I'm sure I saw it?

I'm sure I saw a post in the biab thread that said how to use a 19ltr pot on a stove top and end up with a 23 ltr brew length in the fv. Have I imagined it or can someone please point me in the direction of it? Or explain it step by step to me?

Cheers

Here you go. A bit of refinement and 23L is possible:

There is this one half down the first page

However I use this method

http://www.biabrewer.info/viewtopic.php ... 63050b171e

Which means I don't have to mess about with calculators but I do get a variable brew length. I have a 21l pot and can get brews from 23-27l from this. I don't go any higher as it won't fit in my FV.

Thanks guys, appreciate that. Cheers Alex that's the one I was thinking of. I've just read that much stuff lately I can't remember what's where and even if I've not made some of it up!!!

Cheers

No probs, I've done 3 BIAB brews with that 19L pot and it's great. I initially wanted to try all grain without spending too much money. The beer is so much better than kits and so I bought a 33L pot from Powell Brewing earlier in the year and I'm going to use it for the first time on Sunday. Same method from that thread just bigger pot.

[Snipersunset]

So have you got a burner for the 33ltr pot as my hob couldn't handle a pot of that size

[alexlark]

Im gonna use it on the wok burner on the hob which is rated at 3kw

It easily kept a rolling boil with the 19L, I even turned it down.

Wish I had one of those, would sort my problems out

Just go electric Snipe. That is what I did! I got mine from MrLard (homebrewbuilder), very good build quality. Cost a bit, but worth it.

[Snipersunset]

I probably will go electric when I go bigger, but just want to dip a toe at the min. And £38 can be justified to SWMBO

[alexlark]

£38 can be justified to SWMBO

Lol, same as me. Got to do the proof of concept to keep SWMBO happy!

Your singing my song there Alex. Ha ha

Read this and inspired me to order myself a 19l pot. Going to make the jump from extract to BIAB

I'm glad my inane stupidity has aided someone on their brewing journey Sando

[THUMBS UP SIGN]hopefully it will work out. Looking forward to giving it a go
