yes fully agree PP it is easier to top up than to boil for longer. It was just the boil off seemed 50 % more than predicted . I never know what is a good rolling boil and what is too much.I had it so that the middle of the pot was boiling and then flowing towards the sides .This is my interpretation...

thanks joshua as I said in my first post I was pleased with the final result and can top up or boil slightly longer to get the correct og or brew length. I now realise my boil off is probably about right not to fierce a boil which was what I wondered.I will try and adjust the boil off on the baibacu...

when I checked on a calculator at my high above sea level boiling point is indeed about 98 c. however whether it also affects boil off rate I dont know that was the point of my post ,although maybe I didnt make it very plain.i was hoping someone more knowledgeable than me might chime in with some an...

gentlemen thanks for your input Am I correct in reading if you use enough binder clips(bulldog clips as I know them) you can keep the bag from falling in and not touching the element? I assumed that the bag would collapse in the middle to the lowest point ie touching the element even with the sides ...

yep that is why I mentioned a cake rack or something similar in my prevoius post.having a problem finding something 18" (45 cm) wide though.I am assuming that the bulldog clip idea wouldnt work for the grain bill because of the weight involved ,or would it?

hi all a bit late as i have hung around the forum for a few weeks now.I am Paul an englishman living for the past 8 years in Corfu Greece.I have brewed on and off 3 vessel for many years ,but I have only I test BIAB brew in a 40 litre boiler under my belt.I have converted a 70 litre stainless pot to...

sorry pp didnt mean to not reply I actually missed your post .I tried the link and also got no pictures but mally has corrected that. yes my aim is to increase production and cut down on cleaning /space required as my shed is full and the brew gear just gets pushed under the bench out of the way.I a...

mad scientist it is a bought one like this .I believe they are available in the usa stores .they seem to work fine for my beers admittedly they are not hop heavy brews but I have never had a problem either draining or recirculating on my herms aetup link http://www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/cgi-bin/s...

hi yeasty yes thats me with regards to efficiency my trial 19 litre brew using buffalo when you input the figures into BIABacus I got good efficiency in the 80% mash and 75% brewhouse .this was not including my sugar cockup just grain bill figures .As I have mentioned I was quite happy with this.I s...

thanks PP just to put you in the picture I am new to BIABbrewing having done only one brew in my 40 litre buffalo urn using my pump and a microwave rack with a voile curtain as a bag and hop filter fitted,but I have done many AG brews with my 3 vessel herms system but that is limited to my 38 litre ...

hop stopper yes or no

not quite sure where to ask this but here goes i am building a 70 litre recirculating setup.I have noticed some pictures of peoples setups using only a pickup tube and no filter.my question is during mashing do you only need a support to keep the bag off of the element not a false bottom and during ...

I use a small amount of CRS on my buffalo after I finish brewing, as it has a concealed element and a slight recess that holds about 1 teaspoon full of liquid.After about 1 minute all the residue is dissolved and then I clean the boiler as normal

yeasty
just looked at the new calculator seems good ,but I couldnt see how to input sugar inth e fermentables box it said go to extract potential adjustments but cant work out how to use it .must search for help in questions and answers

I have got to the bottom of This input the figures on my other computer and got a totally different grain bill so adjusted the og down until I got the grain bill shown on my other computer (this was 1.035)I also changed the efficiency figures to 50 % and the program adjusted grain bill accordingly. ...

yes yeasty it is draught bass 19 litres og 1043 pale malt 3460 gr crystal malt 180 25 gr challenger hops 90 minutes (A/A 7.6) irish moss last 10 minutes mash 66c (151f) 90 minutes boil 90 minutes FG 1010 ABV 4.4% bitterness 26EBU colour16 EBU unfortunately when checking my hops today I had no challe...

well my planned brew didnt happen it will be tomorrow for sure. I input my 19 litre recipe for draught bass into the calculator and it increased the grain bill from 3.640 grams to 4.471 so I will go with that it will be intersting to see what happens Paul I am going to use my 40 litre buffalo urn an...

thanks yeasty I am planning to do a brew tomorrow ,I have never brewed BIAB but could give it a try as I have a voile curtain I could use. It would be interesting to try a brew and compare with my 3 vessel results as I have brewed this recipe several times I could use the 40 litre buffalo boiler I h...

I know this is an old post but if you still frequent this forum I have a couple of questions I have a 100 litre pot and a 70 litre pot .I plan to convert one of them to a BIAB recirculating setup like this one my questions 1) what is your minimum brew size(I see lines marked that i assume are final ...
