Ah thanks Josh, That makes complete sense re the foam up! Can you confirm what the FWH is please I couldn't see it anywhere. And adding the 2.88ltrs during the boil won't compromise the OG or flavour or anything of that sort? I had it in my head, unsure why, that sparging was better? Other than that...
Hi everyone, I have received so much help so far on this forum and i think I've been able to understand the basics of the BIABacus. This will be my first attempt at a BIAB. I have got a 19L kettle and intend to use my hob/stove to do the brewing. I found a basic SMASH recipe (link in the BIABacus) a...
Brilliant! Some great advice again there chaps. Pistol, I did wonder what to save it as. I was using libre office in my Mac as my pc is kaput atm and I can't remember exactly what happened but it gave me about ten different options to save it as. One of them was .xls and I'm sure I clicked that but ...
Hi there, Joshua, thanks for sending that. As I said my pot arrived this morning and I've got my exact dimensions now. Pistol, I have read through the link you sent me previously and followed the post through entirely while putting in my own reading and writing them down. This is what I got Kettle H...
kyle, when your pot arrives let us know the dimensions. Also, what sort of beers do you like? That info will give us enough info to give you a recipe to start with. Your post above tells me that the BIABacus is a bit more familiar to you now - that's excellent and will serve you well. Hopefully, yo...
Thanks for all your help guys. I have been able to figure out the basics of the BIABacus with the help of another user. So everything is much appreciated. It has at least gave me a step for a hint on where to start. Mally I appreciate the guide. I'll have a look at that. So much to learn but it's in...
Hi guys, Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'll stick with my 19ltr pot the now as I want to stick to smaller batches. I'm struggling with the interpretation of the recipes and how to use the calculator and BIABacus. I'll stick with trying to learn this first and see if I can figure it out. Reall...
Hi shore, thanks for posting a reply. I've had a look at the BIABacus but it's waaaay past my knowledge level just yet. I've posted on a few forums and don't seem to be getting the answer that I'm looking for which leads me to believe that it can't actually be done. I was hoping to go into the LHBS ...
Hi everyone! And thanks for having me on the forum! After boggling my mind trying to suss out BIAB I'm praying that you guys can help me and/or guide me in the right direction. I'm new to brewing, got my first FV this January and have three extract tins under my belt. Really enjoying it and and want...
Hi all, I fully plan on coming back to this post to update it with better detail. However due to it being 0211 hours on a Sunday evening and myself properly starting to stress with BIAB I'll keep it short. 1: From the bonny land that is Scotland. 2: Heard about this forum from another forum, so far ...
