Thanks for all your help! Hmm, I'm still new at this so I'm a little confused. Are you saying that you changed values in the BIABacus to match the original recipe to basically fact check it to see if the calculated values match the stated values in the recipe? Yes, this is exactly what I did. I wasn...

Syncharmony - I set Section X - volume loss from lauter to 0.40 l/kg, per note. Regarding your post #110, no that recipe does not have integrity , let me explain. First I increased the kettle size for this troubleshooting process. I also made changes to two of your hop additions (last two to zero m...

I hope you have a 15 gallon/60L kettle to Do a Full Volume BIAB Batch. Or Have a 15 gallon Esky/Coleman Cooler to do the Full Volume Mash. "2 vessel Brewing" I am actually converting this for my equipment for a 2 gallon batch. I have a 5 gallon kettle. Here is the recipe report from BIABacus. I put...

Hey, I'm looking to use a recipe that is the same or very similar to this one. I'm curious about the integrity. It seems like it has figures for VIF (6 gallons) and VIB (7 gal) as well as GIB (1.066) and OG (1.077) I'm curious if I should increase the mash and/or boil time to 90 minutes to accommoda...

Looking for some feedback on recipe I have adjust a little bit to suit my needs. I am essentially taking the 'Who's your taddy?' porter from the Brewing Classic Styles book and adding some autumn/pumpkin spices to it. I just want to be sure I have converted the recipe correctly and everything looks ...

Your two sets of efficiencies were within 3% which is good, however you should have easily gotten the 84% efficiency. It could very well be one or more things going on, water chemistry (as mentioned), some grain didn't get crushed enough, too high of a mash temperature (during some of the mash time...

I did not do a mashout. The numbers being there were a holdover from the original document and I must have forgot to remove them. Is a mash-out pretty much required each brew with biab? Or is a recipe to recipe determination? I've read conflicting information on the subject, some recommend it and so...

Missed my OG! Advice needed for next time.

Hi guys, I had my first brew session not too long ago and overall it went pretty well. I tried to be as organized as possible and wrote up a checklist to follow and tried to apply all I've read to the process. I included my BIABacus with all the information updated for my actual volumes and gravitie...

Hi Josh, Yeah, that's exactly what I did. All other calculations are being handled correctly, I guess perhaps the formula under F is backwards? That's what I'm going to do, just multiple the recommended additions by 0.4 and use that. Then if it's lacking in spice, it says in the recipe that you can ...

Quick question on section F of the BIABacus. I'm prepping a recipe for a Pumpkin spice ale that I got out of Brewing Classic Styles. In there he has listed adding Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg and Allspice at 1 min left in the boil. My assumption is that you put these values in the Misc section rather th...

Everything looks okay, but I would ditch the amber malt for the IPA (unless somebody here can vouch for it). Considering the low gravity, 7.7% would be okay for a direct substitution with crystal malt. If you want roast, I would drop it to about 5% and sub in something like Victory, Biscuit or Arom...

First Brew this Saturday plus recipe check for second brew

Hi Guys, Brand new to BIAB and brewing in general. I've spent about a week on the site digesting the biabacus, reading through forum posts, watching videos and reading How to Brew. It's a lot to take in and some of it is still confusing but I'm sure a lot more will make sense (and perhaps more quest...

Hello, my name is Adam Schmidt and I'm a newbie getting into the world of home brewing. I have decided to perhaps be a little reckless and skip the whole extract brewing process entirely and jump straight into all-grain with brew in a bag. It seems like extract brewing just compromises some of the e...
