Hi everyone. I brewed my Petite Saison last night. I came up 5 points short of my O.G. :( I'm pretty depressed about it. I did a 90 minute mash and at one point the temp went down to 145, but that was toward the end of the mash and I brought it back up on the burner. I used the Biabacus ruler measur...

PP, Alright man I figured this all out. I remeasured my stock pot with a measuring tape instead of a ruler and I found my measurements were slightly off. I'm pretty much right on at 5 gallons (19l) now. I figured out how Section s works with the ruler measurements. Just To check it I weighed out the...

Arghhhhh. So my wife and I weighed a half gallon of water. (4.17 pounds). I used my electronic hopscale. We weighed the jug and pushed TARE. When we got to 4.17, the water was probobly a centimeter past the two quart (half gallon line) If thats accurate my dipstick is wayyyy under the correct measur...

Okie dokie. I do have a good rolling boil, though it takes a hell of a long time to get there. I do keep the lid on until I reach my boil. Once I start adding hops I take the lid off. After researching refractometer heat corrections I now believe my GIK gravity was incorrect. Mine was a cheap on fro...

Alrighty. I finally got some time to read through this and concentrate. Sometimes its like doing homework! Here is my belgian wit I brewed a year ago? Wow. It looks like my VIK is about a liter under the biabacus's estimate. That has def been consistent with all my brews only in the last one I sparg...

I did not. I certainly will next time, but I wont factor it into the recipe. I would love to overshoot my gravity just once! If I do then I can just dilute it more at the end. It looks like my next beer will be a petite saison with a very low ABV. All of my beers have been pretty big up until now. M...

Mally, I started my boil with 3.94 gallons and it boiled down to exactly 3.05 just like the biabacus predicted. The biabacus did incorrectly predict how much wort after I pulled the bag and drained. It was .3 or .4 gallons low. This has been consistent with every batch. Before this batch I didn't sp...

ok guys I finallyyy got some time to fricken concentrate. Here is my Galaxy recipe. Lets see. I was supposed to hit 1.067 OG and i unfortunately got 1.054. :( FML. I strongly feel that my mash temp is not the problem. I used two thermometers and I mashed for 90 min. I have done several partial mashe...

Balli, It looks like I was using the older biabacus. I will go with the new one from here on out. I have been away for ten months so I missed the update. I used a refractometer to take the reading. I took the reading after my dilution so I guess the temp was 140 to 150 degrees farenheit. I gotta res...
