Heey all, I Noticed a bug in Biabacus 1.3 in section N/O. When I put numbers in Section N, the IBU and Color in Section O don't give any values anymore. And sometimes Section E gets buggy, states #VALUE, and then the temperature calculations go haywire. And I copied a question, I think wasn't answe...

“How do I know if I have been given the useful or the useless answer?” I think that’s where a lot of the frustration comes from with the beer recipes. One piece of information not there and you may as well start from scratch and make your own recipe. Starting from scratch and making your own recipe...

Oh wow! That thing is AWESOME! Nice job on building that! It is a long dream of mine to have a wood fired oven for pizza's! (I need to perfect my pizza!) My 2 cents: try and shape your dough by hand after its has done a 2nd ferment. So its soft and full of bubbles. And then slowly shape it, thickish...

Heey Everybody, I know I have been away for a while life has been a bit overwhelming lately, but not all bad. First off I'll start by reposting a question for PP, that I should have done months ago. Another question, how does making a brewing at higher efficiency affect the flavor profile given by t...

The 'True' Liquor to Grain Ratio Factor This is what the current BIABAcus auto-efficiency formula is based on. Basically, the more water that touches the grain at some point pre-boil, the better your 'Efficiency into Kettle (EIK)'. In other words, of the 'Total Water Needed (TWN)' of a brew, the le...

Well, honestly it is the brewing that is the fun part ^^ Not necessarily the reading or the writing ;) However, the reading and writing is what makes us better brewers, and gives you guys information to perfect the biabacus, which is very valuable indeed :D As for the numbers, they are quite honest ...

Heey All, We did our 2nd brew today. It was quite a succesful brewday. We hit our O.G. and apart from stupid mishaps, we would have hit our estimated VIF number for our desired packaging amount. This time around we had a Marga Mill available for milling the malt, and Simcoe, Centennial and Cascade f...

I completely agree with what you wrote Todd, it is the only way to scientifically know whats going on. There are however a few things clashing inside of me. First of all. knowledge and rational vs impatience and easily bored. I need to do things the way you described them (rational and knowledge), y...

2nd Brew and Orange IPA speculation.

So I have bottled my first ever brew last thursday. All in all not bad, bottled 8,5 liters of beer. I tasted some of it, before bottling and wasn't too happy with the acidic note that munich introduces to the brew (NRB's pale ale recipe with cascade hops). In regards of that I have been playing arou...

Let me answer your Big Worry first. I was realizing throughout my first boil and while reworking the numbers in the aftermath what the potential is of the Biabacus to a brewer. However, due to my limited brewing experience and lack of preparation (shame on me, but that's how we learn), I wasn't able...

Ok, since I started with my recipe conversion I might aswell write the story here! We just finished brewing, its been cooled, transferred to the fermentor and pitched, and we are baking cookies with some of the kettle trub and the malt. So far so good for a first brew. However, we had some problems ...

Heey PP, The BIABacus is an amazing thing! I know I will have question in the future about either this or some basic brewing methods. But for the moment it seems to make alot of sense! The only thing I can't find the "trub management" (not that I would no what to do with it at this point). I'll let ...

Thermometers aren't a problem, all my cooking projects demand for that (chocolate tempering without a thermometer is a true skill ,i can tell you that). I know my oven, lets put it like that, there would be the one problem with perhaps with that the top and bottom would get warmer than the middle. B...

Thanks alot PistolPatch, I'll have a rummage around the file and report on it later. So far it looks something like what i doodled out of the normal calculator, it is a good sign :) The pot comes with a lid that I can put on and otherwise i can use the other stainless steelpan or bowl that Ive got t...

That's just really awkward, coz imho the percentages are just so convient too quickly read a recipe, and to quickly scale it up and down. It doesnt matter whether you are a 1 liter brewer or 1000 liter brewer the recipe stays the same

Damn shame!

It might not be my place to comment on an improvement, being a completely new member and all. And it might have already been mentioned. Introducing a brewers percentage to the recipes, like you have a bakers percentage . It would make the recipes easily readable no matter where you are from and no m...

Recovering yeast from a beer bottle is easy :) Aslong as the bottle isn't too old, the yeast will most prolly just be dormant. Collect the sediment of your favorite bottle in a sanitize container, and some water and sugar, mix it through stick a lid on and leave at a warmish place. Because you are u...

My tapwater is horrible (in comparison to the Dutch water that im used to), it first of all is loaded with chlorine, and then its as hard as a rock (after 6 months or less I have run a bottle of vinegar through my waterkettle coz the calcium is literally floating on the water). And the flavor even a...

Dear all, I'm a new brewer, with loads of regular cooking and baking experience, that has looked into the world of All grain BIAB brewing.
