PP thanks for the response. I always do a 90 Minute mash with a 10 minute mash out at 170° this time I saved back 2 gallons and poured over the bag then squeezed it pretty hard when done. I've read the arguments about sparging and squeezing the bag, as far as squeezing the bag it makes me feel bette...

All I can say is the increase in efficiency was incredible. At flame out I had right at 5.5 gallons of wort and the OG was 1.064. Expected OG was supposed to be 1.059 using 5 gallons. BIAB is pretty awesome and every time I brew it gets better. I can only assume sparging was the reason for the great...

Thanks for all the help......looking forward to brewing a milk chocolate stout in a week or two. I'm hoping by sparging I can increase my efficiency to the point where I don't require a bump in my grain bill. So for this batch I'm going to purchase a pre-measured recipe instead of making up my own r...

"volume into kettle"? What BIABacus version are you using? I am using Ver 1.3 I just downloaded the new version and noticed that using the exact same recipe the new Version actually shows about .30 gallon more strike water than the same recipe using the old ver? I do like the new ver better but am ...

1. Any idea on what your Volume of Ambient Wort was? That's the key volume number we need in any recipe. Should have been exactly 5 gallons trub and all 2. Any idea on the Alpha Acid percentage of the hops you used? (These can vary greatly from year to year. Knowing this number goes a long way to he...

That Blonde Ale was awesome. Floral notes, crisp and clean no aftertaste. I like it so much I'm brewing a 10 gallon batch next time. I had an issue with my spiggot drain doo-hickey falling off and I got a huge amount of trub in the fermentor so only ended up with 4 gallons in the keg, which I draine...

OK so I tapped that keg on Friday 3/28 after 7 days in the keg and it still was not ready. I added a cup of gelatin (was very cloudy) and as of last night it was awesome. Clear, no haze and very tasty. It's definitely a do-over in a 10 gallon batch. Who was it here that says we need more patience? I...

Thanks. I did the conversions and put my Irish Red recipe in there that I brewed 2 weeks ago and no worries it was pretty easy. I'll be kegging it this weekend and tapping in about another 2 weeks. I'm really hoping it will be good. I didn't realize 90 minute boils were the norm for BIAB, so really ...

Pistol, Thanks for the advice. Interesting read about the double-crushing. Looking at the spreadsheet and I agree it's a bit intimidating but also someone worked pretty hard to develop that..... that's definitely a bit more than Excel 101. Do you know if it can be set to default for US measurements?

I upgraded to a 16 gallon Bayou Classic pot a while back that came with a Bazooka screen. I found for BIAB or partial mash it was worthless. Better off installing an elbow with a piece of pipe that touches the bottom and very outside of the pot. Then simply whirlpool when the wort is cooled and let ...
