So I had to put off the 5-gallon batch the other day as my brother couldn't make it over and he wants to help, so I did a 1-gallon batch of Chinook IPA from Northern Brewer instead. It's bubbling away nicely. I have been reading into the BIAB method and bought a bag yesterday as it sounds like a good alternative to traditional all-grain since I'm in a loft with limited space. The biggest pain in the ass for me right now is room. The next 5-gallon I do I'll use the BIAB method and partial mash. I'm excited to see how this conical performs. The big draw is that you can remove trub from the collection ball after primary fermentation and secondary in the same vessel. It's debated whether or not contact with the trub will give your beer off flavors, and many don't transfer to a second fermenter at all, but I've found it does make for a cleaner beer. We'll see.
