Electric BIAB kettle build
Posted: Fri Dec 01, 2017 3:00 pm
So here are some pictures of my BIAB setup for 2.5 gallon batches.
Started with a 5 gallon pot from Amazon and added ball valve, 2000W element and thermowell. For the basket I purchased a SS bucket at princess auto and drilled holes in the sides (might need more holes).
I just finished up my first batch last week and was able to hit most of my numbers.
One issue I did have is evening out my temperature during mash. I had hot wort around the basket but the grains were progressively colder as I checked closer to the middle of the basket. I did stir often and even recirculated by draining in a bucket and dumping it back on top but still had some trouble keeping it even.
Cheers!
