      Did my first Biab yesterday a simple draught Bass recipe. It seemed to go really well I had no problems, unlike the cricket, so I am assuming that the finished beer is going to taste crap to punish me :nup:
      
      Used the BIABacus and it was really helpful and pretty accurate I was aiming for 23L and OG of 1.044 and got 1.042 and 25L so I can live with that. And the inaccuracies their are just as likely that a put more water in than I thought than any other reason.
      
      I took one extra measurement...

      TBH I was amazed how close I got to the numbers. I knew it was a first try and I my aims were limited to making sure that the system worked and I get a drinkable beer.
      
      I will fine tune as I go along but as far as I am concerned life's too short to aim for accuracy to the nth decimal point. As far as am concerned close enough is good enough. But Biabacus seems a great tool both to give a starting point and in future to improve consistency.
      
      The Beer itself is fermenting well I couldn't resist...
