      Hi guys. Hope somebody would be helpful enough to have a quick look at my recipe (see biabacus file)
      
      1- I'll be using a 32L boiler and I'm determined to get between 21-22L (hence the volume alterations)
      
      2- With regard to the recipe this is my first attempt at my own after doing a few based on messer Wheelers book
      I'm aiming for something with a bit of punch, very hoppy e.g. Joker IPA, Proper job, Ghost ship etc but I want something around the 4.1-.4.4% Mark. I think an IBU of 70 would get me...

      Section B says you have 32 L (8.46 gal) kettle capacity and Section K says your mash volume will be 31.96 L (8.44 gal). Just above where it says Section B there is a red warning - Mash volume approaches kettle limits. I do not think you will be able to stir that without spillage, and if you have some sort of bag protector on the kettle bottom that holds the grain bag up, it gives even less space at the top (volume of the thing, if not its height). It would be easier and a simpler brew day if...

      Hi Guys
      
      I have attempted the attached brew. Its only my second one and I managed to get 20L of wort into the fermenter at the right OG :thumbs: So happy days but I want to improve
      
      Trouble is at the moment I am using the Biabacus retrospectively. Looking at the numbers it seems impossible so I'm guessing I have something fundamentally wrong (albeit I haven't fine-tuned it for my boil off etc)
      
      Retrospectively to get section K to show my actual numbers I have tinkered with section W. (I.E. I...

      Thanks for all the replies. I have now bought a 33L boiler and a larger mash bag. Getting 20L of 1.046 wort from a 19L pot was an interesting experience though and It can be done. Nothing wrong with the taste to me but if a full volume version will be an improvement then cant wait.

      Quick question guys. I've brewed a couple of beers now in my 19L stockpot. With post boil dilution Ive managed to get about 20L so far.
      
      My last brew required 3 hop additions (one bittering and two different hops toward the end) In total I used 3 hopsocks. By the time I removed them before I chilled my wort I was almost crying at the amount of wort those socks can actually hold and therefore steal from me :nup: :nup: :nup: .... I didn't want to squeeze as im not sure if its the done thing
      
      So...
