      First time and I jumped in all the way. Big grain, yeast starter, learning fast. The recipe I thank Rick and friends for looking and correcting. WLP002 on the stir plate 12 hours before it flocculated. It had me a bit worried when I woke up and 10 hours later nothing had happened. Internet forums calmed my fears though and sometime after 12 hours this happened.

      Looks good... I wrap my pot with some Blankets and sleeping bag. (Be careful if synthetic touches burner...) good to be a tad higher than 5.25 VIF. 5.25 gallons means you would be about 4.75 gallons tops into bottles. I'd shoot for at least 5.5 gallons if not a tad more. Good job though. Looks nice. Like your Blichman. Burned and stand. I went cheaper on that side and it works pretty well. But Ive always had some envy for the nicer unit. ;)

      for starters I'm working off a Beer Smith Wookey Jack clone. I put all the information :I think: correctly into the BIABacus. The starting point of water in brew kettle is SWN correct? then how does TWN figure into the equation and does it matter? I'm not planning on any scaling either or should I have as BIABacus shows under WYWU? and I thought this stuff would be easier -Mash-Boil-Ferment-Drink with a few smaller steps in between. please critique my entries please hope to start the process...

      292 billion if you get all 5.5g into the fermenter. With hop losses it'll probably be closer to 5.25G. So, around 280 billion.
      
      380 billion if you want to over build to save 100 billion for future use.
      
      Mix the packs up thoroughly before pouring in the yeast, or else the stuff will come out like peanut butter.
      
      Here is the calculator I like for over building.
