:thumbs: Been putting this off for to long now . brewing the Black Widow Porter from Brewing Classic Styles . Might be alittle much for my first biab but I tend to brew what I have a taste for . Im using the Calculator and comparing to what I came up with in Beersmith2 for a 2 gallon brew length . Its not hard to screw up in Beersmith2 and I got everything fairly close but I trust you BIAB experts much more so we shall see how I did with the numbers . Thanks for everyones hard work here to try and help all us new guys . Im quite sure I would never have tryed BIAB if it wasnt for this site . Hopefully I dont make too many brew day mistakes. ***** LETS BREW ***** :thumbs:

Hi tirgear.

I know its last minute but have you seen the Biabacus Here

I really don't want to confuse things as you are brewing tomorrow so if you are happy with the calculator stick with that.

:luck:

tlrgear,

I am excited for you! good luck! :luck:

Remember! You will screw up something or you are not a real brewer!!! BIAB is simple but if you are anything like me providence will drop a asteroid on you garage or something like that!! Just push the debris aside and "Brew on Brother"!!!!! :argh: :argh:

Let us know how you did! :drink:

Sorry for the delay , I think it went fairly well , the worst thing was turning my back exactly as hot break popped up so I lost some on the garage floor but after that it was ok . Going from extract to all grain I noticed alot of stuff going into the fermenter that I wasnt sure I should have let go in but all seems to have settled to the bottom . I will be bottling tomorrow so I can check gravity and have a taste. I have been thinking alot about wort aeration (not sure I spelled that right). To use an air pump with a stone or just do a bunch of shaking . What do you all do ?

Hi GuingesRock, I always think that I need to hurry when it comes to getting wert into the fermenter , pitching the yeast and getting some oxygen to it then get the airlock on asap to prevent contamination . Maybe I need to slow it down a bit?

tlrgear, I guess I do have the lid on for that half an hour. There are lots of different ways. That's the one I settled with and like. Probably for it's simplicity and seems to work well for me.
