      OK, so I just brewed my first BIAB batch- a california common from Jamil's Brewing Classic Styles book (p108-110).
      
      4.53kg pale ale malt
      560g Munich
      450g Crystal 40l
      227g Victory
      57g pale chocolate
      5830g total grain bill
      
      My equipment setup is pretty much the same as the one in the book-and i ordered the stuff before i found this site so I just used the exact amounts copied from the book.
      
      A screenshot of my equipment setup is attached.
      
      Brew details

      Hey guys,
      
      Question for you!
      
      How do you guys deal wuth starters in the calculator.
      
      Say fir example you get 20 litres into the fermenter and then add a 2 litre starter, you wil actually now have 22 litres in the fermenter resulting in a bigger brew length. How do you guys deal with the difference caused by the starter as surely it can mess up your effiecency figures.
      
      Do you just keep the volume into fermenter as 20l and then minus 2 litres worth of beer from the final bottling volume?...

      I settle the yeast, decant the starter, and only pitch the yeast.
      
      Properly aerated starter beer is nasty oxidized rubbish
