Hi everyone, What is the popular consensus on the best all in one BIAB system, including circulation facility and grain basket kinds stuff? I know the Grainfather seems like a favourite. What's the best Grainfather, I can see the connect for £675 which is really stretching my budget! I've...

I have for sale a 25L Klarstein mash/boiler. This has been used once and comes with grain basket and grain basket holder thing. Does not come with wort chiller. I have used this once. Reason for selling is because it's on the small side for 23L brews or big ABV brews. Plus I have a few bits to...

Today was my second BIAB brewday. Went for a recipe based on Fursty Ferret. Thought I'd try a less hop-strong brew for my second BIAB. Still getting used to equipment. Didn't get too stressed about hitting targets etc. Used maxi-BIAB with my 32L boiler, 10L sparge and returned to boil...

So after reading a load of stuff on here and watching a number of videos on YouTube, I decided to get on with it and finally do an all grain BIAB. I used a 33L Peco boiler to mash and boil in, using the maxi-BIAB method. I retained a 10L bucket of sparged wort for boiling once the volume of...

Just wanted to ask everyone's opinion on this piece of kit. http://www.wineworks.co.uk/product/brew-heat-bucket/ I'm wanting to get into BIAB brewing and am thinking this would be quite handy for mashing in the bag and then boiling from there. Apparently it heats to 100 degrees. Quite cheap too.

Set my second ever batch of kit beer up on Friday. I had a lovely bubbling airlock all of Saturday and Sunday. My fermentation bucket seems to have a decent seal. When I got back from work on day three (Monday) my bucket was showing no signs of life. No airlock bubbling and no foaming/bubbling...

I'm going to be trying out a few more beer kits before I move on to extract or BIAB brewing, just to get everything second nature-ish. I'm currently brewing my second kit, a two can premium blonde ale. Looking for recommendations for a next beer kit. I like malty beers that balance bitter with...

It's currently 5 days since I pitched the yeast on my first batch of beer (Cooper's English bitter). Fermentation seems to have stopped and my hydrometer has read the same two days running. I'm probably going to leave it at least another two days and then think about bottling it. I have a...

I've been meaning to look into making my own beer for a long time. On Friday (9th August) I thought I'd give it a go with an uncharacteristic lack of research (I'm a biological scientist)! After buying a starter kit online I returned to my old ways and frantically researched as much as...
