      I have done 6 BIABs now and am starting to feel more comfortable with how I am going but I am starting to look at things a bit more and have a few questions that would help me lots. I have been doing some google searchs for about an hour and am still scratching my head.
      
      First I use the calculator for my brews and it works great thanks to Pistol Patch helping me out. I will be giving beersmith 2 a demo tomorrow. First in a recipes from say Aussie Home Brewer in the efficency section they all...

      Shib: I always like undertanding what I am using and there's actually a lot of stuff the simple calculator version does that the fancy stuff won't :thumbs:
      
      chef: The trub figures that Pat used were just to get you started. Some people who use flowers and a whirlpool or hopsock would get very little trub so don't be surprised if your trub figs turn out completely different.

      Great to see you are making headway Chef :peace:
      
      Seeing as you are getting the hang of The Calculator, maybe have a crack at filling it in for your next brew and then post what you come up with to this thread . Have a good look at Post #2 there before you post.
      
      If you reckon you are okay to do the above, then I will check it over in that thread. If not, keep asking your questions here and we'll knock them over.
      
      Good on you,
      PP
