Hello All
I have been brewing off and on from kits for a few years now and have finally taken the plunge and bought the BIAB kit from Geterbrewed. I'm now waiting delivery hence the Can't Wait! title. Being the sort of bloke I am, I have been reading and researching for a number of weeks for best methods to the point I'm practising in my sleep! I have opted for BIAB as a starting point with the intention to expand to a full hlt, mash, boiler operation as and when the knowledge (and funds) allow. Anyhow, there seems to be a lot of discussion and debate regards sparging, ie whether it is, or not necessary for BIAB. I intend to go down the not necessary route and mash out for my first attempt. Can you learned people please give comment as to whether this is a suitable method, or should I not get into bad practice from the start. I have bought a Cool Box in anticipation of going down the sparge method in time so can utilise this from the start if advised. FYI, the Cool Box is a 35 litre from The Range for ã16.99 which seemed a very good buy compared to other prices I've seen. My first brew will be the Proper English IPA from geterbrewed and Can't Wait!
Cheers HBHuey
