thanks Odymate. This will be my 3rd brew, so my efficiencies will probably be in the crapper. Nonetheless, I've enjoyed everything I've made so I'll probably give it a go. Have a good time in Thailand.

Hi Odymate, I am thinking about brewing a RyePA. How did yours turn out? would you recommend any changes to the BIABacus you posted?

both are good points. I guess technically I don't NEED to drink it all at once.

Put in that perspective, I did not do anything egregious. For my first batch, I boiled it hard and without a lid. As a consequence, my volume at the end of the boil was about 1/2 of what I expected. I was going to make sure that didn't happen again, so I boiled the wort less hard with a lid on. I en...

Hey guys I just wanted to fill you in on how it turned out. As I mentioned above, the mash ran into some troubles that impacted the extraction efficiency. However, I am happy to report that this was a perfectly drinkable beer. The color was just about perfect and it had a great hop aroma and taste b...

Hi all this will be my second BIAB/brewing experience and I'm pretty excited (and also fairly new to BIABacus). I've decided to make BobBrew's Hoppy IPA as translated into BIABacus by Mally (i.e. Quadby Ale: http://www.biabrewer.info/viewtopic.php?f=152&t=2501). I think since its already in the BIAB...

Thanks Bob! Do you have a BIABacus conversion of this? It sounds like a great beer.

I moved the brew into secondary fermentation this afternoon. I tasted the brew remaining in the primary after i got as much clear brew into the secondary. It tasted and smelled surprisingly high in alcohol. I'm really enjoying this and am already thinking about what I'll make next. I was thinking ab...

Thanks PP. It was a really good experience and its fermenting, so I know I will have *something* to drink in a couple of weeks. Its still not clear to me what Efficiency into Kettle means. If you have time, I would welcome an additional discussion. As I understand efficiency, it is the amount, expre...

I started my brew yesterday. It was something of a disaster. Things started well and everything was going fine until the mash spiked to 90°C. I moved it to an ice bath, but the temp. wouldn't come down. I checked the thermometer (a Thermo digital) and sometime during the mash it busted (in ice water...

Thanks PP. I really appreciate you taking time to help me out. I’ve attached my attempt to fill in the BIABacus. Here are some notes on how I filled some of it out. 1. in B, VIF was adjusted to fit the grain bill that I bought 2. in D, EOBV-A has not been provided, so I used the VIP provided by the ...

First AG, Mini-BIAB stovetop - recipe review request

So a bit of background: I love beer, brewed from extracts in college, am having a stressful time at work and thought that getting back into brewing would make for a good distraction. So with minimum research, I bought a 1 gal (4L) BIAB kit. At the brew supply store, I quickly looked up a recipe for ...

Hey everybody, I brewed from extracts in college and now, 20 years later, I wanted to get back to it. After kicking the idea around a bit, I bought a 1gal BIAB set up and I am preparing for my first batch (90min IPA). There seems to be a lot to learn, and this site seems like its full of resources. ...
