      Thanks for your reply
      Maybe Arnhem is a bridge too far The whole city was destroyed in WWII ( Market Garden ) and rebuilding was quick and hastily done so not much to be seen nowadays .
      ( better go to Den Bosch which is a medieval city and is beautiful to walk around ) . The good thing is that there is a large increase in small brewery,s in the country now . ( people got bored only drinking Heineken ) . Belgium always had a good beer culture with lot of smaller brewery,s but now the trend of...

   3. My second BIABacus plan

      by Another Brian, 3 weeks ago in BIABrewer.info and BIAB for New Members

      Hello. I have entered information int a BIABacus spreadsheet for another brew, a Stout this time. If anyone would like to look it over and give me feedback I would appreciate it. I still am confused why using a hopsock would reduce the grain bill, but will follow the numbers on the spreadsheet at any rate. Also, there is my primary mashing malt and then my steeping grains. This is my first time using steeping grains. I have only mashed malt before. Do I include all together, the only difference...

      Thank you for the response, Shore Points. I will check gravity in the morning. Long day at work just ended. if it is where I want it I may bottle tomorrow. I took a reading a few days ago, and it was around 1.017, which is right on. I tasted the runoff from the thief. Dryer than expected. Maybe because of so much yeast/attenuation?
      
      This beer moved so quickly, but there were THREE yeast packs.
      
      I checked both thermometers today in boiling water, and the nice glass one was 6 to 8 degrees higher...

   4. German Rauchbier Recipe

      Has anyone else ever had German Rauchbier and discovered they love it? Schlenkerla has an awesome Maerzen Rauchbier, and we can get it in bottles here in the USA. It's very good stuff...!
      
      My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in late June of this year, and celebrated by going to Europe for two weeks. Spent 3 days in Bamberg (home of most German Rauchbiers)… Went to Schlenkerla's brewpub twice. Love their beer!!!
      
      I put together a recipe over a year ago to brew it myself and it...

      I LOVE Rachbier! I have a homebrew club, now brewpub owner, friend who makes one that introduced me to the style. Amazing and delicious. I will give your recipe a whirl some time!
      
      Thanks

   5. Full batch all grain formula to BIAB.

      Hello. This is my second post, so please bear with me. I've done 5 BIAB batches, but not for a couple of years so I'm relearning. Plus I am trying to delve into everything more deeply to get a fuller understanding rather than just following steps.
      
      I have a formula from Brewing Classic Styles that I made a couple of years ago and want to repeat. My notes from that batch are not good... My main questions are:
      
      1) Is there an increase in grain bill when moving from sparge formulas to BIAB...

      Congratulations Another Brian! :thumbs: It worked despite surprises in the process.
      
      No file attached, so far.
      
      Following the BIABacus recommendations mostly, yielded an ESB that seems close to the model. Perhaps a little more bitter/dry but very clean tasting. No esters noticed.
      Trust the BIABacus. It is amazing how well it works for me. I hope you have added your tasting notes to the batch record. It will help in the future. I try to add tasting impressions along the timeline for...

   6. Preparing for first attempt at Biab

      Hi guys,
      I am preparing for my first attempt at Biab. Currently assembling my kit. The kettle is a 30l 2.5kw electric tea urn. I have modded it so that it will maintain a rolling boil without cutting out. I made a truncated cone bag to fit it. I want to attempt a maxi Biab to attain 23 litres into the fermenter so will heat my sparge water on the stove top. I will be making a DIY counter flow chiller once the plumbing bits arrive.
      I want to scale the Amarillo AIPA recipe from this site for my...

      Thanks for that feedback ShorePoints. You are right, I am over complicating things in order to increase yield from one brew day. After this batch I think I will take your advice and keep it simple.
