How do you brew?

12L batches - I suppose it's BIAB if you have to give it a name, though the bag is only used as a big sieve. I mash & dunk sparge in the brew kettle in the oven, use 2 x 2L electric kettles to heat the water and then boil on the kitchen hob.

BIAB, homemade electric mash tun/boiler and plastic fv. I'm very new though, only done 2 brews so far
Have an inkbird itc-100 but wasn't happy with it in the mash so whenever I get a fridge I'll use it for that

Robobrew 3. Approx ten batches in, efficiency all over the map, but much better tasting beer than extract.

Blimey it seems like a while since I brewed.....but....here goes...
Picnic box tun for the mash, then sparge into a Brupaks boiler - which is very good. Into a plaggy bucket which goes in me brewfrodge.

I haven't brewed since birth of my daughter in September 2017. I had planned on an extract Zombie Dust clone but finding the cost of ingredients prohibitive; so am going to have a first go at an all grain BIAB with a 10L citra SMaSH probably next bank holiday. Got bag / grains / hops / yeast / portable induction to brew on now- all I need is a 15L stock pot suitable for induction, which I have sourced on Amazon and will pick up shortly, and a sieve large enough to strain wort. Will be fermenting in the box room in a water bath, with an inkbird for temp control.
23 litre batches.
Use a peco mashing bin as an HLT. Mash in a 45 litre picnic cool box. Use a spare FV to batch sparge into. Use above mashing bin for boiling the wort. Works for me.
Did once consider a grainfather but I would probably not be able to eat for a month! I brew to save money and drink beers I like to drink.

Klarstein Maischfest with my own pump for recirc which I mainly use for mashing out, verlauf and pumping to my conical fermenter. I have a plastic tub with elements added in for my HLT, controlled by a Inkbird IPB-16. I also use a hop spider.
I aim to either increase to a larger all-in-one or add a proper PID to my Klarstein (not decided). The Maischfest temperature controller has a 3 deg C inaccuracy.

16 liter batches: 20 liter pot for mashing and boiling, a bucket with double bottom for inbetween mashing and boiling, also brewbag because of less mess, and that's it.
Mash in a 60 lt thermopot with false bottom, 60 lt plastic HLT with one element,boil in a 100 lt stainless steel pot with tap and two elements and ferment in a 70 lt stainless steel pot. Aim to make 56 lt finished brew
