Re: IPA Brewers - What are your opinions with hop additions for IPAs?

I too love the NEIPA style and have a "go to" recipe that I've slowly perfected. My only boil addition hops is at the beginning of the boil to get the bulk of my target 60 IBUs. I use US Magnum for that. My flavor and aroma hops are all Mosaic. I don't do any late boil or flameout hops anymore. I do...

Sort of dh but you missed one important thing. I wrote above about 65% EIK. I don't have time to re-read the whole thread but you should only be getting 65%EIK if you are doing a very high gravity beer or lots of dilutions. BIABacus calculates/guesses all this quite unpredictable stuff a lot better...

So, to attempt to recap what I've gleaned from this thread and how to leverage BIABacus to dial in my process I should record my volumes pre/post boil, gravities pre/post boil, VIF, GIF. Any gravity adjustments should be into fermentor and only to lower gravity (dilute) recording that addition in se...

Yep, you'll read a lot of advice elsewhere that is based on the myth that every brew day will behave the same. (The truth is that even the largest breweries are constantly adjusting each batch because nothing is the same from brew to brew.) I think my last answer covers all the reasons for why you ...

Henry, I haven't read all the above but I noticed what I quoted below the other day and it's been a while here since we emphasised how little respect should be given to pre-boil volume numbers despite what you might hear and read elsewhere. Here you go... While brewing my 3rd batch of a Guinness cl...

Your 21.62 L is the mash volume after squeezing at boil, at mash temp it was 2% less volume. I don't know what the 4.9 gallons is. On your next brew, copy this file, remove all numbers in Section L-R, and set your efficiency to 76%. Ok, thanks! :thumbs: As I think through what the actuals represent...

So, do I account for the 0.8G dilution water in my measured VIB as I've done in the two files attached previously? I'm thinking this will throw off actual EIK... Was your VIB 21.62L? Then that and the 1.042 is your efficiency into boil. After adding the dilution water it was 21.62L. Coming out of t...

I overshot my post-mash gravity by 10 points and undershot my volume into the kettle by about 0.2G. I added 0.8 Gallons of dilution water before the boil to bring my gravity into the kettle in line per BIABacus which brought my pre-boil volume up to 5.71G (0.64G above target pre-boil volume). If yo...

When I open the blank PR1.3T in Excel for Mac I get a warning something to the affect "spaces on cell labels have been changed to "_" .

Here's my recipe in an older version of BIABacus and what drove my brew day yesterday and then laid into BIABacus PR1.3T. As mentioned in original post I had to dilute the wort pre-boil to get SG down and want to account for that addition correctly in BIABacus. I did a full volume mash, so, didn't h...

Proper way to record dilution water and volumes in BIABacus?

While brewing my 3rd batch of a Guinness clone recipe yesterday using a new base malt (Irish Stout Malt from Ireland malting Company) I overshot my post-mash gravity by 10 points and undershot my volume into the kettle by about 0.2G. I added 0.8 Gallons of dilution water before the boil to bring my ...

Previously I was into typcial HB 5 gallon batches doing extract and partial mash brews with primary/seconday glass carboys, dry hopping, mini-kegs, etc. ...
