      Hi there Guys and Gals
      
      I need some help. 
      I am looking at brewing a recipe from Gordon Strong's book - Modern homebrew recipes.
      Now i am trying to convert the recipe into biabacus.
      But i am not sure of the VAW.
      
      This is the info the book gives me.
      Batch size / final volume  :headhit:: 25L (This is the issue as i am not sure if this is VAW)
      OG: 1063
      Efficiency: 70%
      Mash: 60min @ 64C
      Kettle volume: 32L
      Boil: 90min
      VIF: 21L
      
      Please see if my recipe detectiveness is correct. :peace:

      No. Remove the 70% from the BIABacus. That was only for detective mode. Removing the 70% efficiency allows the spreadsheet to determine the efficiency.
      
      Awesome - thx MS!

      Hey there guys.
      
      The attached file is of my brew day yesterday.
      I dont think it went too badly. Its just my post boil gravity and evaporation rate isnt what it should be.
      
      I know numbers off 1 brew isnt the gospel, i would just like a little feed back is all.
      
      Thanks guys.

      Congratulations JP and, as ShorePoints noted, great job on the BIABacus :thumbs: I know numbers off 1 brew isnt the gospel, i would just like a little feed back is all. That's great to read. It's very easy to worry about numbers too much on little evidence. ShorePoints, as always, has covered everything :salute:
      
      He asks about the whirlpool as you'll find it pretty much impossible to do one with any protrusions in your kettle. What you can do instead, is use your bag as a hop sock during the...
