I haven't ordered anything but Christmas is coming up. Is there a way for a non member to order off Amazon and for the site to get credit? After a while the tendency is to overlook something like this if it remains static. You might try adding new items that you would recommend - shake things up a b...

Good stuff Streamer ;) Btw, for anyone reading the appropriate info post which even took me a while to find is here ). Can't wait until the site is upgraded or starts afresh :champ:. Streamer, the link above shows that you are in a rare situation as your kettle is not straight-sided. There are two ...

OK, quick follow on. I plugged in my results to BIABacus and changed the "keg shape volume adjustment" in X to 0, and the spreadsheet calculated a total potential volume of the keg at 15.23Gal. Measured actual is 15.25. I'm pumped

Just did a fill and measure on the keg. I decided to do this in US Standard measurements because we've been unable to adapt to a more logical system, or we're number 1, I forget which. Anyway, I started with a tape measure and a calibrated container and started with adding in quart increments until ...

Ah! Well that makes more sense. Thanks again for the help. I'm pretty sure the base and top are under 14.5". Going to measure and fill now. I'll report my results in case anyone else has a keg like this.

Joshua, I'm looking at your formula and I can't make sense of it. If I assume that the volume of the keg is 15.5 gallons and the height is 21" (measured interior height)then there is no remainder since the division ends up with a fraction. If I convert to metric then I have 58.674 liters/53.34cm, so...

Streamer. Once you Know the Exact Volume of the Keg, Divide the Volume, by the measured Height. Then divide the remainder by 3.14159, then Take the Square Root, and then Multiply by 2. This will leave the AVERAGE diameter of the Keg. Your Headspace Numbers will be Off from the Volume, but as Shorep...

Thank you ShorePoints. I'll take those measurements this afternoon and keep puzzling through this. I understand (I think) that Headspace would be the distance from the top of the water to the opening at the top of the keg, and that that number varies with the amount of liquid in the keg, and that th...

Need to confirm kettle volume in BIABacus

Hello folks, I've got a 15.5 gallon keg as a brew vessel. I've attached a photo of it. In a previous post, Mad Scientist suggested inputting the keg diameter as 39.2 cm, the height as 42.4 cm, and in the area for adjustments (x) 4.3 liters for the shape of the keg - is this the brew vessel shape you...

Well this should be fun! I'm just starting to study this process. An acquaintance walked me through his All Grain process he's been using since the 1970's, and gave me a brew kettle in the process. What a deal.I'll pick up a few more pieces around Xmas and intend to do my first BIAB right around the...
