      Getting back to brewing after 1 year layoff.  I have 5 BIAB's under my belt, all with good results.  Looking to branch out a little by converting a BCS recipe, Weizen/Weissbier.
      
      I've followed these BIABacus conversion instructions:
      
      The rules for converting BCS recipes now become very simple. All the original ingredients go on the left hand side of Section C and D in the exact same weights they are in the book. Then, on the first line of Section D, type type 21.82 L and you are done. (The...

      I am looking to brew my third BIAB batch, and thought I might try my hand at cloning a recipe using BIABacus. I've tried to review most of the threads on conversion, to better understand the risks.
      
      Could someone review my effort to convert this recipe:

      Nice job.
      
      Picking at gnats, you can enter 40.4 IBU into Section D instead of the VAW. That lines up to his recipe exactly.

      First, thanks to all those who post here, the information and support is invaluable.
      
      I'm ready to do my first BIAB, using the recipe for NRBs All Amarillo APA.
      
      Attached is my BIABacus.
      
      I've got a ~5 gal kettle, and I'm expecting ~2 gal to go into packaging, producing ~20 12 oz bottles.
      
      Could someone review it, and please let me know if I've got the numbers right.
      
      Thanks again !
      
      Jim

      Thanks for everyones help on my first BIAB, things are going pretty much to plan.
      OG = 1.050
      
      Been cooking for 16 days, bubbles have stopped and 99% of the yeast cake is on the bottom of the carboy.
      Took a sample, it's very clear, nice color, tastes good.
      Current FG = 1.0161
      
      Things of note:
      
      1) Mash temp was high, was 155+ more often than not
      2) After 10 days, still had a very large yeast cake on top, advice here on the forum was to swirl it around. I did this for three days in a row, and...
