      Hi guys,
      
      I brewed my first batch using the BIABacus & the Amarillo APA recipe. It went really well and is bubbling away in the cupboard as I speak. Thanks for all the hard work you guys put into those!
      
      However, I've just noticed that I accidentally used double the amount of hops suggested by the BIABacus.
      
      Since I haven't done this before, can you tell me what sort of an effect this will have on the end beer? The suggested Tinseth bitterness is 36.2, so I guess I'm looking at double that -...

      Well I think both of the fresh hop APAs are going to be a success. Was busy picking the hops off the bines (took an hour or so...between 9 and 10pm) and did that while mashing. Left it at 151 deg F and was 143 def F when I came back to it. Ooops. Was supposed to be mashed at 152 deg. And OG wound up being low. 1.047. Was shooting for 1.054. Not sure why so low...
      
      Big batch, max I could do in my 15 gallon pot without holding back water, when finished split into two 4.5 gallon batches into...

   2. BIABacus adjusting for mash temp

      Hi guys,
      
      Playing around with a new recipe on the BIABacus I notice that the ABV and FG values don't update when I change the mash temperature.
      
      I've been researching brewing mash temperatures and it's my understanding that by mashing at 70C (158F) I'll be left with a fuller beer with more unfermentables and a higher FG than if I'd mashed at 64C (147F).
      
      So does the BIABacus make allowances for that? And if not, are there any rule-of-thumbs I can apply to work out the effect of mash...
