BIAB bag size for keggle

[Kevin O'Roundwood]

From these lads - biab.co.uk. They offer 3 sizes, 40l, 60l and 100l. What size do people use with their keggles?

Cheers lads and lassies

Buy a voile curtain in penny's for four quid and make one. I managed to get two out of one curtain.

Keggle is 50l and you would need some overhang so I'd say the 60l one,but best to contact the company

There is a member on here sells them as well, they are quality but you might have a wait

At the rate I'm progressing with this keggle build I can afford the wait! I didn't know he was still making them though. I'd prefer to buy one from a more local source so to speak, and buying the voile would entail me doing some sewing - I can just imagine the stitching bursting when I'm trying to get that last bit of wort out and destroying the gaff in wet grain!

Back to the original question, I have one of the 40l bags from brewinabag.co.uk and it won't fit a keggle. It's designed for a burco. I'd say the 60l one would do but send him an email to be sure.

Pity as his product was top notch

[Kevin O'Roundwood]

Ah right Garry, I thought your kettle in the brew wiki was a keggle. On closer look it might not be alright...

I'll send them an email there and let ye know

I have a keggle, but the way I have it done, it's really not suitable for BIAB; The elements are too bulky and I have the top skirt cut-off except the handles, so there's nothing to wrap the bag around at the top. If you haven't attacked the keggle with an angle grinder yet, I'd recommend not cutting off the top skirt or else cut it off completely. Also keep the elements as low as you can.

I use my HLT (40l burco) for BIAB.

[Kevin O'Roundwood]

 Ah right, thanks Garry. The skirt is cut down already leaving handles but I reckon it should be alright. The biab.co.uk people got back to me saying they've no idea which size would suit cos they've never used a keggle but to just measure it up myself and compare dimensions to the ones listed on their site.

[Kevin O'Roundwood]

Just measured it up there, I'd say the 60L is most suitable,  it'll be a bit baggy but the 40L wouldn't fold over the top by my reckoning. Should be plenty material to get over the handle with the 60L bag too

A lot of American sites recommend a bag nearly twice the size of the pot. Having extra is a good thing. Last thing you want is the bag opening falling into the pot spilling grain etc.

Kevin, I got one from these guys in Canada. They are custom made and very good quality.

Nice one Enda, with the exchange rate being what it is it's six-of-one between the two price wise.
