I dont know about into the fermenter but if he has his grain in a cloth during mash it's BIAB....Makes the road to AG all the easier to start with.

Has he given a reason for this? I can only think he does to try reduce sediment.

Yes he was doing biab and strained the wort after cooling as it went in to his fermenter.

Agree it can be only be to reduce sediment. But I thought some sediment was usfull for the yeast.

 

I might give this a go...

I strain My wort through cloth as it goes into the fermenter. It filters the break and hop residue. It removes heaps of crap.

I do all grain.

Hi duke - I do BIAB and also strain into the fermenter after cooling. I have a swiss voile bag that lines the fermenter which I pull out after transferring.

 

Mainly to reduce hop/trub in the fermenter - works for me

Mr John H.... now thats smart.

 

I will have my slave make me one. I have to say the BIAB bag that she made is great and handles being hung from the garage roof. Bottling my first attempt tomorrow night.

Thanks.
