      I took inspiration from a brew discussed on HBT for my first BIAB. Did it two weeks ago, and the process was distressingly easy :thumbs:
      
      Except for a few things. :scratch:
      
      Recipe report is below. It's what I used to generate my shopping list. The actual grains used were off slightly. No more than 1/4 lb. (115g) difference. Used a different yeast, etc.
      
      I got a bit lazy towards the end (or trusted apprentice brewer too much) and don't have good numbers for GAW or VAP. This is also because......

      I brewed my first BIAB the other week, a chocolate stout. I had no problems getting info into a biabacus sheet to help me along on brew day. Here is where I'm stuck: what's the best way to go from an archived recipe to a opt of the sheet that reflects the actual brew session? And where should I post it? I had way more boil off amongst other things and want to get biabacus tuned to my setup.

      That is very close to the question I have in mind PP.

   3. Kettle question

      I've been looking for a kettle for a while and just stumbled upon this Jarhill pot. My biggest concern is thickness. Should I care that it's only 0.95 mm? I plan on doing batches that are 5.5 US gal into fermenter with the occasional big beer. There are slightly smaller ones that I may go with instead (50l).
      
      And I'm not married to this vendor: shipping is outrageous. I know I can get an Al pot shipped for a bit less.
      
      So, bottom line: thickness concerns and minimum suggested thickness of Al...

   4. Propane efficiency

      Here is a barrel (haha) of worms: what sort of efficiencies are people getting? How many mash+boil sessions in a 20 lb (I'm in the US) bottle of gas.
      
      Please note volume and make of brew/mash vessel, burner type, volumes mashed/boiled, and ambient temps. Might also mention special situations, such as durations if not 90 minutes, presence of wind, and any modifications to your burner.
      
      Or just tell me to take a leap and search (again) in the forums :)

      The exchange ones here in Aus I've found are notoriously under filled when you get them.
      My brother used to get the swap and go's from the local servo. We compared one we had filled ourselves, and it felt half empty.
      
      I generally get about 4-5 brews to a 9kg bottle. Running a standard low pressure regulator. Takes a while to ramp up but goes alright once its got heat into the keg.
