is there a theory as to the efficiency of hop sack vs free floating dry hops in the ability to add hop aroma oils to the beer? I am ready to dry hop an IPA and am waffling between the bag or no bag. Also at day 5 if bagged is it a good thought to remove at say day 10 when planning on racking to bott...

brilliant - very useful information - thanks a million

Would other brewers give some experiences and statistics on using 3ring (approx 25MJ / hour rated ) and 4 ring gasburners (51MJ rated) on a 50L stainless kettle with say 37 liters of mash water - 34 liters of wort to boil? - what kind of times are you experiencing? and how much gas are you running t...

How important is the "micro air filter" ? Is in inline? where do you find one? - thanks

I'm going to try a similar recipe shortly - the low IBU for a deschuttes fresh squeezed IPA like beer at around 60 is at odds with the very high bitterness to gravity ratio of nearly 1.0 - any thought or considerations that I should make?

I can get the Dry Hop treatment but shouldn't the actual loss amount from kettle to fermenter impact the Volume at Pitching ? How is that number calculated (or how do i get that number to appear)? I'm basically looking for stepwise refinements on my way to the bottling process in terms of increasing...

Hi on my 5th all grain brew and appreciate the tools and help here. I have a couple of questions: 1. The "actual pre-pitching volumes" doesnt seem to have automated connections to the rest of the spreadsheet - intuitively I would have expected actuals to override expected for the remainder of the br...

thanks but i still seem to have some issues with permissions - i dont seem to be able to download the abacus or associated files. i get the following message printed in highlight on the forum message "You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post." anything i'm doi...

I've joined a couple of months ago and have obviously posted my first post in the wrong place. I'm from Melbourne Australia and am now brewing Mini BIAB with a 19L kettle - hoping to upgrade to a larger burner in the next few months and use a typical BIAB configuration. I like American Pale Ales wit...

I can see that I've left the requisite first post but i dont seem to be recognised as a registered user and am unable to down load the abacus - is there something else I need to do?

thanks,

joel
