I like watching videos like this because you almost always learn something new. You get to see peoples different methods as well. I think having someone hold the grain is the most difficult method I've seen. I've seen people use a steralised bowl and a colander or large strainer to hold the grain while rinsing and then you just pour the liquid from the bowl back into the mix. I've also seen people who've set up a hook in which the place the bags string onto and let gravity pull it out naturally.

Great video guys, wish this was about when I started BIAB a year ago! Just remember when anyone gets bitten by the bug and upgrades, the Peco still serves as a sparge water heater... that's how I sold it to the Mrs! Alas I have just upgraded to a braumeister, but the peco is a great way of getting into all grain with out breaking the bank! Other tips I have learnt, the Ikea STABIL splatter guard in 33cm, makes a great false bottom to keep the bag and grain off the element. Also the IKEA IDEALISK expandable colander is perfect to allow the grains to drain over the peco or another vessel and keep adding back in during heat up - stops your assistant shaking like a shitting dog! Keep the videos coming lads!

I made myself a copper cooling coil that looked very much like the one you showed at the start of the video. When I used it, I discovered that it cooled the bottom really well, but the wort at the top stayed hot. Adding spacers to extend the height of the coil solved the problem.

Never seen a plastic Kettle like that! pretty cool

I always mash in my 30l pot with 15 litres and wrap it up to keep the heat for an hour then I use a fermenting bucket with 18l water in. I add the bag of grains to the bucket and stir and leave for 5 or 10 mins to sparge, then drain, pour that back in the pot and that gets me the overall 30 litres I need to boil. Works for me. Might not be right though haha.

Never seen a BIAB in a bucket, that's a cool idea!

Hands up who else is a bag squeezer then? Don't be shy! 👋 I don't sparge with my BIAB either.

[pbshooter]

Cool. It is 2022 btw, instant read thermometers are really affordable. Try one you'll glad you did.

[voyislavpavlovic]

No water shortages for wort cooling I use the no chill method

[hskingr]

This is great! can you do a bottling video with the kit as well please?

[DylanScully]

Could you ferment in the peco boiler straight after cooling down instead of transferring to another vessel? Would be super convenient. Also i wonder could you use the heating element to raise temperatures (attached to an inkbird or similar) instead of an outside source of heat, or would the element kill off the yeast surrounding it?

[robgreene]

Think I missed it in the video, when did the hop tea bags come out? Or did they stay in the boiler as the wort was transferring to the fermentor? I'm never sure whether to take them out pre-chill step or leave them in.

[AshcroftMcCabe]

How is best to clean this thing? PBW with the element in? Then sanitise before using next brew day?

[coolukboy]

Hi guys. I have a spare fermentation bucket on the right (purchased from your good selves). Can I just drill a hole and add a hesting element to it? Or is it a different plastic grade not suitable for boiling?

[danieleasperti]

Details about electrical resistance? Watt and shop?

[paddyodoherty]

Am i right in saying after you put in grains at 68 degrees, you then need to continue to turn on and off the Peco boiler for an hour to keep it at a constant 68 degrees? Or once its at the 68 degrees at rhe start you just leave it amd it cools over time? Then reheat for boiling?

[accel]

When did you pull up the hopbags? I've looked at a lot of videos and everyone's missing to explain this part.

[mattysmith]

Hi there. is there a rule of thumb for how much water you need? when a recipe says 10 liters batch size, how much water do i put in the kettle? thanks

[joseaponte]

HI, My Friend good video good tips, , but I have one question, how can I to calculate my full volume BIAB No Sparge, thanks

[G-townbrewer]

Was your sparge water the same temperature as your strike water?
