Re: biab location
Your boil-off could be around 10l which you'll probably not want indoors unless you have some effective extractor

I do mine on the hob in the kitchen with an extractor which vents to outside. I've only got a 19L pot which I use to do 23L Maxi BIAB batches, which works out great!

Re: biab location
My first attempt was with the pot on top of the hobs and the cooker hood really couldn't cope with the boil-off. Now in front of an open window in the kitchen with a fan to blow the steam away during the boil.

I brew in the garage with a 50l stock pot using a propane burner. I usually lose around 8 litres of liquor to evaporation.
