Hello everyone,
Hope you're all good.
I've been very much glued to this forum after registering last week. As the title of the thread suggests, I'm in the midst of planning my first BIABacus brew however I have a number of questions which I'm hoping some of you lovely people can spare a few minutes to answer.
This will be my fourth BIAB brew however I've always used recipes I've found online in the past, to largely mixed results. Despite all tasting reasonably well, they've all been much too strong and I've now developed a reputation among my friends of brewing something akin to Special Brew! I'm keen to use the BIABacus and speak to you folks in order to better understand the brewing process.
For my first BIABacus brew I've decided to do a simple Citra Smash, and fingers crossed you will find my BIABacus sheet attached. If any of you have time to give it a quick once over for me that would be great.
My biggest questions are around the hop bill and, in a nutshell, just what to do! I've taken a stab at a schedule after looking at a few recipes both here and elsewhere, but I'm really not sure what I should be looking to do. How many hops I should add when, should I dry hop, for this style of beer what sort of IBU should I be looking at? I could go on!
Thanks very much,
Jim
