   Wish me luck - my 2nd wheatbeer, taken from onclick= window.open(this.href);return false; and basically dumped into BIABacus. I've added a few different bits and bobs of advice I've picked up elsewhere into the recipe but it's basically the same bar the pitching and the yeast.

   Just wanted to drop by and thank for this recipe!
   I tried this recipe (with some small adjustments to the available ingredients and my small pot) and it turned out great!
   Already did it a second time, with the added bonus of washing the yeast from the first batch.
   
   cheers

   Hello guys, 
   This weekend I'm trying to brew an adaptation of windriver's IPA Three of a kind . 
   In my case, I only have two suitable hops, so mine is Two of a kind . I adjunct the Biabacus excel file. 
   I would like to know if my substitutions are correct, specially the grain. Water volumes and so I manage well with my equipment. 
   In fact this will be the 5th beer I do and everything has gone properly before. 
   Thank you very much for any help or comment. 
   Hugs

   Hi Scott, and thank you for your fast answer.  
   
   I would recommend to a) DON'T skip a 2nd dry Hop session. If need be can be same Hop as the other
   
   I am not planning skipping any DH, perhaps I have misunderstood something. I thougt the original recipe indicates you have to do an unique DH with both Amarillo and Simcoe hops mixed together. I thought of doing my DH with cascade at a rate of 4 gr/liter. I am still pretty new in the art of homebrewing. 
   It seems the original recipe says...

   Hello everyone,
   
   Still making my first steps in Brewing, but already have 6 brews under the belt. So far I haven't followed any recipe to the letter, I check a few recipes online for inspiration and adjust to my ingredients and equipment with BIABacus. I didn't have to flush any beer down the drain, so either it's working or I'm just stubborn  :angry:

   Goulaigan,
   I didn't cook any complicated food yet, just steaks, chicken breast and such... but that does sound like something I'll try soon!
    Anyway, I've done some googling and checked some youtube videos before trying the Anova for beer brewing. I have just used it for the mash, didn't try to use it for the boil part.
   I tried to keep the brew bag away from it, by putting a small strainer in the propeller area, so that the bag doesn't get stuck. It seemed to go fine. I really liked using it...

4. Pale Ale Recipe -

   Thought I would share this recipe - bottled today and it tasted very good. :thumbs:
   I was going for a solid malt / biscuit and bread smell and taste so went low on the hops and added in 8% Victory Malt.
   The fermentation chamber smelled like I was baking bread all week.  
   The US-05 dry yeast kicked up a storm - one of the few times I did not use a blow-off tub  :nup:

   Upon further contemplation (sampling) today - I think an increase in hops would improve the beer overall. Not a lot - the idea was to focus on the biscuit flavor, but a bit more on the bittering would improve.  I might even suggest throwing a little more wheat malt in for more head retention and body.

   This will be up to your individual tastebuds.  But I've kept the aroma hop as East Kent Goldings but changed the flavour to Styrian Goldings and while I love the original recipe, I personally prefer this modification.  It's a tad (an amateur homebrewers term for a bit ) fruitier, but I'm having a struggle to place it.  Maybe loquats?

   Hi Juan,
   Based on your file:
   For the original recipe (Brewing Classic Styles book) the VAW you should use is21.82L, but in your BIABacus you are setting the desired IBU so you are ok here.
   Little heavy on the two-row I would bring it down to ~65% and up the wheat based on the original recipe.
   Hop substitutes look fine.
   I would suggest reducing the VIF to minimize the water adjustments.  For example - VIF to 3.7L and just add 1L of water to fermentor, which would also help cool the...

   With regard to malt - I do not think you need the Crystal Malt - good wheat beer can be made with just wheat or wheat and pilsner malt splits.  Not saying you can't use the crystal - beauty of...

    I have a friend who did some homemade beer a years ago. It was nice, however it was a kit beer.

    That ring of foam is from active fermentation. When the yeast are in their growth phase is when most of the sugars are consumed and the moat activity can be seen. The phase you are in now is the yeast slowly cleaning up after themselves. Because of the low temperature they are working really slow if they haven't gone to sleep. If you can get the temperature up over 18 to 20 it will help.
    Don't rush things. You are really going to need 2 weeks for things to finish up.

    The point of a kit is convenience.  Let's take a look at how to brew this according to NB.  They assume a 75% efficiency and  20 L of VAW.  Attached is how this kit is entered into BIABacus.
    
    Adjusting the boil time and evaporation rate here doesn't effect the grain bill weight, just allows/adjusts the water amount.
    
    A 1.090 OG happens to be about the same efficiency with BIABacus. :)
    
    Notice the Y entered for using a hop sock, that does effect the grain weight.

    Has anybody got a recipe or know of one that is a British ale with some wheat in it.
    
    Or should I just make my own recipe, say from a Timothy Taylor Landlord and add a certain percentage of wheat.
    
    Where I got this idea from was when I was in the Lake district in Cumbria England, the bloke behind the bar said that his Bluebird Bitter had some wheat in it. It was the second best pint I'd had in my whole life.

    So after a couple of missed targets and frustrations with beersmith i am going to convert to biabacus for my next brew.
    Quick question, does biabacus know what particular grain i am using in regards to the different fermentables in each grain? So from what i have learnt crystal wont have as much fermentables as pale 2 row?
    Is this so important or irrelevant in terms of the grain...

    Good on you Simon and welcome to the forum :salute:,
    
    I'm short on time and brain power tonight :) but on seeing the topic title, my currently dim brain remembered working on this recipe before. I just did a search on digital ipa (include the inverted commas) and there is some stuff there. Normally I'd post the links etc but no time today sorry. Have a read of them though and see if they help until I or someone else can get back to you.
    
    A few other reasons why I thought I better do a quick...

    Hey all, I just started brewing an would like your input on this recipe. I tried BIAB twice before using 1 gallon recipe kits and failed the first time because my water volume was way off and the second one the OG was very low so I suspect either my mash was not efficient or my water was off... The first recipe kit I did was a cream ale, the ingredients went like this:
    0.75 lbs pale malt
    0.75 lbs pilsner
    0.2 lbs rice flakes
    0.21 oz hallertauer 60 min
    0.12 oz hallertauer 1 min

    Wow thanks for the reply!
    
    I will definitely give it a try using the modifications you did to the recipe. Section K is kind of confusing to me (like what is SWN?) but as you said I will mash using 13.79L. One thing I learned from last batches is that I need something to keep track of my volume, I will probably make some identifiers on my stirring spoon at half gallon increments.
    
    As you recommended I ordered the book Brewing Classic Styles. I already read How to Brew by John J. Palmer and...

    The recipe looks pretty good but I would probably up the Munich and victory by 5% each and drop the crystal by 10%. Otherwise that is a lot of Crystal.
    
    If you want more body it is better to get it from your mash temperature rather than the crystal. Looks
    Like a good choice of yeast, it's really
    Important for a mild to have some nice yeast esters.
    
    It's a great style and doesn't need to be over complicated to be a delicious session beer. Start with a simple recipe and then have a play around...

    This was my first BIAB attempt last month. I got something wrong and my pre-boil volume was down a bit resulting in a higher gravity and ultimately a bigger beer at 7% ABV but it tasted great.
    Apart from working out my settings to get my volumes right I will also up the late and DH additions, the beer could easily carry some more hops up front.
