You can always try using your spent grains in some homemade bread

Thanks for the correction. Looks like I tried to convert the boil volume

The cream ale turned out pretty good. It is currently conditioning but I had a little sample when I was bottling. Lower ABV than expected due to some brewing issues that I hope to correct next batch. So now I'm ready for my next batch. I'm going to try a clone of Flying Monkeys Smashbomb Atomic IPA ...

Thanks. I did adjust to 1.045 to get the brew a bit stronger I tried my best with the measured numbers. I've always done 5 gallon batches and knew my big kettle pretty well to know how much was in it. This was a new pot I was using so I was trying with the ruler method. I still don't quite understan...

First BIAB is done! It's a bit different than using the mash tun/batch sparge method I'm used to, which is probably why I only had a couple minor hiccups. First problem - Mashed in at 157F and the temp only dropped to 155F. It took me 20 minutes to get it down to 150. Second problem - I didn't have ...

Looks like an older post but I didn't seen an answer. For priming sugar I use http://www.brewersfriend.com/beer-priming-calculator/ or Northern Brewer has one on their site.

When I've brewed Choco Stouts in the past I've used 2.0 or 2.1 for Volumes of CO2

Hey PP, thanks for all the info! BIABacus is a lot easier to use than Beersmith once you get the hang of everything. I've tried converting a few other recipes and I'm pretty confident in how the thing works.

I'll let you know how the brewing goes once I get this one finished

I'll be sure to post the results. Right now I just need to find some free time. The goal is to have it brewed in the next week or two

Thanks PistolPatch! I think I've already found an error but there is probably more. I should have put the mash time to 90 mins

So far in my very little experience (no batches yet) I've read that people have set their oven low and as long as the pot fit, mashed in it

BIABacus PR1.3I - Cream Ale.xls Hi Everyone, This is my first try at using the BIABacus. I just tried converting a recipe from Northern Brewer to try it out. Let me know if I missed anything in the process. I'm used to using Beersmith but it was suggested I try this for BIAB. BIABacus Pre-Release 1...

Thank smyrnaquince
Interesting spreadsheet. I'll have to input a recipe and see how it converts.

Hello, My name is Trevor and I am from Paris, Ontario, Canada. I came across this site looking up info on how to set up Beersmith for small BIAB batches. In the past I've brewed 5 and 10 gallon AG using a cooler mash tun. It's been about 3 years since I brewed last......right around the time I had m...
