      Brew day started off a bit rough - had to exchange the burner TWICE because something was wrong with the manifold. Finally got a non-dud (or did I...) and started off.
      
      Ended up with 5kg of Pale Malt, 350g of Munich Malt and 250g of Malted Wheat into the mash with a strike water volume of 39L. Burner worked well and got my water up to strike temperature in decent time. Mashed for 90mins at 67C. Required re-heating at 60minute mark from 63C to 66C. Heated to 78C for mashout, then pulled bag to...

      Another BIAB day done and dusted, went with a modified Cali Common (Chinook over NB forced due to supply), and I essentially hit my gravity into fermenter and volumes right on the nose. Day went more smoothly, and I'm getting more comfortable/less prone to panicking!
      
      No pics of the finished thing yet, but here's the early start:

      Well, the 3 ring burner is assembled and the 70L pot is on the way, so I guess it's time to put together a recipe to test it out. I'm sure there are other people who've converted Jamil's APA into a BIABacus, but thought I'd give it a go too just to have a play around. This will most likely be the first brew I try. The only real contention is going for US-05 or the Mangrove Jacks West Coast yeast.
      
      The second file is an attempt at converting a very low integrity recipe to a BIABacus, just...

      Thanks, Scott!
      
      APA:
      1. They're placeholders for now, I'll update with the real measurements once the pot arrives
      2. Yep, I have two 30L fermenters, but didnt want to go too big to start with
      3. Good catch - I've seen that recommendation but didnt update the sheet
      4. I'll update that one too
      
      Other recipe:
      1. Apparently all late additions can get similar bitterness (with more hops of course) but it's more rounded , or so I've seen Jamil cited as saying. I guess I'll see!
      2. Yes, maybe I'll try...
