      Hi guys,
      
      I haven't been on here in a while, but not because of losing faith or giving up. Quite the contrary, I am brewing about twice a month and the BIABacus is my right hand man :salute:
      
      I have hit upon a recipe that raises a question for me. I am making a porter that in addition to the grain bill, also calls for two non-fermentables. Here is the short of the recipe:
      mash at 158F for 60 min
      8 lbs 2 row
      2 lbs munich
      1 lb chocolate malt
      1 lb crystal 40L

      then during boil

      I just had my first sample of a Best Bitter that's been in the bottle for a few weeks. I understand it still has a while to go till maturity. I am very happy with it though. Actually, the things that would hopefully improve with time have pretty much worked out. The carb level, if anything, is a bit high at 2 volumes so it is certainly well carbed already. It is also very pleasant tasting too. I can't detect any off flavors and the bittering is just right for me.
      
      The area that I would like to...

      Please hold the posts to this thread for the moment.
      
      1. BIABacus Pre-Release files can only be posted in this thread .
      
      2. There are a few errors in Section D of your file. Post your file in the above thread and someone will correct the errors. Until this is done, any answers to your question may be based on some incorrect assumptions.
      
      3. The step above may also answer your question. If not, once the file has been corrected, then you can post the Recipe Report here but not the file. The...

      Hi folks. New here and I came by because I've done 2 BIAB AG recipes and have had fun with it. Both brews I made are doing well. A Belgian Wit that tastes great, and a best bitter that is still in the primary. The only issue is that my efficiency for both was in the low 60%.
      So if anyone might offer some advice, it would be greatly appreciated.
      
      So I'll explain with the last recipe:
      
      Best Bitter
      
      Recipe Type: AG (BIAB)
      Yeast: Wyeast 1275 Thomas Valley Ale yeast
      Batch Size (Gallons): 5.5...

      ...I have put some time into your link posts and several others related to the washing machine topics and such. So I have come away with a few understandings:... Nice job Bff and apologies for the slow reply.
      
      I reckon you have read really well and that your understandings are excellent :thumbs:. On the one where you weren't sure, number 5 , you were correct in being confused on this. Good on you!
      
      I think I know exactly why you got confused on this one. 'The Commentary', would actually give...
