Don't get too worried about measuring the numbers Tim and don't expect them to match perfectly. Remember they are much harder to measure on these smaller brews. Just write down what you measure - no fudging :).

Great job on your file :champ:.

Looks like an interesting recipe with the FWH'ing of the Cascade and the EKG and nothing more until the dry hopping. I have no idea what it will taste like but will look forward to hearing how it goes. I've never seen a recipe with nothing in between as it were. Wow!

:peace:

PP, firstly thanks for the response. Secondly I must apologize, the FWH in the BIABacus was an error on my part. The Cascade and EKG were added at 60mins, and then some more Cascade DH.

This one got brewed on Thursday last week and I have to say the brew day went really well as even though it was only my second time I felt a lot more comfortable with the whole process. I think I did a slightly better job on the measurements as everything seemed to make sense...

One of this things I have noticed is that the evaporation rate is somewhat lower than the default so I will manually adjust this next time.

Also my boil volume was VERY close to capacity and by the time I had the hot break it was a close call... Nearly made a bit of a mess on the stove... :headhit:

The fermentation kicked of well and I have taken a sample today (day 5) and the SG has dropped to 1.010. I will leave it for another 3 - 5 days and then rack it off.

Updated BIABacus attached.

Again thanks for all your help.
