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 ye...

So i guess my question is around transferring or not the kettle trub to the fermenter. I have subsequently read Brulosopher's experiments that show it could even be beneficial to some extent, and even squeezing out an extra liter or two of beer would be big at this scale. Thoughts? There have been ...

Good job Aidan! What you achieved is a benchmark...and now know what will make the beer you produced. Now, minor adjustments from here to make minor incremental improvements in your beer recipe, and brew a better version of this beer next time. This beer will likely get better with some more time i...

Bottling day! First thing that's noticeable is the colour - much lighter than anyhting achieved with extract to this point. Decent aromoa (but not mind blowing), and I was a bit ineffecient with my transfer so I ended up with less than I should have, but other than that everything went quite well. N...

I also drilled out the burner this morning, the second ring in particular was much narrower than the other two and it was the one giving a bit of an orange flame last night. Some solid advice from this forum there! Variable pressure regulator is in the mail, but this is a good start!

Hi Scott, Awesome, I've gone back to fill out dates and things, I had been keeping a diary in a google doc too, but this is much easier. The BIABacus is really amazing, all of the information you need is right there, down to how full your pot should be at each stage... Makes everything a lot more co...

Jamil's APA - First BIAB

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...

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 re...

Jamil's APA check

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 fi...
