      Hi all,
      I'm doing a stovetop 10L brew of a popular recipe I found on Beersmith and just want some feedback to see if I have used the BIABacus to scale the recipe correctly. Here's a link to the Beersmith page:
      
      And here's the BIABacus recipe:
      BIABacus PR1.3T - Bells Two Hearted IPA - Batch A1.xls
      
      Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
      Thanks
      Mike :thumbs:

      Hi Scott, thanks for the info I'll have to get that book. This will only be my second BIAB so at this stage I don't really know much about yeasts and what flavour changes they can make. Maybe after a few more brews.
      Thanks Mad_Scientist I'll check it out.
      
      Cheers
      Mike :clap:

      Hi,
      I have a couple of new brewer questions I need some help with.
      
      For my second brew I'm looking at doing a Passionfruit Wheat beer. In the recipe it says to add the Passionfruit pulp into the secondary (I'm kind of guessing secondary is when you transfer to another fermenter/brew bucket after fermentation?) and leave for 10 days. I don't have secondary, so is there a way I can do this without one? I see other recipes that specify adding hops at secondary as well. I was told that if you...

      Secondary, there are many reasons to use one ... but you actually have to have a reason for added oxidation and infection risk to be worth it. Personally, I don't sweat the latter ... but I do the former for many styles that I plan to age.
      
      Personally, I only secondary my hoppy and sour beers right now. The hoppy beers I just want to reclaim lost VIP by squeezing the dry hops, and having yeast soaked in is far from ideal. Sometimes I want to collect the yeast, and don't want the hop debris (I...
