   3. two beers one brew

      by shibolet, 12 years ago in BIAB Recipes

      

      here's an experiment that turned out to be two outstanding beers.
      i brewed 40L of one wort, split it into two cubes and fermented with a few variations.
      one beer is a Belgian Strong Ale and the other a HellerBock Lager (Maibock).
      
      the Bock was a huge hit at our Israeli Independence Day party last night. i downed 4 pints and got a very nice buzz ;)

   4. Simple BIAB Calculator

      by mrgstiffler, 12 years ago in Measurement, Mathematics and Records

      

      I created this simple calculator so that I could get all of my numbers right. I've found that it works extremely well for me. It's easy to use and does only what you need to brew a batch.
      
      Let me know what you think and if there's anything I should add/change.

      You can enter batch size, og, ale/lager, yeast date/viability and initial cell count (or use defaults) and then it will help you work out your starter size, or steps for a stepped starter
      
      Highly Recommended :)

   9. Callum, England can you PM me about your CustomBIAB order?

      by EoinMag, 12 years ago in General Chit-Chat, Nonsense & Rambles

      

      Sorry to bring up business on here, I realise it's taking a bit of a liberty.
      
      My wife has had an order from someone called Callum giving BIABrewer as their referral link, but it looks as though your university spam filter is blocking the email she's tried to send to you. Can you send me a PM so we can sort it out?

   10. Guinness, Quarter of a Millenium

       by Beachbum, 13 years ago in General Chit-Chat, Nonsense & Rambles

       

       I've just read the book Guinness, The 250-Year Quest For The Perfect Pint by Bill Yenne. He obviously isn't a beer geek and a lot of the material was probably pumped into him by the Guinness PR department and it shows. For example when they decided to brew a lager and came up with the name Harp, they converted one of their breweries into a state of the art lager brewery and started brewing an authentic Bavarian Reinheitsgebot lager ..... erm hang on we're talking about bloody Harp Lager in the...

   20. ADO: Wyeast 1007 - German Ale Yeast

       by LloydieP, 14 years ago in Yeasts

       

       A Description of: Wyeast 1007 - German Ale Yeast
       
       True top cropping yeast, low ester formation, broad temperature range affects styles. Cold fermentation will produce lager characteristics including sulfur production. Fermentation at higher temperatures may produce some mild fruitiness. Generally, yeast remains significantly in suspension. Beers mature rapidly, even when cold fermentation is used. Low or no detectable diacetyl.
       
       Origin:
       Flocculation: low
       Attenuation: 73-77%

   21. ADO: Wyeast 1056 - American Ale Yeast

       by LloydieP, 14 years ago in Yeasts

       

       Very clean, crisp flavor characteristics. Low fruitiness and mild ester production. Slightly citrus like with cool (60-66F, 15-19C) fermentation temperatures. Versatile yeast, which produces many beer styles allowing malt and hop character to dominate the beer profile. Flocculation improves with dark malts in grain bill. Normally requires filtration for bright beers. DE or pad filtration recommended.
       
       Origin:
       Flocculation: Medium-Low
       Attenuation: 73-77%

       The Basics of BIAB
       
       What is BIAB?
       
       In simple terms, Brewing in a Bag is a process of wort creation (see Creating Wort ) where a single vessel and a bag are used so as this single vessel can act as what is traditionally known as a hot liquor tank (HLT), a mash lauter tun (MLT, more commonly referred to as a mash tun) and a kettle.
       
       The system is a full-volume method of mashing and sparging. In other words, all water (liquor) required for a brew is added at once instead of in stages. BIAB is...
