Cooling in a Buffalo boiler.

[Eric]

Has anyone noticed it's now four weeks since any new BIAB topic was started? Sixty or seventy new ones here in the same period. Are all the BIABers here now?

I biab and do not look in the biab forum very often as biab is still all grain brewing and most posts in the all grain forum apply to me as much as other all grain brewers using the 3 vessel method

Most certainly agree, applicable to every kind of all grain brewing. BIAB is a great way to make all grain beer, probably the best way for anyone with concerns for capital expenditure and the quality of homebrewed beer. I made beer that sort of way for years without ever calling it by that name. Over time changes were made, such as adding a chiller and presumably I stopped when I mashed in an old FV with a false bottom in place of the grain bag. My point was that some virtues of BIAB can also impose limitations that on occasions stifle discussion and innovation.

I've never brewed an all grainer as yet, probs another 2 weeks away. However I've learnt a great deal about cooling, brewing methods. There's no right or wrong it seems. As long as the basic guidlines are met, ie, temps, weights, volumes etc. Everyone has their own trusted ways.
