Thanks for all feedbacks!

I have further questions/comments here:

1) Could I use BIAB with an immersion heating system? If stainless steel, shouldn't it be fine?
2) How does coil HERMS work => could I use one of these (http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/custom-herms-coil) with my SS brew kettle without having to make a hole in the kettle?
3) To answer to morticaixavier, for a double portable induction set up, one guy is using that technique with success apparently, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMHNPCNYAww

Hard to decide when my budget is limited to around 200$/300$...

Cheers

#1 the answer is yes but you have to have a fool proof way to keep the bag off the element otherwise you will put a hole in that bag real quick if and when your mash temp starts to drop.... also for the size boils you want to do that bag will be very heavy and difficult to hold/maneuver at cabinet height in your kitchen. I have no direct experience with BIAB but it seems best an outdoor operation operation for bigger batches. Google BIAB images and you will see some of these monster bags.
#2 that is a big question. Check out https://byo.com/hops/item/1325-rims-and-herms-brewing-advanced-homebrewing for more info. it is a article by BYO magazine.

my question for you is do you intend to do all grain batches or extract or not sure yet?
And are you limited to using one vessel/pot for the whole brew day?
