Re: Changing OG of a recipe in BIABacus

Thanks for the response! It appears as though entering in a new OG just increases all grains maintaining the exact same percentages. I was hoping there might be some way to tell biabacus to ignore those grains that aren't part of the mash. It does just about everything else you could hope for so I c...

Changing OG of a recipe in BIABacus

Hello! I feel bad that I scarcely post here and don't check up on posts promptly enough but the truth is I don't get to brew that often either. I began my brewing journey around the same time as I started my fatherhood journey so that's just how it goes I suppose... I had a question regarding adjust...

Romanian Homebrewers?

Hey my central European brew buddies, I currently live in the US but relocating to my wife's home of Bucharest is seeming more and more like a possibility. I'm wondering what the homebrew scene is like there. Are there local shops is it easy to get ingredients, what is there for readily available eq...

Re: Use undersized bag til I make new one?

Thanks ShorePoints I took a look at the truncated cone and decided to go with the tapered pillowcase design since I wasnt sewing it myself. It was easier to explain. I may just have to make one of those. Though I've heard people have had a lot of success with the tapered pillowcase as long as it's b...

Use undersized bag til I make new one?

Hi my most helpful brewing compadres! For my first BIAB I used a cheap LD Carlson brew bag that was plenty big, too big, for my 10 gallon kettle. It made a good beer and dis not fall apart despite its loose weave. In the meantime I bought voile and made my own simple tapered pillow case design bag. ...

Re: My first BIAB, first AG

Thanks Scott for looking it over. I did the "quick lager method" so I had about 8 days in before ramping up the temp to finish off. I didnt get this recipe from BCS (though my original source may have done) I also only lagered about 2 weeks before bottling. Theyve been conditioning for about 10 days...

Re: My first BIAB, first AG

Well I had to make a new file but I can finally upload my BIABacus. If anyone is still able to find the time to "grade my work" with my first BIAB(acus) attempt, you're a star!

Re: My first BIAB, first AG

It has taken me way too long to get this file from my phone and onto the newly fixed computer with Excel. Surely you've all forgotten all about me after taking the time to help and me disappearing off the map... PistolPatch you said the file should be under 500 Kb and I can't figure out why my file ...

My first BIAB, first AG

I joined awhile back and used the amazing info here to build my BIAB setup (a budget rig, certainly) and have FINALLY gotten to do a true SV batch. I would appreciate any feedback on my process and in particular how I did filling out my actual numbers on BIABACUS. I have a new appreciation for the d...

Re: Shaken, not Stirred (aka James Bond) yeast starter method

Thanks for posting all those links! I recently came across a lot of this reading. This is the method I plan to use. I've just began making yeast starters. This will be a great all in one place reference. The developer of this method backs up his process with a lot of science. I'm particularly intere...

New Gear Acquisitions and their impact on your brew

So I think it would be fun to discuss the success (or failure) of newly added elements to our brew process. For if not here where else can we geek out about our brewing toys? I recently acquired a chest freezer that I converted to a fermentation fridge with an inkbird temp controller. I live in Flor...

Re: Use this thread to convert recipes to suit your equipment...

Scott thanks for the reply! I've definitely been studying the CBT thread and think I'll retain more over time. It will be a while til I get a chance to try this recipe but I'll let you know once I do. Once I try pure BIAB I may switch to a partial mash and top off a reduced volume boil in the ferme...

Re: Use this thread to convert recipes to suit your equipment...

Disclaimer. I have not yet brewed BiAB or any all grain or partial mash. I've only ever done extract kits and steeping. Please forgive my inexperience. So I took my first crack at the BIABacus. I took exploringamigo's 3 gallon conversion of a pilsner to see how it would convert to my equipment for a...

Re: My First Post! - Post here to become Fully Registered

Thanks Scott, My goal is to eventually increase my capacity to 5 gallons VIP which is roughly where I've been with BME brewing. This will work well with my carboys and buckets etc. It may also be worth noting I intend to continue bottling with no intention of kegging in the foreseeable future. The m...

Re: Brewing a Pilsner have bottling questions

This is exactly the recipe I was looking for! I would like to try BIAB before getting too deep in the BiaBacus and this saves me scaling to my mini BIAB capacity though I'll still calculate it out with my equipment stats. Will my 5 gallon kettle be large enough to mash this recipe? This would be my ...

Re: My First Post! - Post here to become Fully Registered

Hello! I've been brewing extract kits for a few years now and have been eyeing the BIAB method for quite some time. I live in central Florida, though I'm a native New Englander. I recently acquired a chest freezer to use as a ferm chamber which due to my local climate was a necessary first step to a...
