      Hi Gang,
      
      Long time no see.  Hope all is well with everyone.
      
      Morebeer is having an Xmas sale with 12% off most things on their site. This includes their  Russian River's Pliny the Elder kit , which is $51 (with yeast), or $44.88 after the 12% discount. I reckon it would cost at least $62 if I bought the ingredients from my local homebrew shop. So I'm kinda into the idea of brewing this great IPA at a somewhat reduced price. Question: How hard is it to set up the recipe in the BIABacus? Below...

      Hey there Steve,
      
      For some reason I and others have totally missed this thread. (There's an email notification problem going on that, thanks to Microsoft etc will need a university degree to correct ;) )
      
      Anyway, let's have a look...
      
      I think you are correct and they are wrong. Would need more info though to confirm that. For example, if you order the kit, are they delivering the exact weights you have listed on the left hand side of Section C of the BIABacus? If yes, then, even if you set your...

      So this is where I will chronical the quest for a new eBIAB setup.
      
      First, some background. I have been brewing for over 10 years now. Started out doing extract on a stove. Then to a fry pot, burner and cooler. a then to electric keg with a cooler, then, a 3 vessel eHERMS.
      I then took the 3 vessel system and removed a pot, and set up to run as either a single vesseleRIMS/BIAB or a Brutus Countertop 20. Every one of those I built from the ground up myself. I took a lot of time, energy and pride...

      Interesting read on this thread and your WordPress. You touched on LODO. Are you running a loc line sparge ring above or below the surface of the mash? What did High Gravity supply for this? I'm interested in how you/they addressed this.
      MS
      
      The LODO comment was more about how people can become cultish about things..I was the same way for a long time about Crossfit.....
      
      You know how to tell if someone is a cross fitter...they will tell you....
      I see the same thing happening with LODO.

      JayP - I would be just guessing, but maybe pull hops out before you put in your no-chill container...? :scratch: Think you already came to that conclusion.
      
      (EDIT - below adds more to PistolPatch’s Hop conversation...)
      
      On hop testing and research, yes PistolPatch has much of it right, and it is hard to make it exactly a science regardless of how hard I try. I developed a spreadsheet to track decline of hops’ AA over time caused by age and other storage factors. Worked pretty well except I...

      Imagine you just heard that your sister/brother had just bought a good or service that you had already bought and that good/service had failed you. In hindsight, you'll be thinking, I wish I had told them of my experience, and your sibling will be saying, I wish I'd asked their advice.
      
      Once the transaction is made though, it's all a bit too late, isn't it?
      
      So, before you buy anything, use this thread to check with other family members - ask them, Am I making a good decision?

      With the BIABacus at hand, there is a wide range of kettle sizes that will work for just about anyone. There is no right or wrong answer, just personal preferences.
      
      Indoor stove-top brewers might have trouble lifting the bag above a 40+ cm tall kettle within the space available above it (hood and/or ceiling). A wider kettle with less height would have an enhanced evaporation rate. That would add to the indoor humidity more so than having a smaller kettle. Outdoor brewers will have to have help...

   10. First try at using BIABacus - can I get another set of eyes to see if I did this right?

       First try at using BIABacus - can I get another set of eyes to see if I did this right? I'm trying to decide on what to use on brew day: Brew Target, Beer Smith, Brewers Friend or something else. I also have the Bru 'N Water spreadsheet, since I use RO water and have to add minerals. I'd like something that is accurate, repeatable and gives consistent results (based on if I don't mess up what it tells me to do) - ie. water volumes, brew...

       BMWFan - I guess you can tell that I missed the SRM difference in the two different Chocolate malts because I failed to pay attention to color. :blush:
       
       The recipe has unusual elements; High mash temperature, >13% flaked grains, >11% black/chocolate grains and one dose of Willamette hops at 60 minutes, but they will work together. The link you included has discussions about astringency where it balances out. Take good notes along the way during brew day.
       
       One great thing about the BIABacus is...
