Got a bit bored with kits, so thought to try this method,but took a while to scrounge up bits..buggered if I was going to but stuff

Know what you mean about the kits, nearly as boring as trying to encourage manufactures to supply decent yeast. All set up for extract brewing now as only have a 19l pot. Might try a mini BIAB.

My first couple were miniBIABs, well worth a go!
My first couple of batches were made in an 11 litre stock pot so ended up about 6 litres in total when I bottled. Tried maxi BIAB after that and got around 10 litres, which was enough to encourage me to get a Buffalo boiler
Was good to get some processes sorted and get used to what I was doing first.

I've got a 23l pot and BIAB 17.5l (quantity into FV) batches as standard. I've set BrewMate to have a default batch size of 17.5l so I don't even have to think about it.
