Round footed colanderMade of 0.4-mm thick stainless steel materialIt has tubular handlesComes with 13-quart capacityMeasures 16-1/4-inch diameter by 6-inch height
your process looks pretty good, i have the 15gal ss brewtech and i would get it without the thermo. you are just going to cause problems with the bag. another thing i would get is a giant whisk for mashing and creating whirlpools/oxegenating
also i use this giant colander on top of my 15 gal brewtech kettle to rest the bag in and squeeze with some silicone gloves. the gloves are a must with BIAB.
i used to use a hop bag but ever since going away from it i have found my beers have gained some hop character they were lacking before.
also make sure you are treating your water for chlorine with campden tablets before brewing, and if you want to go one step further you can build your water up from scratch. i fill up 2 6 gallon containers at the windmill express for .25c a gal and add gypsum, cacl, epsom etc from there.
After hating the cooler mash tun for reasons of space and cleaning, I returned to BIAB. Having struggled with pulleys and considering having a stellar BIAB filter made, I found this:Tablecraft (713) 13 qt Stainless Steel Footed Colander https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004W7U6H4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_mD37Sad5QILQO. Cheap and easy. Yank the grain bag, pop the colander on the kettle, and start heating to mash temp. Saves time on lautering, and can heat while it drains. Easy to press a bit out without worrying about bending anything.
Maybe it's obvious, but I thought I'd share.
Recipe today was an evolution of my Focal Banger clone (since I'm lucky to have some to compare), with a more new school NEIPA treatment: 11# Pearl, 2#GNO, .5# flaked barley, acid malt and 1.5# sugar. Chloride heavy water and Notty.
