Second BIAB, think I've blown this one

Thanks for the reassurance. Beer tastes ok out of fermenter. Seems a bit sweet, bitterness of hops not getting through too much, but I am not sure that is not just because I am expecting it to be too sweet. It certainly doesn't have any off flavours and will probably taste quite fresh with carbonati...

Second BIAB, think I've blown this one

After a very successful first BIAB Brew (a Brewdog Dead Pony Club clone), I thought I would try something a bit simpler to allow me to develop an understanding of what each ingredient is actually contributing to my beer. Brew two is therefore a Citra APA SMASH recipe. Unfortunately I had a bit of a ...

First attempt at Biabacus

Hi Guys. I'm also looking to clone this beer, and came across this post. I just have a quick question about the recipe adaptation if that's ok? The brewdog pdf states a 75min mash at 62C- PistolPatch recommended increasing that to 66. Is that because BIAB requires a higher mash temp, or is there so...

Lessons learnt: check tap on boiler before brew (leaked), check new wort chiller (leaked), don't tell wife it only takes 3 hours! All smoothed over.

First Biab

First AG brew day today with 40L electric boiler. Chuffed to get a strong rolling boil without boiler mods and ended up with OG close to target, although ended up with much more wort volume than expected. Looking forward to waking up to (hopefully) lots of FV bubbles o. The morning, but for now, a w...

I appreciate this is a total newbie question, but why is Total Water Needed slightly less that Hot strike water needed?

Presumably I am filling my boiler to SWN level, so what is the difference?

Thanks for the help/advice. I have amended the spreadsheet and am getting more sensible figures now although IBU some way off the Brewdog "recipe" quoted figures. BIABacus PR1.3T - IPA - Dead Pony Club - Batch 1.xlsx Having read Pistol Patch's posts I now see that perhaps I should have started with ...

Joshua ... many thanks. Cant believe it was such a textbook mistake! You wont believe how long I spent looking at this and did not pick this up.
Need to research AA for Hops.

Cheers

Hello all, I am based in Edinburgh, Scotland and have been brewing from extract kits for a few years now and playing about with different yeasts and extracts. Equipment costs have stopped me stepping up to all grain brewing but a friend has recently introduced me to BIAB. I have just purchased a 40l...
