I'm brewing my first BIAB batch of beer on saturday with a friend. I've brewed 1 gallon all grain batches of beer with brooklyn brew shop kits before (5th gallon is fermenting now).
My equipment:
http://www.amazon.com/Bayou-Classic-130 ... B008G3PAXK
Purchased just the bottling bucket and fermenter bucket from http://www.etsy.com/listing/124578054/u ... ome_active
Got a 26" x 26" LD Carlson nylon brew bag from my LHBS. Fits just right in my kettle!
I hope I used the BIABacus right. The numbers seem to make sense. I used the Amarillo APA recipe as a guide, but decided to substitute Cascade hops instead, and I also plugged in my kettle dimensions to get my water calculations.
How does this report look to you? Also, are there any tips for my first brew day? Going to be brewing on the stove top.
I noticed the longest hop addition is 60 minutes, but the boil is 90 minutes. So no hops for the first 30 minutes? Is this normal?
