      I have a 32 litre peco boiler so as you know what kind of quantities i am looking for

      Yeah Lumpy's right. For sure smack the smack pack at start of the brew day and let it provides starter for the yeast. That's its purpose.

      Hi all
      
      I am just preparing and getting close to doing my first ever brew.
      
      I am going to use the Hoppy APA Mash Kit from Get`er Brewed.
      
      My question is this. The kit states that i am aiming for a FG reading between 1.010 - 1.015 but my Stevenson Reeves states DO NOT BOTTLE (OR KEG) UNTIL HYDROMETER SINKS BELOW 1.006 OR BOTTLES WILL BURST....
      
      iS iT sAFE :)???

      I focus on the distance between OG and FG. The larger the delta the more AVG .
      
      I'm lost. What do you mean The larger the delta (I get that) the more AVG. what is AVG? It isn't in CBT that I can find

      I have not got a setup yet and am seriously considering this one in the link
      
      Just wondered if anybody had had experience of this particular kit or opinions of it? or any other suggestions
      
      Thank You

      Welcome to the forum Margate :salute:,
      
      I think it's important to get your first BIAB set-up right and one of the first keys is understanding that BIAB, as intended by the pioneers, is a full-volume, single vessel, mashing/sparging method. The 'starter' kit yu linked in your original post, to me, is not really pure BIAB as the kettle being sold is way too small to fill the fermentor being sold in the kit. This tells me that they will be expecting you to heat sparge water in a second vessel and...
