I'm trying to find a tripod from my iphone. Once I do ill be taking some vids of my BIAB setup.

I would recommend others take some videos of their setup too so jimmy can post them on his site.

Was thinking of something small. Not sure if suction cup would work in all situations.

That's not a horrible price, but still 35 bucks I guess.

I brewed Rory's Red Irish Ale from KG tonight, and couldn't help but think my hops wanted more breathing space. The cheese cloth I wrapped them in were bulging after the boil. The specialty grains didn't expand as much so were not too confined. At the moment my brew kettle is only large enough to use specialty grains and extract. Do you think it would be worthwhile using a BIAB for a 15 litre pot when brewing recipes with specialty grains? If anyone else has been doing this, how did it go?

u wanna keep the cheese cloth as open and free flowing as possible to get the best hop utilization. most people build a hop spider for this.
