      I am glad you enjoyed the video. The video quality is pretty bad (my first video upload) and I want to make an updated version, but it is still the process I use.

    *Viewing this video has encouraged me to brew small batches.*
    *It's been about a decade since I last homebrewed. I am now gathering equipment to once again all-grain brew.*
    *I vaguely remember BIAB as a means of brewing, yet at that time it was only becoming a thing.*
    *I brewed on a 3 vessel system with two insulated coolers and a kettle.*
    *Now that I have seen the BIAB process, I have purchased a new keggle, and will use a 10 gallon Rubbermaid insulated cooler as the mash tun.*

      Glad I could provide a little motivation and good luck with your brews! Changes like BIAB and the electric all-in-one systems have helped to make all-grain brewing easier than ever

    Great video! Nice to see a fellow PNW home brewer on YT. Just getting into home brewing and I agree that 2.5gal seems to be a sweet spot.

      Well...I live in Cascades Virginia. I did spend a few years after college living in Redmond & Bellevue and used to be a member of the Cascade Brewers Guild. It took a long time for the beer scene here to catch up to the Seattle scene of 1999. Good luck with your brewing!

    Been debating getting into brewing for years, but didnt really want to do extracts. Been looking at all the spendy kits, thinking why is it so hard to just find a simple BIAB setup? This video was very informative for equipment needs as well as the basic process!

      I am glad you enjoyed the video. I am a big fan of batches in the 2 to 3 gallon range.

      I am glad you enjoyed the video. I have really been enjoying doing smaller batches on my stove. I find it to be a good balance of work/effort vs amount of beer.

      @@CascadesHomebrew I have access to a 10 Liter kettle (it fits on my electric stovetop and warms up quick enough). 5 liter batches from that, with the starterkit that I used.
      If I would want to scale that up I would probably move to a gas stove outside with a 30 Liter kettle. First have to get the hang of it!

    • @CascadesHomebrew
      @CascadesHomebrew  9 місяців тому

      For a 2.5 gallon / 10 liter batch, you could add half a pack of US-05 (around 2 g per gallon, or 0.5 g per liter). I will often just pitch an entire pack since a yeast like US-05 is fairly cheap and over pitching is not much of a concern. As far as yeast nutrient, you could easily skip it. I usually add it for lower gravity Kveik beers like this one.

    Just found this from reddit. New to the hobby, and wanting to do these small 2.5 gallon batches for now. I've done a couple partial mash recipes now, and wanna go all grain with BIAB due to space constraints. Is there an average size (total weight) of the grain bill I should shoot for? I know it'll vary by style, but if I can ballpark what my total weight in grain should be that's really helpful to guide me.
    Thanks so much!

    • @CascadesHomebrew
      @CascadesHomebrew  Рік тому +1

      A typical grain bill for a 5% to 6% beer would usually be around 5 to 6 lbs.

      @CascadesHomebrew  Місяць тому

      I generally mash for 60 minutes. I don't think the batch size has much impact on mash length.

      Agree. I tend to purchase larger bags and store them sealed in my freezer.
