If you can run your probe down to the bottom on the outside of the bag whilst heating, you will see higher temps there then inside the grain bag. The best way to get to your target temp is low heat and stirring. The inside bag temp will eventually catch up to the outside bag temp. So would you floa...

Yep I'd love to further discuss any feedback in the other thread. Ask away regarding the pictures! I think you forgot your second question? :) Yeah the temperature probe end of the wire was just anywhere in the wort at a given time. Although I did make sure to move it around a bit or dangle it in th...

It's all good Chris and I know how exciting it is to do your first few brews so smack me on the head and send me a PM if I ever am killing your vibe :headhit: :lol:. Glad to hear the brew is bubbling away and I reckon keep that thread full of the exciting news and use this one to see if we can impr...

Hey PP Sorry I didn't respond to you directly, I definitely read your post. I followed your and the other poster's advice and decided against a sparge. I only let the bag drain for a while in my bottling bucket and squeezed the bag a bit and poured that back into the pot. It wasn't much that I got f...

Thanks! It was mentioned to measure the height of your wort either by from the bottom up or just the headspace. Sections U and V are great for this. Armed with this, you will be on-track for discovering your efficiencies much better. Ooh didn't see this. This is exactly what I need :). Will be looki...

I wouldn't bother changing any settings in the biabacus at this point, it will take a few more brews to work out if there is any serious discrepancy. I probably won't change the efficiency but I'll adjust the strike temp. and maybe the boil-off rate. A 90 minute mash will make a difference to your ...

The BIABacus is calibrated to get you over target OG by .001-.002. Of course, everything has to be processed correctly to achieve this ... which IMO is not "difficult". In most cases, water chemistry is to blame for poor efficiency, but most will just tell you to crush finer (which is silly advice ...

Thanks Rick, you're a champ! The edits you did illustrate well how the layout was intended. What's a realistic efficiency to expect on my first batch? 80 seems a bit high to me. I'm thinking my process will be the "upside-down colander in the bottling bucket" thing. I'm also thinking of sparging the...
