I made the switch to BIAB about 6 brews ago. Current setup is a 15 gallon pot over a propane burner and using a BIAB bag. Ratchet hoist to lift/hold bag. I have seen that some people are using a metal mesh basket instead of a bag. Just looking for any pros and cons to bag vs basket. I do not have any experience using a basket but below is what I come up with just thinking things through. Any others?
Bag:
Pros - less cost, easy to clean
Cons - might tear, could burn if sitting on the bottom and heat is on
Basket:
Pros - stronger (won't tear), won't burn, could use pot clips to hold basket up if not brewing under my hoist
Cons - more expensive
Thanks, Mike
