Re: Clarification of terms

Success...I think. I have attached the *.xls file for reference. I was surprised by my low evaporation rate. I use an e-brew system with PID and circulating system. Maybe leaving the lid on reduced the evaporation rate? Maybe the boil was not vigorous enough? I kept temp around 212 F. Regardless my ...

Re: Clarification of terms

Yes it was a misunderstanding

Regardless I think I'm now on the right track. Yes my setup can boil. I'm trying again tomorrow....Cheers for the help!

Re: Clarification of terms

Hmmmm...now I'm confused. I have re-read the commentary and I think I was confusing the term mash and boil. In my prior brews I crash chilled the sweet liquor immediately after mashout...there was no successive boiling (that is no wort). To make this more clear I added my hops during the mash with n...

Clarification of terms

Hi, I'm about to brew another Amarillo Pale Ale. This will be my third attempt. I'm trying to record better and need some clarification on what I should actually record. I'm using an electric BIAB system. I am also using the mashout method as described in the commentary. 1. Mash Volume. At mashing t...

Question about end of boil volumes

My last brew Amarillo Pale Ale (2nd BiAB attempt). Had a specific gravity reading of 1.04 (low). Although I didn't record the volume in the end of boil I think my predicted evaporation rate was much less then predicted (that is....I ended up with more volume). For my next brew I'm going to record ev...

Re: Amarillo pale ale how to substitute cascade hops

Just an update. I ended up substituting based on equivalents weights...because I didn't bother to learn the AA conversion. Anyway it worked out fine...albeit a bit more mellow then I would have hoped.

Re: Amarillo pale ale how to substitute cascade hops

Thanks for the reply. The hops were just desiccated and put in a ziplock. Next time I will divide vacuum seal and freeze. I think I'll just use them for aroma since it changes the recipe less and causes less chance of a conversion error. I think I'm just going to do a straight up weight substitution...

I took everyone's advice and pitched yesterday. I already have vigorous activity so all looks well.

First brew pre-pitching question

Greetings, Just finished my first all grain BIAB brew day. I used the Amarillo recipe on this site as recommended in the guide. I think everything went well. I did 90 minute mash with mash out, 90 minute boil, and then used a plate chiller to bring back to room temp. The question is: I now have the ...

New question: The amarillo pale ale on this site calls for Safale - US-05 yeast...however it does not mention an amount. Can I assume one package 11.5 grams is correct (for a estimated 3 gallon VIF). Also does the method of pitching make a difference...i.e create a starter ala recommended in John Pa...

Ok thanks for the replies! So I won't factor in the volume of the heating elements. Never thought about volume loss from the drainage spout! I just assumed I would drain out everything...wasn't sure what king debris there would be in the bottom. I suppose the solution is to determine the predicted v...

Greetings from a rookie....haven't brewed yet but have a few

I wanted to start this thread before I brew to increase the likelihood of success. I'm still in the process of assembling my ebiab system (from Brausupply). I have a few questions to start: 1. In Biabacus after I enter my kettle size (a 36QT Bayou Classic). It populates the kettle fill height and ke...

Greetings, Great site! I'm a Canadian who is still pouring through the information on this site. I'm preparing to brew my first all grain beer. I just ordered an eBIAB system from brausupply (t's the 9 gallon mini). I'm glad I found this site...I'm just reading through the document and deciding whic...
