As I said previously, the biabacus adjust efficiency based on the grain bill, because in real life a higher gravity brew will have lower efficiency than a lower gravity one. So change the left cell, because there is not a static default number for any efficiency... And in case you missed the first ...

I just tried it in version 1.3t, when you put say 5 in there the 'What you will use' section for grain actually shows lower amounts, so I believe MS was meaning to say this will raise the predicted efficiency, so to speak. The actual predicted efficiency figures don't change tho, the grain bill doe...

so the value I enter in the left cell will reduce my efficiency?? I need to raise it. So would I put negative numbers in there? that doesn't make sense lol.

Oh and I forgot to thx you Goulaingan. I'm glad you think my numbers aren't that way off. Maybe I'm just being too anal about it lol.

I had to adjust my efficiency because I was over my OG by a fair amount the last 3 batches. If I don't adjust it I am pretty much 8points high. This changes everything from pitch rate to B/G ratio. I want from 75% to 90% overnight lol. I can't have that big of a change. That being said how would I g...

Hello All, I have been using BIABacus for a while now. I have always milled my grains at a buddies house and all the defaults on the BIABacus have worked out great for me. I always hit my numbers. Now I have my own barley crushe and my eff went through the roof. Because of this I can seem to hone in...

Well done joejag, congratulations! Irish Moss at 15m This probably won't make much difference, but just for info, I have seen PistolPatch mention this working better at 5 minutes instead of 15. I don't think he ever got around to finding the data on it, but I add it at 5 minutes now anyway. I would...

Makes sense to me PistolPatch. This answers my question perfectly! I would prefer to add the syrup at the end of the boil so to limit the caramelization to the candi. But I didn't want to affect the hops by doing this. ATM I am an extract brewer so All my boils are very high OG because I dilute when...

Nice ;). The issues are I think Sean... 1. Drilling into a ceiling and 'hanging' from it. Need a concrete slab above for total freedom of movement or a timber/metal joist running in, hopefully, the right direction. 2. Ability to raise and lower the bag. Being able to raise the bag when applying hea...

Wtf? :o :shock: :argh: :angry: :angry: :angry: :shoot: :shoot: :shoot: :lol: On the IBU bit, for any Jamil recipe (or Brewing Classic Styles recipes), I recommend you only ever use the second line of Section D in the BIABacus.

Yes IBU formulas can be very daunting :think: But I really appreciate the help! I will make the changes you requested. As for the syrup I always thought you put it in around the end of the boil to not affect the hops?? Around the 10 min mark. I thought that to high of a pre-boil OG can have an adver...

Wow thanks for the help with this one yeasty! Much appreciated. I do have a question since you have the recipe on hand. Do they recommend using all the 2.6lbs of syrup in the boil? I have heard that too much syrup in the pot can lead to hot alcohol flavors. Just wondering if this is brought up in th...

I plan on getting one of these bags ( http://www.biab-brewing.com/?page_id=11 ) but I am making a hop sock and a steeping bag out of some voile I bought from Fabricland yesterday.

Has anyone bought this style of bag? I think it is very nice for the price.

Just throwing this out there, but a recipe you are copying is kinda useless to us without providing us a link to check your file against. This is likely why you did not get a response.
