So I should be lowering it [evaporation rate], or wait for more 'attempts' and then adjust after that.. Having a lower estimate would mean I end up with more wort as opposed to not enough? All this can get a little confusing. Even I have to stop for a second when reading things like the above to ma...

Totally agree with mally. There is nothing to analyse/worry about here as yet. You have done a great job at collecting volume figures but there is only one gravity reading. On the next brew, try and get a gravity reading into the boil and, next weekend, after you have agitated/aerated the wort befo...

First BIAB - Help me understand the numbers

So yesterday was my first BIAB attempt and I think it mostly went to plan..Did the All Amarillo APA Did a 90 min mash, stirred while bringing up to 78 degree mash out then a 90 min boil. Few areas where i missed the mark, but only slightly so I think it went well.. Any thoughts on the following (BIA...

Hi Bob, firstly, thank you for posting this, I saw that thread by Dr Smurto a while ago and it's been on my to-do list. Noticed on the BIABacus file that the title says with centennial but the hop additions are Amarillo as per the original recipe. Just wondering if that's a typo? Not a biggy and ap...

That's excellent Bob! That version is after I corresponded with Dr Smurto last so that is great to have it updated. Only one small correction. On the right hand side of Section C, you didn't need to put the EBC as it is the same as the original grain. (You only need type it in if it is different.) ...

PP,
Have re-attempted the Dr Smurto's Golden Ale based on his recipe shown by the man himself here - http://homebrewandbeer.com/forum/viewto ... 11&t=11013

Using the 'award winning version' recipe as the source

Does this look more on the money?

A quick post but see the end re cube hopping. Citra-Smash: In Section L, 21 is already written into VIF. (All files have that I see so, just delete that in all the files.) Thanks... missed that one.. Section L is for recording 'actual' data so future recipes can be 'adjusted' based on your actual o...

Hi Bob, 1.3T is the file to go for. The Div/0 error is being caused by you having a B beside all your grains. There should actually be nothing there. Only use a 'B' (meaning added during the boil) for sugars and extracts. So, get rid of all those B's in Section C and all will be good. You'll also f...

Thanks...
So with removing those does that mean the 'defaults' for that Amarillo Pale Ale recipe show a VIF limit of about 21L based on the 40L urn dimensions?
(without doing something like upping the expected OG and adding water afterwards)

Trying to put a few basic recipes into the BIABacus for my first couple of BIAB attempts (new 40L birko urn), but am having a few issues.. Starting with the 'basic' amarillo pale ale recipe I have both the 'K' and 'T' version of the spreadsheet but they give me differing results regarding water requ...
