Re: My First Post! - Post here to become Fully Registered

Hello gdp66 , and welcome to the forum! I always would recommend going a little larger than you plan to brew. Can always scale it back but cannot scale it larger without new equipment. For example, I thought 10-gallon brew kettle would work for my planned 5-gallon batches and almost went that way. O...

Re: German Rauchbier Recipe

Awesome Greg! Nice to hear. Let me know how it turns out. A couple guys at my homebrew group thought it good but slightly harsh... Not my opinion, theirs. Kind of like a person having their first IPA, but this is not “over the top” at all, in my opinion. If brewing “for the masses”, perhaps I would ...

Re: My First Post! - Post here to become Fully Registered

Hello and welcome to the forum DBC , seniletoo , and MoonBrewer . Sounds like you all have some brewing knowledge. seniletoo - ability to post pictures should be in the software when you make a post. But instead of adding to the First Post section choose one of the other sections that fits what you ...

Hello Steve Kaplan ! Thank you for your post and welcome to the forum! If you like beer and like to drink beer, I would recommend skipping the mini-batches and go with at least 5-gallon batches. If you like beer - 5 gallons goes pretty quick. Do you have some styles that you know that you like? Usua...

Re: My First Post! - Post here to become Fully Registered

If you love the beer, can find out what sort of flavor hops are used and purchase some... Always can change hops. There are many good ones. The BIABacus file that ShorePoints recommended to you is really a phenomenal tool to help you with brewing and figuring out exactly how much to use, etc. If que...

Re: Use this thread to convert recipes to suit your equipment...

Well lager fermentation can be up to 21 days. Seems like mine is done normally 14 days or so. Could be a couple days longer sometimes... Just make certain fermentation is 100% complete before beginning cold crash. A few days extra never hurts anything...but if fermentation is not complete it causes ...

Re: Use this thread to convert recipes to suit your equipment...

Yes, it's there now. First off - good job on filling out the BIABacus! :thumbs: I do not see any problems with how you filled it out, provided that you correctly put in the dimensions of your existing boil pot, and I'm sure you did. Good job! Helles is a really nice style, very easy to drink. I've g...

Hello TurfMaster and Bicanna . Welcome to the forum! ShorePoints has links to the BIABacus file and CBT (Clear Brewing Terminology) pages a few posts up. These are located in the BIAB for new brewers section and are a real help to brewers of all levels! Let us know if there are any questions, and we...

Re: My First Post! - Post here to become Fully Registered

Hello Cobraboys2 Welcome to the forum. I think traditional full volume BIAB is a great step up and you will enjoy it tremendously. And nice to hear you have an understanding wife. :thumbs: I’ve got one of them too. ;) Highly recommend using the BIABacus file to help with your brew days. Let us know ...

Re: BIABacus Pre-Release - Your First Impressions

cuthburtb , The input on the left side of the screen shows recipe inputs for a recipe of a given size. Hopefully all that is correct. The What You Will Use to the right of that modifies the recipe for your system, and depending on your batch size will alter the inputs needed. When I was brewing a s...

Re: My First Post! - Post here to become Fully Registered

Hello thomas papak and Jebi - and welcome to the forum! Thomas - you will want to download the BIABacus file as it has the info you are looking for. This is good advice for all brewers. And I would also review the CBT page (Clear Brewing Terminology), both from the BIAB for new Brewers section. Let ...

Re: MS and hurricane Michael

Hello @jhough... Sorry to hear your wife has been in the hospital! That’s a sad situation. Wondered where you had been.

How is MS...? Sounds like a bunch of folks up there are also in need of a bunch of prayers! The news video looks horrible, but sometimes certain areas are better than others.

Re: New Gear Acquisitions and their impact on your brew

That sounds like an excellent piece of equipment to add, especially with living in Florida! :thumbs: I have one where I live in Oregon and it enables me to brew lagers at cold fermentation temperature in summer. I have a large rubber band that fits around my fermentation and a small piece of bubble ...

Re: Use this thread to convert recipes to suit your equipment...

Dreadpiratewes - think I forgot to mention, I don’t really “lager” my lagers besides trying to let them stay at serving temperatures for up to a month or so. But not always. If I am out of German Pils, it may get tapped and start getting poured within a few days. If you have space for it, some say ...
