Hi guys,
I did a Zombie Dust clone on Sunday, apart from one error it really went smoothly and I was happy with the session. A few quick points that might help new BIABers.
1. I've started using a paint stirrer to agitate the mash and it's fantastic!
2. After overshooting my mash temp (while reheating after pitching grain...not sure how that happened!!) I've since bought a thermapen, I look forward to 4 second accurate readings. With my current thermometer you have to hold your tongue right so it won't turn off, and wait thirty odd seconds for an accurate read. I'm not saying everyone should race out and buy one, but they do get excellent reviews in brewing and cooking (my review to follow once it's here).
3. BIABacus is the shit, such an excellent helpful tool that will help you to brew great beer from the start (as long as you have a good recipe). It's also a great brewing log with plenty of room to enter key remarks about the brewing day.
anyway, yeast pitched tonight into a brew that already tastes delightful, I can't wait until it's in a keg!
4th BIAB - lessons learned.
