Maxi biab calculator - what to use?

Just a quick question for somebody - I've probably missed the obvious answer somewhere. I've done half a dozen mini-BIAB in my 21L pot. I'd like to try a full length brew - from what I've read this should be do-able using maxi-BIAB techniques. Question is - does the BIABacus allow for maxi-BIAB calc...

Yeasty - thanks for the help. Looking good to make this tonight, or maybe at the weekend. Last BIAB I managed to get to bed before midnight, starting once the kids were in bed, so that means I can do more mid-week brewing!

Yeasty, thanks for the reply - I'd seen your name in various threads about GW recipes. It's a good looking book, and I'm happy to get some practice in making several beers from it, so need to get my BIABacus technique sorted out. I've made some changes to my version of the file based on your suggest...

Hi I was bought Wheelers Brew Your Own British Real Ale for Christmas, I'm trying to scale the Everards Beacon recipe. I'm a bit confused about volumes - he quotes 'Total liquor' and 'Mash liquor' - can anyone tell me how to use these volumes in the BIABacus. I've attached my current version of the ...

Thanks for the reply - I'd understood the longer boil was good for pilsner/lagers. I'm doing something darker than that so might shorten the boil. We'll see how I'm doing for time on the day!

Hi I've tweaked the BIABacus a little, to try and match the length of brew from the recipe I'm using (although details are sparse). So I hope it's nearly there. As far as the questions around trub management - I was considering either just putting the hops in loose and passing the wort through a sie...

Mally thanks for your help on this - I know the recipe can't be vouched for, but I'm happy to take a chance. I've downloaded your BIABacus calc - fortunately I like spreadsheets! I've changed the AA% values for the hops I'll be using, and also changed the VAW to around 5 gallons (it was quoted as a ...

First brew - advice on a recipe

Hi there so I've just taken delivery of a 21 litre pot, for doing BIAB on my kitchen hob. Looking around for a recipe to start with. I come from Scotland, but now live in England, so fancy doing something Scottish. Found a recipe for Raven Ale on another forum (I remember drinking lots of this at a ...

Hi there just introducing myself. My name is Keith - and I live in Newcastle upon Tyne. Having done half a dozen beer kits (which have gone OK) I was drinking a Chocolate Milk Stout the other day, which somebody gave me as a gift. And I was inspired to do something more challenging with my home brew...
