      So, I'm assuming that because there aren't already posts here on the issue that the problem is my end, but I can't work it out and would love some help.
      
      Before BIABing, hence before discovering this site, I had been using one of the many bulk priming calculators on the web. After making the transition, I still relied on these rather than BIABacus, usually because it was easier to quickly access via my phone.
      
      Now I have moved to all BIABacus, I have noticed the amount of dextrose required to...

      Folks,
      
      A few years back I went to one of the Lord Nelson's annual beer dinners. Much beer was consumed so the memory is quite hazy, but at the end of the night they cracked out one of their barrel aged beers. It was fricken amazing!! For me it almost tasted like whisky - a nice hit of strong but smooth alcohol, then an oaky finish from the barrel. There was a bunch of other flavours in there too.
      
      With that in mind, I wanted to do me a similar beer. I was thinking something fairly strong...

      Sorry guys. I am trying to avoid the forum atm as much as possible as I really need to focus on writing BIABacus help which is where my attention needs to be and where I want it to be at the present time. I also have a lot of other things tugging at my limited resources atm so...
      
      1. My posts above are not nearly as good as I would like them to be. Some of what you are saying herman is definitely correct and some I would disagree with.
      2. The bits I disagree with, Rick has written really nicely...

      So after many an extract and grain batch, I finally took the plunge and did my first BIAB last weekend. I did a mildly modified NRB's All Amarillo APA, and thanks to all the good info on this site, all went swimmingly.
      
      Well, I say all , but there was one thing. When I was cooling the batch with my immersion cooler I was whirlpooling the wart as I thought this is what I had to do. I then siphoned out while the wort was moving, which means the stuff in my fermenter looks like a nice, thick, pea...

      Triple gold? Nice...
      
      I am bottling this lot. I can crash chill it too. I think I'm going to have to rack this one just for the sheer amount of trub in the fermenter. Maybe then, after some time in the secondary, I crash chill it before bottling.
      
      I think the bag is ok. It was just the muppet on the end of it ;) Next time I am going to try letting the kettle settle after I've cooled it with the immersion chiller, and leave the whirlpooling to the professionals.
      
      Thanks for your advice guys!
