Thanks both - your explanations make sense. I think because I've always been scaling other people's recipes until now I've become fixated on the right hand "what you will use" side of the Hop bill rather than the left hand "original hop bill" side. Now I think about it, it does make complete sense t...

Just heading out the door maevans but to play it safe, can you post two files up? One with the number and one without. I just want to make sure we aren't talking at cross purposes which sometimes happens. Posting the two files will solve that and make things easier to explain anyway. :peace: No pro...

Your thinking looks perfec to me maevans :clap: - the random number is necessary though for it to bother to make the calculation) That's the only sentence that bothers me in your post. Rick's probably answered it above but you shouldn't need to have a VAW figure in Section D when designing. The des...

Recipe Creation Question

I've been having fun brewing NRBs APA using the Biabacus 1.3 that is somewhere about the forum, but my mind has turned to brewing something else now. Is the below method a sane way of creating a recipe using the BIABACUS? I have a vague source recipe, from which i know: - Target OG - Target IBU - Ra...

Hi No need for all that, just add the total water you will need at the beginning, for example. If you want 23L into the FV then you add around 36L of water to your BIAB pot for the mash. For a beer with an OG of 1.045 your mash will have a volume of around 41L. If you pot is too small for this then...

Mash - grain/liquor ration

Hi all, Just putting a recipe together for an IPA. I think the only thing I haven't really got to grips with is the Mash thickness - i.e. the water to grain ratio. Is there an accepted range I should be aiming to hit between in terms of Litres to KG? EDIT: I should say, the recipe I've created is cu...

Looks like you've got no takers there maevans. Come on SOMEONE must have done an oatmeal / milk stout :pray: :pray: Hah, thanks - I think I'm going to use one of Jamils I found on the beerdujour website, looks good, though I've broken my "keep it simple" rule with the amount of different grains inv...

Relax, you didn't ruin anything. A lot of us just pour the whole kettle contents into the FV, hops and break material be damned. It'll all settle out as the beer ferments and will have absolutley no effect on the final prouct. ---Todd Perfect avatar/advice interface there! Thanks, that's reassuring.

whoops!

So, on my 3rd BIAB and have made a bit of an error! On transferring to the FV I just slung it through a sieve to filter out the hops rather than carefully pouring to make sure I don't pour in the break materials as well. So all the break materials have been added to the FV. I've literally just reali...
