Well the ACT Territory/State Championships are out and happy to report I did pretty well! Gold - Munich Dunkel (and through to the Australian Nationals!) Silver - American Brown Ale Silver - Dark Ginger Ale (Spice/Herb/Veg) Silver - Vienna Larger Bronze - Oatmeal Stout Pretty Stoked for my first ACT...

Thanks PP. I do ensure the hydro sample has cooled to ambient before accepting the reading and my process it to pull the bag at the end of mashout, stir the wort and then take the sample. I do notice however the preboil sample usually has floaties in it .. perhaps proteins? but these typically settl...

Well here is my brew records for the last 9 months, it is interesting to see how the weather has affected the evaporation and the few brews I only had a single element. I actually got pretty close to the mark on some brews and my rig and processes have remained the same (except I now use 2 thermomet...

So I now have 17 batches completed and feel I have the process pretty well sorted. Over the 17 batches I have found: Batch EIK EIF 1 59.8 63.4 2 80.2 70.6 3 74.1 62.1 4 81.8 72.2 5 72.1 65.5 6 80 72.1 7 75.1 62.5 8 81.4 74.7 9 84.2 73.7 10 77.8 64.1 11 79.5 68.9 12 80.7 70.2 13 77.2 64.9 14 69.6 67....

Firstly congrats on your first BIAB!! Do you use a hop sock for your boil editions of hops? if so you probably don't need to whirlpool .. if you don't have one then it is something you can look at using, for me it makes for an easy cleanup after the brew. I would recommend (I am by no means an exper...

Well I ended up buying 100g of Cascade as well. So ended up going with: 24 IBU Summit Pellets (16.8%AA) 16.2 grams = 0.572 ounces at 60 mins 21.8 IBU Calypso Pellets (15.3%AA) 16.2 grams = 0.572 ounces at 60 mins 10.4 IBU Centennial Pellets (10%AA) 32.4 grams = 1.144 ounces at 10 mins 3.8 IBU Cascad...

BIABacus tweak

One thing which I would love to see in the next version of the BIABacus is a slight tweak to the "Recipe Report" tab. Would it be possible to have in the "Volumes and Gravities" section the Kettle fill height? I find myself the day before brew day printing out the Recipe report and having to write i...

Oatmeal Stout finished high

After some advice (as always). This was my 12th BIAB with all others being relatively successful. I decided to rebrew my Oatmeal Stout which was a great tasting brew but used a new malt on the market here locally Voyager. Everything went well on the brew day but for some reason it has finished at 1....

Sorry for my lack of information. Attached is the water report for my area. Yes PP you are indeed correct with your assumptions on the numbers. Most of the batches were 1.050 +/- .005 Looking at your excellent post I believe my only non-compliant action is #7 not corrected mash pH. Cooincidentily I ...

Consistently miss efficiencies .. time to tweak Section X?

So I have 11 FVM BIABs under my belt and produced some very good beer! :champ: All my brews have been on the same equipment so now I am looking closer at processes. I have noticed that on all my brews I have missed the mark on my efficiencies: All figures below are Estimated - Actual.. Batch 7 EIB -...
