      I'm planning an imperial stout brew this weekend to the below and attached recipe, it's probably a bit late for feedback on this brew but if anything looks very wrong then please let me know. Not sure where the #VALUE! are coming from in the report, if anyone has any clues then let me know.

      So i managed to bottle this on the 17th June after leaving it at 22°C from the 5th June until the 12th June then 4°C until i bottled it. I'm quite interested in how cold crashing will effect the brew.
      
      I managed to get 40 x 330mL bottles out of the fermenter after transferring to my bottling bucket which i'm quite happy with. Also took a sample to confirm FG at 1.022 and it tasted pretty good. I've aimed for about 2 volumes of CO2 for carbonation and the bottles are currently sitting at 19°C in...

   2. Albino squid assassin clone brewday

      Started brewday at 10:30 this morning and got everything mashed in no problem. 90 minute mash and everything up to the boil by 1:30pm, have now noticed my tap leaking. Not sure what I can do about it other than just live with it while the boil is underway. Will need to get some decent heatproof o-rings for next time, and check the tap at boil temperature!

      Have been using Brewers Friend to put my recipes together previously but thought i would give BIABacus a go as it seems a bit quicker to use and i like all the information it provides. I've attached my recipe for an Albino Squid Assassin clone from Brewdog's DIY DOG v2 PDF.
      
      I have already bought the ingredients for this and have set the VIF to 17.35L to match the amount of malts that i have bought as close as possible. I may be slightly low on hops, as i have 20g of Magnum, 165g of Chinook,...

      Ah right, sugar i dissolve in about 100 - 200mL of boiled water and add to the bottling bucket and give a quick swirl to try and mix it evenly.
      
      I have read that it is best to add the sugar solution first then rack on top of it which i may try for my next brew as i think it sounds easier and safer than stirring, no need to sterilise another item to stir with.
      
      Usually use a couple of online calculators and take an average amount of sugar required, i use corn sugar for priming also rather than...
