I haven't actually got my BIAB equipment as of yet, but am looking into equipment and like the look of an all-in-one ACE boiler (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ACE-BEER-MASH ... 339973c708) basically a converted water boiler.

So based on this i've been trying to fit the below recipe (from http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=276756) into the BIABacus:

----------

From what i can see the above recipe does not have much integrity but i've tried to fit it in as much as possible. I'm looking to brew 20 x 330mL bottles so have set the VIF so that VIP is just above 6.6L. Can someone have a look and tear it apart if need be?

P.S. On a side note when using Section Q of the BIABacus and setting my bottle volume as 330mL why doesn't it calculate the amount of bottles required?

Thanks, so if i get you right i should just continue the mash until i hit a 1.049 sg and not worry too much about the timing?

Current plan (once i get the boiler) is to split this in two once boiled and add coffee/vanilla to one to try and replicate the Vanilla Shake version of Beer Geek though without being a double/imperial stout.

Thanks for the help, once i get everything set-up i'm sure i'll be back for some other help and an update on how it all went.

Hey, I'm looking to use a recipe that is the same or very similar to this one. I'm curious about the integrity. It seems like it has figures for VIF (6 gallons) and VIB (7 gal) as well as GIB (1.066) and OG (1.077)

I'm curious if I should increase the mash and/or boil time to 90 minutes to accommodate for BIAB.

I am actually converting this for my equipment for a 2 gallon batch. I have a 5 gallon kettle.


Here is the recipe report from BIABacus. I put in 90 minute mash tims instead of the 60 minute listed on the recipe. This is something I am still a little unsure about. I have read that BIAB does better with 90 minute mashes, is this true? Should I always mash 90 minutes regardless of recipe instructions? Should I stick with a 60 minute boil or go with 90 minutes?

Original Gravity (OG): 1.077
IBU's (Tinseth): 89.6
Bitterness to Gravity Ratio: 1.16
Colour: 17.5 EBC = 8.9 SRM

Kettle Efficiency (as in EIB and EAW): 73.9 %
Efficiency into Fermentor (EIF): 63.4 %

Note: This is a Pure BIAB (Full Volume Mash)

Total Water Needed (TWN): 13.87 L = 3.66 G
Volume into Boil (VIB): 11.93 L = 3.15 G @ 1.059

I set Section X - volume loss from lauter to 0.40 l/kg, per note.

Regarding your post #110, no that recipe does not have integrity, let me explain. First I increased the kettle size for this troubleshooting process. I also made changes to two of your hop additions (last two to zero minutes).

To find the VAW in the Hop Bill section, I played 20 questions to find what VAW would make it match the IBU on both sides, found 20.75L worked best for 98 IBU.

Looking at Section K I found 17.80L was the VIF, so I plugged that into Section B.

Set Section X to 70% to match grain bill weight on both sides.

If you are okay with the 'recipe', grain, hops, OG, etc., this is my best guess for you for the volumes to expect in Section K and the gravity into boil in Section M.

The efficiency will be somewhere between 70% and the BIABacus estimate of 76.7%

Hmm, I'm still new at this so I'm a little confused. Are you saying that you changed values in the BIABacus to match the original recipe to basically fact check it to see if the calculated values match the stated values in the recipe?

Are you able to explain further the adjustment made in section X? The 70% value, where does that that get plugged in? Adjust auto kettle efficiency by _% or set it to _%? I assume it's one of those but which one? Section X right now is the Area 51 of the BIABacus to me. Is there a post on these forums that clearly explains the functionality of this section? When to use it, how value adjustments change the rest of the values, etc?

Thanks for all your help!

Yes, this is exactly what I did. I wasn't able to post my file last night. It's included today.

The 70% from the recipe in post #110 actually did match the grain bill when it was entered into the BIABacus Section X. Feel free the remove that value and go with the predicted efficiency. Get a half dozen brews under your belt before you think to override the BIABacus defaults in Section X.

Reset your Section B settings and you should be a go on brewing this one. Follow the BIABacus volumes in Section K and the corresponding kettle headspace in Section T.
