That's ok Mally, thanks, i'm all sorted now, I just freaked out :o because my volumes dropped when I selected Y for hop sock and I wasn't sure that there would be enough wort left at flame out to fill my 2 x 16.3 ltr cubes and leave the trub/hot break etc behind in the kettle. Obviously when using a...

The whole issue of how to enter hops as a no chiller into Biabacus is a bit iffy for me at the moment. The problem being that the amount of hops entered as boil hops should affect the volumes in section K, in my case i have entered some hops as 10min additions although these will actually be cube ho...

Ok, on to the next small problem, when I selected Y for hop sock I noticed that my most important volume has changed (decreased), that volume is VFO. This is the most important volume measurement for No Chillers and the one area that the Biabacus falls down. As you know the volumes in section K are ...

Ahhhh, righto Mally, i only mentioned it because you said after the boil,thanks for clearing that up :) I never considered the strike temp and I new that the grain bill changed depending on volume of water in the mash. My thinking was that if I entered that I was withholding 10ltrs from the mash but...

Hi Dazzbrew, Ideally you want to get your mash volume as close to maximum as possible with a little headroom & breathing space that is safe to operate. Doing so will expose your grain to more water, increasing your kettle efficiency, & thereby reducing the amount of grain required. Hey Mally, I hop...

As for knowing the 6.0 gallons for that recipe, there is actually not enough info in the recipe to deduce it. How I did know is that the authors, Jamil Zainasheff and John Palmer actually explain the volumes they use in their recipes in the book Brewing Classic Styles. In most published recipes on ...

Not that the finished colour of the beers i make (up until now being can brews) are important to me as the most important goal for me is to make great tasting beer, if i search the net hard enough will i find a lis...

And here i have filled out the origianl grain bill with both weights and percentages. I have also tweaked the hops weight to get the ibu closer to the recipe, not sure if i have done it right. so which of the attached BIABacus file should i continue on with? weights or percentages?

Here is a couple of screen shots of the recipe

[MODNOTE: Have deleted pictures as they are quire large to download. Note important points are original recipe VAW is 25 litres and percentages in original recipe are percentages of extract not percentages by weight. See PP post below.]

Hey guys I have a question about entering recipe info from another source into BIABacus. My LHBS has it's own software where you can choose a recipe from their library, tweak it if you like or enter your own recipe then submit it as an order. The problem I have is with the grain bill, the recipe I h...
