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

Thanks Pat. I did not put the B for Boil Only. That explains the problem. Didn’t know that we need to. What does S for Steeping do to the calculation? I used to steep but normally now just make the grain part of the mash. Easier and seems to work fine. But some of these grains have no diastatic powe...

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

Hi Pat, This is great stuff... It is awesome to read a post with so much thought put into it!!! :thumbs: I had questions as well on when using sugar (I’ve done this one time in my 55 BIAB batches), what changes if any does one make with the BIABacus file? I see you left his file adjustment with a ch...

Hello gdp66 , and welcome to the forum! I always would recommend going a little larger than you plan to brew. Can always scale it back but cannot scale it larger without new equipment.

Hello Steve Kaplan ! Thank you for your post and welcome to the forum! If you like beer and like to drink beer, I would recommend skipping the mini-batches and go with at least 5-gallon batches. If you like beer - 5 gallons goes pretty quick. Do you have some styles that you know that you like? Usua...

Re: My First Post! - Post here to become Fully Registered

If you love the beer, can find out what sort of flavor hops are used and purchase some... Always can change hops. There are many good ones. The BIABacus file that ShorePoints recommended to you is really a phenomenal tool to help you with brewing and figuring out exactly how much to use, etc. If que...

Re: Use this thread to convert recipes to suit your equipment...

Well lager fermentation can be up to 21 days. Seems like mine is done normally 14 days or so. Could be a couple days longer sometimes... Just make certain fermentation is 100% complete before beginning cold crash. A few days extra never hurts anything...but if fermentation is not complete it causes ...
