Hey guys I'm about ready to do my 1st biab when i get home in a week. I'll list my ingredients below. I'd like to do a IPA but not too hoppy. I really like Rouges yellow snow so something similair would be nice. I'm going to be doing 10 gal batches in my keg in the future but will prob do a 5 gal for the 1st one.
Canada malting superior pale ale :25kg
". ". Munich: 25 kg
About 1/2 kilo of chocolate malt
Great Western crystal 60: 1kg
About a 1/2 kg of carapils
Centennial: 1 lbs.
Summit: 1 lbs.
I have some fuggles, Willemette & a few others in small amounts
Hopefully my East Kent will be in when I get home as well.
Wyeast 1056.
Washed wyeast pacman
Washed wyeast ESB
I may be able to pick up a few more ingredients on the way home if necessary.
Equipment: 15.5 gal keggle, bayou classic burner( 250,000 btu I believe), pulley setup for biab bag, immersion chiller, digital thermometer, 6 & 5 gal fermenters.
Thanks for any help guys.

I think I would do a 5 gallon batch, something around 1.055-1.060 OG. Use @ 70% pale, 15% Munich, 10% crystal, 5% carapils....Summit is a high alpha hop with great citrus/orange flavor so I would FWH with Summit for @ 35 IBU and do a 15 minute addition with the Centennial to add about 10 more IBU's, then dry-hop after primary fermentation stops (7-10 days) with a mix of perhaps half ounce each of Summit and Centennial for @ 5 days before packaging. Use the Pacman...it's an awesome yeast for an APA/IPA (I have a friend that works at Rogue....he tells me Pacman is nothing but a "dirty" strain of London Ale yeast).
Anybody else got any input????

You are the man Todd 
. That looks great.
Strength, let us know if you need a hand on how much water to use etc and we'll get you sorted.

Good luck with it, funnily enough I've literally just finished filling 14 bottles of what I've called Yellow Snow (Maris Otter + Citra hop SMaSH recipe). (BIABacus figures ended up being damn near exact as far as volumes now just need to tweak efficiency figure)

Yes, that would be great Patch. Haven't played with the calculator much so any help is appreciated. At work today but will play around with it tomorrow.PistolPatch wrote:You are the man Todd

Do you need any more info?

Todd's done a great job above in the recipe design. Thank the brewing gods for brewers like him otherwise brewers like me would have nothing to copy 
.
Pretty sure we have everything else which is great
.
We'll end up using one of the Pre-Release versions of the BIABacus for this instead of The Calculator. It's a lot easier and has a lot more good info in it.
Cheers,
Patch

BTW, I like crystal 60 for my APA/IPA's. And that 5 gallon figure is for IFP (into final packaging).

I'm not at home now but here are some measurements I took for making my biab bag.PistolPatch wrote:Todd's done a great job above in the recipe design. Thank the brewing gods for brewers like him otherwise brewers like me would have nothing to copy

S&H,
My main computer has just blown up so I've asked the guys in this post of the "How to convert recipes to suit your equipment..." thread to look after you. Pre-release BIABacus files have to be posted in that thread anyway.
If you can give them more accurqate kettle dimensions then go for it. Also, one thing that is important that I forgot to ask for is the alpha acid percentages of each of your hops. It's better if you have them otherwise the guys will just use an average for each hop varierty.
Just post that info in the other thread if you are able.
