Thanks PP! I am at work with access to the calculator and my Hop Bill is not computing right. Must be too low of gravity to show up on chart? Will you guys have a looksy? How did I do? What do I need to do different? Thanks everyone.

I am transfering my first Biab to a secondary fermenter and cool crashing it. Now I need to do another batch to keep beer flowing. Here is my next recipe. It is a Kolsch. I think I got this figured out but I can't use the calculator due to not having a copy of excel at home. It is read only. Will yo...

I tend to not pay too much attention to the airlock activity. But I do watch the wort. I have not seen any action in the wort after 36 hours. I will take a hydro at the 72 hour mark.

Thanks for the feedback Hashie. I did a google and red that California Ale would take around 48 hours to start kicking if you pitch straight from the vial. I will go give it a swirl. All in all this was a good learning experience. Need a bigger spoon or paddle. Make a starter. Get a faster acting th...

So it has been 20 hours and still no action in my fermentor.

I think it might have got too cold? I pitched the yeast at just below 80 degrees. It got down to below 60 degrees in my shop. I moved it to a warmer location. Is it too early to panic? Never had this happen before.

I now have a cake of trub about 2 inches. So that is not bad. I think it got a little cold in my shop last night. No yeast action this morning.

It should be rolling when I get home from work though.

Well I did my first batch doing Biab. :thumbs: Thanks to everyone with the recipe conversion. :clap: This is pretty much the maximum I can do in my kettle. I was focused on getting everything right with the recipe, I did not pay attention too much about trub. I now have a 6 gallon carboy fermentor w...

Oh.. and I made a couple of assumptions in the recipe. 1. I assumed that you're going for 5 gallons bottling volume. 2. I looked at the kit on Austin Homebrew Supply and noted that the expected OG is 1.052 3. I assume the hops go at 60 minutes 4. I assume the hops are 5.5 IBU 5. Guessed the width o...

Will my 44qt Kettle be enough?

I have been brewing Partial Mashes for over a year now and have decided to do the BIAB method for All Grain. 5 gallon batches are large enough for me. Will my 44qt kettle be large enough to use?

Hi my name is Todd and I live in the Pacific Northwest. I have been brewing over a year now, mostly partial mashes. I just upgraded my set up and will begin my BIAB adventures shortly. Homebrewing is one of the best hobbies I have ever picked up. I love beer!
