All in One Pilot Brewing System Medium BIAC (5-in-1 240V/20A)

I wanted to let you know how impressed and pleased I am with my BIAC.I made my first brew a few weeks ago and the 3in1 performed beautifully. Being able to Mash, Boil and Ferment all in one vessel made my brew day shorter and more enjoyable.Controlling mash temperatures precisely is a great advantage. By using the power of 240v with a 5500W heating element as on your system, just kicks it up a notch. Having a rheostat on the power box (not having to fiddle with the digital controller) to control the amount of roll in the boil I found helpful.I brew high gravity beers throughout the year. Having a mash colander that can handle large amounts of grain is a plus. In the past I have had to mash twice to get to the gravity I wanted. I really dislike adding DME and or extending the boil. As you know it messes with the color and makes for a longer brew day.Having a water jacket for cooling, and maintaining the fermentation temperature is a fine addition. The large surface area, less chance for contamination and not having to clean a plate chiller, priceless…well almost.The 3in1 will allowed me to sell and down size a bunch of my brewing equipment. I don’t need carboys, chillers, buckets, ice chests and a refrigerator taking up space.After fermentation and transferring to kegs, I had an easy cleanup and placed all of the fittings, valves, hoses and control box into the colander and rolled the 3in1 into a closet. Cheers to you!!

I received the Microbrewery BIAC system this past Fall 2021 and it is great. I have brewed everything from Session IPA's, Triple Hop IPA's, Porters, Saisson, Lager, Pumpkin ale and a Shandy. Easy to put together and after a few times cleaning and cleaning the reinstall is a breeze. I just bought the chiller which I git today and I am excited to put it to work. If all works out I am going to the largest system BrewHa has for a potential microbrewery on our farm. I would recommend BrewHa to all.

Very impressed with the quality of the Medium BIAC system as well as the components (clamps, hoses, pump, etc) that come with the system. As a brewer at a local microbrewery, I am well in tune with cheap parts vs good quality. Everything I have purchased from BRewHa have been of solid quality. When the system arrived, it was very straightforward to assemble (I do have experience with this type of equipment). Bags of components were grouped together so you could figure out where things went. Not to mention, I did read the manual and watched most all videos before purchasing the BIAC, so The one thing I did not get was the chiller. I plan to just use water, however may still get the chiller for summer months. Just brewed my first beer in the BIAC, a Pale Ale. Used Brewsmith to create my recipe with BRewHa Mash and Equipment profiles. Kettle heats up from about 50 degrees to a target strike water of 161 in about 45 mins at 100% power. This first recipe had 22 pounds of grain into a strike volume of 13 gallons of water. I will say, I was not able to lift the colander up more than two inches due to weight and vacuum created from pulling up against the water. I ended up draining out wort using racking arm wort into two buckets, then was able to lift up colander to drain. May need a hoist for future brews. Only negative I have thus far is the racking arm needs to move freely regardless of gasket type. Hard to move with regular gasket and hard to seal with Teflon one.

I’ve had the Brewha for about a month now and to sum it up with one word is amazing. Buying a system that costs this much you expect a lot, and Nathan delivers. My wife bought this for me for my birthday and Nathan helped her get the exact system I needed (wanted). Shipping was fast and reasonable. The set up was daunting at first but having a simple understanding of how it works I quickly got it together. My first brew I made a few mistakes only because it was my first all grain brew. The beer still turned out fantastic and is the best beer I’ve made to date. The customer service is hands down the best I have ever experienced. I had a few questions and I received a reply from Nathan in 9 minutes. I don’t believe there is a product that can even come close to the Brewha. I’m proud that this is a Canadian product and would recommend Brewha to anyone that wants to make great consistent beer.

Love it! I’ve brewed once on this and am still learning it’s capabilities. The jacket holds a little over a gallon and is not enough for a traditional sparge. I’m adjusting recipe to either skip the sparge or use a separate heating vessel for heating sparge water.

Although I’m not fermenting in the vessel everything is a breeze with the large BIAC. One small issue is burning on the element. But other than that an awesome product!

Brewing my second brew this weekend.. First brew went very well.. Carbonating it now..I’ll let you know how it comes out... Excellent product...! So happy..!

This system is extremely well thought out. The BIAC makes exceptional beer and gives the brewer exact control over fermentation temperatures. This systems lets the home brewer take their production to the next level and is thoroughly capable of professional production.

This was a huge step upfor me. I have been brewing on a homemade system that cost less than 400$ all manual.After I figured out where all the shiny bits and pieces went and got over my anxiety about using gear this technical, I had a great time, Everything was very intuitive and worked well. I made a Dunkelwiezen that had 50% wheat Malt and had no problem with the mash sticking, The pump worked well and was surprisingly quiet .Chilling and clean up were so easy. Nathan was a pleasure to work with through out the whole process, even when I couldnt find some parts and was panicking and called him on the weekend. My one problem that I encountered is That I haven.t found a way to remove the pump from the system by myself and not get beer all over the floor,I look forward to using this very well made system for years to come . I can;t recommend this company enough, from the quality of their welds to the extra mile customer service-they are exceptional.

Nathan was beyond helpful during the entire process of choosing the equipment I needed all the way to shipping to my house. Any questions I had were promptly answered and handled in a fast timely matter. Loving my BIAC so far!

I have just racked and bottled my first batch of American PA on the small BIAC purchased 1 month ago! Everything worked perfectly! The equipment arrived very timely, and was packaged extremely well. I was able to complete the majority of the set-up with the user's manual and on-line reference materials. Nathan was super supportive on several occasions to get me through - greatly appreciated! Even answered a couple of my emails well after hours and a weekend on brew day! This has been an awesome experience! Thanks again!

Excellent! love how compact the unit is, I can brew easily in my condo dining nook, roll it over to the kitchen sink to cool with tap water then roll it back into place for fermenting.

Used once so far and its really nice, kinda what i wanted in my garage. Brewha the way to go all in one.

I absolutely love the system. Nathan has really developed a wonderful product. The quality of the BIAC and all the additional parts are top notch. With less cleaning and vessels to heat, our brewdays are much stream lined. I highly recommend this product if you want to take your home brewing to the next level.

We have brewed two batches on the small BIAC (5 gallon) and it's so easy, it feels like we're cheating. The whole system is a thing of beauty. We haven't carbonated in the 4-in-1, yet. Can't wait to brew more.

“I Love using the 15 gallon/Large BIAC system, first few batched that I have made have turned out great! I have gone from extract to all grain and the BIAC system made it easy. The BIAC system gives me much more control over the process and has allowed me to start cold crashing for clarifying which I never had the option to do before!

Quality equipment that greatly reduces time spent cleaning & sanitizing while virtually eliminating contamination risk. We've brewed 7 batches on the system and we're still amazed each time at how much easier and more enjoyable brewing on this system is. We've made some seriously great beer and have confidence in being able to replicate any batch. I wouldn't want to brew any other way.

I purchased my third BIAC form Brewha recently, this time, the brand new 4 in 1 in a large. I'm happy to say the quality is top notch as usual and performs identically to the 3 in 1. It's a heavy piece of equipment and will surely stand the test of time.In fact, I pressurized the jacket by mistake with no ill effects. The tangential port is a nice addition for which I use a carbonation stone. Bottom line, there isn't another product out there that comes close to Brewha. Recipes can be brewed with consistent results allowing you to perfect your brews.

I have been using a BIAC Medium for about a year to brew beer at home. I went to UC Davis for Charlie Bamforth's Introduction to Homebrewing class last December. I really enjoyed talking with Joe Williams, their head brewer, and looking at the ways that he has built economy into what he is doing. Many students were amazed at simplifications he had introduced, but I had seen many of them before in the BIAC. The one thing they had at Davis that I didn't have was a conical that could withstand pressures closer to carbonating pressures. They would do blow-off/krausen for a while and then would shut off the vessel while still connected to glycol and allow continuing fermentation to come along and carbonate the beer. I wanted one. Then, the 4-in-1 came out about a month or two after I got home! Brewha innovation strikes again!!If I sound like a fan boy, I am. I think they make great stuff. For me, I wanted some more bits to make it a truly second device, such as blanks and clamps and seals to cover the heating element when using this as a bright tank and for lagering. I also wanted the ETC to be a little bit easier, like including silicon thermal transfer compound in the box. Overall, those are pretty small nits and easily mended. I'm eager to taste my first beer. One thing I think I can recommend, though, is conditioning with a valve on the top of the BIAC so that you can release some CO2 before kegging, etc.. One of those tips you dial in as you use the machine.

I purchased the medium BIAC in March of 2014 and have been using it ever since. This system is great in every aspect - compact, quality, ease of brewing, and can be used in many different configurations. One of the best things about the BIAC is the lack of cleaning required. On brew day, you fill it up with water, mash, boil, and chill. The only piece of equipment that needs to be cleaned during brew day is your mash colander, and it's as simple as giving it a quick spray and scrub, about 5 minutes in total. The jacket is a nice feature for two reasons: 1) you don't have to clean/setup a chiller on brew day (saving you time and aggravation) 2) you can hook up a heating/cooling source to control fermentation temps. I've been running a glycol chiller to cool the wort during fermentation, and in the winter I turn the chilling function of the chiller off and run an aquarium heater to bring the temps up a bit. On kegging day, transferring to kegs is a breeze, and cleanup is quick. It's really nice not having to move equipment around.In the end, there's nothing I haven't been able to do with the BIAC. It's a quality piece of equipment that can be adjusted to suit any brewers style. Also, the customer service I've received has been outstanding!

I was ready to buy a SABCO. Had the money and called to place an order. In the last moment, I decided to read a few more reviews in some of the forums. That was when I read about the BIAC from BrewHa. I was immediately attracted to the "easy cleaning" of the unit. I left a message for Nathan who called me back immediately. His customer service skills are superb. He made me feel very comfortable with the BIAC not only on the phone but through his videos. The unit was shipped on time and arrived in excellent condition. When I finally had an opportunity to brew with it, I realized that this system is absolutely phenomenal. When I told Nathan it was hard to remove the colander due to the weight of the grain, he immediately posted a solution and video and created the cables for lifting of the basket. I would also like to thank Ryan M.(another happy BrewHa owner) for his support. He has been very nice about guiding me with my BIAC. Overall, I am extremely happy and highly recommend the BIAC. The quality of this system combined with Nathan's superb customer service skills makes me a happy brewer.

First off, this is a very well-made piece of equipment. Living in an apartment without easy access to outdoor space or a 240V outlet, the small BIAC is a near-perfect solution for brewing all-grain with minimal space/cleanup.It is definitely very different from other equipment I've used, so the learning curve is substantial, but Nathan has been amazing with customer support. After 3 batches, I'm still figuring out how to get the best results. There seems to be a fairly small window of strike volumes you can use without leaving the grain uncovered or overflowing. Perhaps some of the guesswork will be taken out of the process with the upcoming Beersmith update. Although the pump is not necessary, I feel it might be worth the extra investment to ensure consistent mash temps and utilize all the strike volume in the cone section.That being said, I'm very impressed with the BIAC overall. If not for this gear, I'm not sure it would be feasible for me to be brewing the way I want. After a couple batches worth of experience, it's much simpler to use than other setups, and cleanup is a breeze. I'm sure I'll grow to love it even more as I get to know it better.For anyone in a similar situation, I wholeheartedly recommend the small BIAC. In fact, even if you don't live in an apartment, you should seriously consider this system for the innovative design, ease of use, space-savings, and cleanup.

Making the transition from stove top brewing to all grain had a bit of a learning curve for me. The service from Brewha was outstanding. I always receive rapid responses to emails, and even a personal phone call early on a Saturday morning to troubleshoot my problems as I learned to use the equipment.My major apprehension about buying this system was that the heating element would prove to be inadequate. That has proven to be unfounded as I am able to bring my full volume to a boil in less time than it took to bring a partial volume to boil on the stovetop. I also wondered how effectively I would be,able to cool my wort with the cooling jacket. I have been able to pitch my yeast within an hour of completing the boil, and do not have to transfer to the fermenter. Brew day is much simpler.Still learning to use the equipment's full potential and having a great time.

I did a lot of research before purchasing the BIAC and in my opinion it is the best home brew system that money can buy. I have had nothing but great results so far and it is so easy to use that even a complete beginner can brew great beer from day one.I know because I had never brewed anything until I received my BIAC.
