Im stillrealitively new to this hobby with probably around 20 brews under my belt. BIAB is all I have done from the start as my neighbor got me into the hobby and he does the standard 3 vessel system. I love the BIAB for its simplicity and ease of clean up. I just brewed a pliny clone yesterday which had around 14 LB of grain and all I have is an eye bolt to pull the bag up from, works fine. I get my bags from brewcraft 24" square andthey hold up well. I do strain thru a fine strainer when I rack to the fermenter bucket. I really like this system.
