      Before helping others to convert a recipe they post here, please make sure you have fully read and understood this post and the others it refers to.
      
      Every beer recipe needs to be adjusted to suit both your own brewing method as well as your equipment. For example, it will be obvious to all but the newest brewers that an extract recipe needs to be converted to a grain recipe. What is not so obvious to those entering the world of all-grain is that recipes need to be adjusted for your equipment...

      Water treatment links that make sense to me are on the same forum where maze42 found his recipe.
      
      Everybody's water is different and as long as chlorine and chloramine and excessive mineral salts are not going to screw things up, it can make beer. I am lucky that I have three different water sources that are good but I brew different ales all the time and cannot make water comparisons because I don't brew the same beer from each individual water source. Maybe in a few more years of...

   3. Transferring near-boiling wort into cube

      Hi,
      
      I'm looking at shortening my brew-day and have been following some of the threads on the no-chill method. Not only should this save me some time but I've always been uncomfortable using so much water for cooling wort (house is on rain water tanks). I use a large 50L pot for boiling that doesn't have a spigot/valve. Is there a safe method in transferring near-boiling wort from the pot into a cube? Possibly a SS racking cane with silicon tubing?
      
      looking forward to hearing what other people...

      Thanks for writing that. So nice to hear this from someone with access to real instruments as there is a diabolical amount of misinformation out there. I'll add two links...

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

      I hope this is the correct place to put this question....
      
      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...

      I gotta open my eyes and read the entire spreadsheet.

      Thanks a heap Scott . (I owe you and some others*)
      
      In the meantime, I have to deal with the likes of tizoc :lol:
      
      What tizoc describes is a definite error
      
      I've written a PM to tizoc re this and some other stuff such as some of the complexities involved in coding the BIABacus. In that PM, I've explained how to unlock the BIABacus and examine the formulas. The error is not one that is practically significant but, personally, I found it very interesting. In my PM I attempted to share some of...

      Warning: this is going to be a long post, with pictures - hopefully it will encourage beginners like myself, and entertain the old hands.
      
      I was always interested in making my own beer, but the start appeared to be expensive and complicated, so I never really tried. Recently, I have stumbled upon the BIAB method, found this forum, and learned here about the mini-BIAB approach . This was it! I had nearly everything at hand, even a 19.5 L stainless steel pot which my wife is using for cooking...
