I currently have a 10 gallon kettle and a bag that can be winched up. I'm hopefully about to upgrade to a 20 gallon kettle so I can do 10 gallon batches.

The 8 gallon kettle may be a bit too small for five gallons. I don't know. I'm still new to BIAB. I know my 10 gallon kettle gets pretty tight. It's filled almost to the brim.I guess you might be able to do it with the 8 gallon if you add water after you drain the bag.

The picture below is me doing a regular pilsner. I think the grain bill was 8 or 9 pounds, if that helps you with scale in the picture. Can't remember.

Just want to quote this, as it doesn’t say saison.

I currently have 3 beers fermenting. I’ve never had that many fermenting before. Still have 2 kegs with beer in them, and only 1 available to fill. I guess I need to drink up.

NEIPA and chocolate satsuma stout in the kegs currently.

Got a barleywine in one of the kegs aging until winter.

Fermenting beers are a saison, NEIPA and now a kettle sour. NEIPA and kettle sour will be served at Zapp’s on April 14th.

Thanks BB!

Maybe I’ll give a small beer a shot on my 8 gal and see how it goes someday soon.
Then I’ll look into a bigger kettle.

I don’t think I have the space do full on all grain equipment, so I figured BIAB is a nice next step.
