system. EVERYONE'S system and technic will be different. The BEST part is you get to brew and drink A LOT of beer figuring it out! 😁🍻🍺 Happy Brewing!

Hi, one question for yeast nutritient, is it okay to use wine yeast nutrient for beer brewing, since theres no yeast nutrients in my country for beer brewing specifically, cheera!
@TheBruSho
@TheBruSho 3 жыл бұрын
Yes totally ok to use wine nutrient. I don’t often use nutrients in beer since the malt provides a good amount of nutrients but if you are making a lighter style like Pilsner it could be a good idea to toss some in

yeah, you would just do it like any other system. Just be careful when heating up that you don't scorch the bag, might need to raise it slightly while heating up.

@TheBruSho just experienced my 1st stuck fermentation. OG was 1.060 then shut off like a light switch at 1.022. I've increased temp (mashed at 152°), gentle fermenor shake, added extra yeast (Lutra Kveik) & yeast enigizer & nothing. Was wondering if I extracted a bunch of unfermentable sugars cause hydrometer is locked at 1.022

@TheBruSho ok, one last dumb BIAB question. In ramping up to 2nd rest (say a 10 minute rest) do you leave bag in kettle while ramping up temp or remove it & reinstall once 2nd step target temperature is reached?
