      This was my third biab brew day and the first one where I tried the recipe listed above. I got a new kettle for Christmas so not only am I still learning the process for biab but I also had to get to grips with the kettle.
      
      The brew day actually went very smoothly. The pre boil Gravity was 1.040 with the estimated value being 1.041. I was happy with this and knew that I had managed to keep a reasonably constant temperature throughout the 90 minute mash.
      
      After the 90 boil I took another...

      Hi all,
      
      Having completed a couple of BIAB brew days I want to step things up a notch and I'm planning to start with NRB's Amarillo apa recipe. I want to brew this with a slow chill step for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I don't have an immersion chiller and secondly I want to be able to eliminate as much 'faff' from the brewing process as I can. It's not so much about cutting corners, it's more because I have to juggle a busy family life and I don't want to be brewing into the early hours of...

      Thanks pat, this is all great news! I haven't bought my hops yet so hopefully they will be ok! It's also great to get an idea of what the apa recipe should taste like in comparison to a beer that I have tasted. I am mainly focusing on this recipe as I know it has high integrity. Any errors will more than likely be mine and mine alone so I can at least learn from my experience.

      Hi everyone,
      
      Firstly, apologies if I have posted this in the wrong forum. I'm new to BIAB, homebrew and also this forum and I'm slowly getting used to how things are done around here.
      
      After being given some condensed instructions / recipe from a friend I have actually had a go at BIAB as I write this. Its still in the fermenter so I have no idea how it has actually turned out! After this I started doing some more research and found this forum. It didn't take me long to work out that I have a...

      I agree with nosco.
      Once you are comfortable with your beer making process; smash beers are a great way to test how different malts and hops alter a beer.
      The Amarillo APA has been tested and tested; so you will be able to get a lot of help if something goes wrong.
