Looks a lot like what I have going. Bought a induction burner and did my last brew on it. I'm doing full volume 3 gallon batches and have a much larger pot wrapped with that reflectex material.. However, I'm only use it to get up to mash temp and maintain it there for my 90 minutes. After the mash i...

:) IOW is short for "In Other Words", FWIW- For What It's Worth, IIRC- If I Recall Correctly, etc. Above.. SV refers to what I was commenting on in message 24.. I was talking about Secondary Volume. Too many acronyms.. I know. Glad you are feeling better. Sleep and a vacation from BIABrewer might be...

Thanks PP. Yes, the only information I have on the beer is from the website of Firestone Walker in S.Calif. The only added information I have is a little personal interaction with the head brewer. He gave me SOME information.. but, not much. Just enough to modify the original grain bill I asked him ...

I think the comment Joshua mentioned about heat pockets is very valid.. or, at least, it has been for me. On my last brew, I used an induction heater (IH) to help keep my mash temp up to snuff. I'd turn on the IH and stir a bit. Got the temp up to mash temp and covered. Opened about 10 min later to ...

My recent Oatmeal Stout showed an EBC of 154 and an SRM of 78. That is with the 19 L recipe. However, when BIABacus recalculated for my 11.4 L volume, the EBC dropped to 120 and the SRM to 61. I don't understand BIABacus enough to understand why the change.. but, that's what I see in Sect C. The ori...

Sure does make sense. Thanks. I wonder if I may not have expressed myself properly. Without a doubt, knowing your system is key. I think picking up as many data points as possible are notches in that key. Soon you will have a key that works. I wonder if we could use an anal-ogy of a theoretical high...

This is an interesting topic. Considering we are all shooting for some level of consistency.. To my late dad's dismay, I have to admit I'm math challenged. Let's say we are doing a 90 minute boil.. Considering there is a difference from day to day from humidity and/or the strength of the boil (which...

Well, FORTUNATELY, I found the file.. Where? I actually posted a copy of it on the thread "Starting With Cold Water" where the Mad Scientist spent an inordinate amount of time helping me with numbers. I thought I 'might' have posted it but couldn't find it. Frustrated, I searched in every recent pos...

Well, after my 'puffed up' comment above.. I'm quite distraught. I have no idea what happened. After my comment I took a gravity sample intending to 'finalize' my last brew. I went to put it in BIABacus.. and the file has TOTALLY disappeared. Gone.. POOF. How, where, why? I did all kinds of searches...

That's good to know. When I first started playing with BIABacus, I ran thru the issues of PP getting back to me with all the OOPS's that I did.. some of which were about protection removal. I have quit using Apple's Numbers.. and OpenOffice. I did finally learn to use OO.. but now using LO and like ...

One further question on Sect Q... Dave, thanks for the answers to Secondary Volume. Now, I need to understand the difference between Secondary Volume and Volume into Keg. In this last iteration, I have (so far) used NO bottles.. I put some priming sugar into the ket and racked all my beer into it.. ...

M_S..I don't have anything that I could call accurate enough to do that job.. Digital bathroom scale.. but I'd have to calibrate it.. If I can.. I could weigh a few gallons of water and find out how near/ far it is from that golden point.. Might be an idea.. Thanks for that... Lumps.. I saw that yes...
