Hi Guys,

I have been away awhile and looking to do another brew. I see that there is now version PR1.3T.
I think the last version I used was around PR1.3K or something. Is there anything I should be aware of that has changed since then?

Thanks PP for looking this over. I think I will have to get a scale of some sort to help me with my next brew. My fermentor is a glass carboy with no markings so it is tough to know how much gets in there exactly! All looks good mate except, I am wondering why your crystals are reading so high in co...

Bumping for PP.

Another question that I came across with my last brew is how to determine the volume at end of boil. I just got a chiller that worked great but having it in there makes the calculation difficult.

Instead of Maris Otter I am going to use 2-row and instead of the caramels they are using I am going to use a different one. I would like to get the color and maltiness close to the "original" etc... Great question Paudle :salute:. I think a good answer will take some time because I think there are...

Hi all, I have been brewing a few batches and think I have a handle on the BIABacus. I am basing this recipe from the Brooklyn Brewshop's beer making book which has interesting recipes but not all the details that make for a precise recipe. I have a question about the grain substitutions. Instead of...

Hi, Thanks for all your help in the past. I am just finishing off a delicious batch of an Anchor Steam Clone. The next one I want to do is a Porter from the Brewing Classic Styles book. I have created up the BIABacus for it. Does it look correct? I took some of the advice above. The color and IBU do...

The Hop Bill There is a big difference between the .pdf and The BIABacus IBU's. I don't really know if I have any answers here... For a start, I'm not sure what they mean by a 60EOB addition? Maybe it is just as Paudle has written it - a 60 minute addition? For the whirlpool hops, Paudle has writte...

Hi Mally and PP, Thanks for looking at this. The BIABacus is fairly straight forward and I am gaining a much better understand through all your posts. There was a lot of guesses that I did, that mostly seemed right :) I am thinking that you are correct with the EOBV-A being more. In the pdf there wa...

Hi, I got this recipe from http://jesterkingbrewery.com I have attempted to put it in BIABacus. I think I am close but not everything is quite matching up and I am not sure if I made a mistake somewhere. It is for a slightly bigger batch the I need ;) I talked to PistolPatch about it and he said thi...

So, it's all happening Paudle :P. Congratulations :salute:. That must have been a long brew day but a sensible way to go given the kettle size :peace:. A second kettle and bag or a larger kettle will make life much easier. Hope all went smoothly enough though ;). I just opened the first bottle yest...

Is there a recent calculator that has maxi-biab calculations? The most recent one that I have doesn't seem to have anything with maxi.

Hi I am looking to do a maxi-biab. Is there a calculator to use to figure out about how much grain I will need and about how much I will get out of it? The pot I have has a diameter of 30 cm and a height of 23 cm. It has a volume of ~16 L (4 gallons). I did a BIAB using it with PistolPatch's help an...

Thanks for all the help PP. I ended up going through the process twice to use up my ground grain. It was a long day but seemed to work out ok and gave me time to reinforce what I did. Next time I will definitely look into the maxi-biab techniques. When should I start to see something in my fermenter...

Thanks PP.

I have updated the calculator. I have measured my pot. It has a diameter of 30 cm and height of 23 cm. It has a volume of ~16 L (4 gallons)
How much water should I put in it and how much do you think I will get out of it?

Good on you Paudle ;), On the IBU's, you can't really rely on those unfortunately. Have a read of post #572 here . Hopefully that will explain the IBU problem. Let me know though if you need further clarification. :peace: PP Ok I am still confused on the Hop Bill, how did you come up with the end o...

Nice work Paudle and sorry for the slow reply. On The Calculator, on the Hop Bill sheet, change E8 back to 23.94 as that is the end of boil volume of the original recipe. ... Only other thing I noticed was that on The Checklist, you should change cell F6 to 78.5 and G60 to 67.3. ... :thumbs: PP No ...

Hi there Paudle, I'd mash this at 149-150 F. The 90 minute boil is not a necessity though in certain situations (crappy grain for example) it can prevent things like haze. A 90 minute boil gives you a bit of time to get things ready or take a break. I tend to do 90 minute boils and put my bittering...

Hi there Paudle, I've taken a few guesses at your pot diameter (which affects evaporation rate)and put your recipe into The Calculator. (Sorry, it's all in metric atm). Just focus on the first sheet for now and once you get closer to doing a brew we can firm things up a bit more. Basically, if you ...
