That's come through perfectly oldgit ,

Okay, above you mentioned using 50 grams of Columbus instead of 10 grams. In the file, I can't see 10 grams anywhere. Even in the orignal recipe, it says 30 grams plus 20 grams.

...

The only problem with your BIABacus file is that you haven't filled out either of the first two fields in Section D. You must fill out one of them (preferably the VAW) otherwise the BIABacus can't calculate "What you will use". It's worked it out for the grains - see how the original recipe used 5,000 grams of Maris Otter but the BIABacus is telling you to use 6265 grams?

Anyway, that's fantastic you can post the files up. We'll be able to double-check your next brew before you buy the ingredients really easily now.

We are patient eh?

I found your second upload - a few posts ago. Next time load up your new files in your latest posts for two reasons; we'll be able to easily find your improvement and, secondly, you need as much uploading practice as you can get .

Okey dokey mate...

I won't write much here - it's probably best to take things a bit at a time; I often throw too much info out in one hit. Let's go bit by bit but thoroughly...

Sections A to C

In Section A, add the link to this thread. It might be unimportant now to you or anyone else, but if the file spreads, that link gives you and others an easy place to come back to the original idea/info on the recipe.

In Section B, I want to see the Recipe Credits. Morally, the original source should be credited but, it also makes things easier for the reader for the same reasons as above. I use at least two screens when answering questions here and even that is hard. Clicking a link is easier than me scrolling back through the thread trying to find the original recipe details.

In Section C, there is no need to write 1.060 on both the left and right sides. You are not changing the OG so just type it on the left.

More on Section C

For reasons I won't go into, I suspect that in this batch you may have bought/used the weights used on the left of Section C rather than the right-hand side.

In other words, was the grain bill you bought/used 5.6kgs or 7kgs?

That's my first question.

Looks like about 1.5L of trub out of your 25L into fermenter. That's pretty good, definitely no probs there. Just reading back and I see you dry hopped in the primary so that will steal some more volume. In other words, don't expect to get 23 litres into your packaging.

As for your 1.055 gravity, in your file, it says you scored 26 litres into fermenter instead of the estimated 25L. This will have weakened your wort a tad but it's nothing to worry about.

As a matter of interest, in your pic, you'll see you now have a bit under 25 L in your fermenter now but your krausen line shows 26 L. That's an area I've always meant to investigate more - volume loss during actual fermentation.

I looked at all 3 BIABacus files within this thread. I can't see where you have completed much of your actual numbers in Section L and not only that, your new file has an altogether new OG in Section B.

Because we can't tell what your efficiencies where on your first brew we can't advise much going further on another similar brew.

At the least, you can change the OG back to 1.060 and keep the 1.065 for the "for this batch I'd like to try this OG". That will keep the same grain bill the same, but won't confuse me later.

My best guess for the hops, for an IPA, in Section D, is to delete the value in VAW and enter between 40 and 50 IBU on the second line.
