      Hi guys, What I'm thinking of is using a SS mesh to make a bag. Does anyone know the aperture micron of voile so I can match it with the stainless?
      
      I was thinking of going with 415 micron but I can get smaller if needed.

      Efficiency into boiler: 80%
      Brewhouse efficiency: 75%

      Hi guys, I'm getting closer to my first BIAB so I thought I'd construct my first BIAB recipe in Beersmith. What I need to know is when setting the mash volume do I add the boil volume and sparge volume to get my total volume? It's just that the info in Beersmith says set at boil volume but one would assume you also need to add the sparge volume to account for loss to grain. I won't be sparging just draining.
      
      Anyway here is the recipe - A basic APA (I've done heaps of all extract APAs so will...

      Sorry Mat, I didn't realise you already knew Beersmith so ignore my last post ;). It is of course an excellent program and Brad works really hard at always improving it and his website. Nice to see you have got the figures matching so well. Looking forward to hearing how your first BIAB goes...
