Re: BIABacus Pre-Release - Your First Impressions

I may have misunderstood your question stefanoch, but evaporation is the loss of water during boiling of wort. As you mention, diameter of the kettle plays a part, but also wall thickness, fuel type, kettle shape, indoors/outdoors etc. It is fairly consistent regardless of volume in the kettle thoug...

Re: Shortening my brew day

Another alternative, that also comes with risks & rewards is overnight mashing.

My best advice though is to try different methods & use what works best for you.

Re: Whirlpooling with Immersion Chiller

I don' brew that often now, and when I do I no chill so cannot help with experience.

I originally thought that others had success with drill attachments but that may be hit and miss too.

Re: Kegged vs. Bottled Beer

Interesting post Scott. I guess beer just never stops evolving at any stage. Seems odd to swing one way then back, but.... :scratch: I am not sure where your taking your "samples" though, Are these from the keg, or the other bottles? Have you tried a taste test against all the types of storage at th...

Re: Transferring near-boiling wort into cube

Mally I have done a bit of research on the "jiggler siphon" and the only ones that I can get readily, are those used for transferring petrol and other non-food grade liquids - certainly not boiling wort. I guess I could try cutting out the copper end bit and putting it into a length of silicon tubi...

Re: Transferring near-boiling wort into cube

Before I had a SS siphon I used my 1/2" silicone tubing with a jiggler, but often found it quicker/easier to put the tube in the boiling wort (for sanitation), then when ready to transfer, just pick it up (kinked to stop flow) with my silicone gloves on. Make sure one end stays in liquid then place ...

Re: Water added to ferm calculations

I havent looked at your files to see the actual differences, but the 1st thing that comes to mind is that the hops will "remove" more sugar as the concentration goes up. The sugar is tied to water, and you cannot completely avoid removing liquid when removing hops from wort. The amount of hops requi...

Re: My second BIABacus plan

This was something I wrote a long time ago.

BEGINNERS GUIDE (3).pdf

It may help with understanding terminology & why we do it?

It is buried in a thread on the site somewehere, showing how it evolved. Give it a quick look and see if it helps.

Re: Partigyle Planning Using the BIABacus (An unoffical draft guide)

I think it is due to the enzymes being dissolved in water (liquid) not the grains.
Therefore, when you boil the grains, you are denaturing some enzymes, but not the bulk of them, as they remain in the "unremoved" part.

Re: First BIAB with my bros

Re: Replacing some base malt with DME for a BIG Beer

The reiterating mashing is a lot of work and careful attention must be given to pH but it does have the potential to produce High OG batches even using BIAB. If I ever do another reiterating mash it will not be by BIAB as sparging a double BIAB grain bill is inefficient and inconvenient. I think th...
