Hi, have chosen this recipe to be my first as the ingredients are available at my online shop.

the original recipe is this.

5.3 kg pale malt
300g crystal
300g carapil
73g cascade pellots

14g@60min
14g@30min
28g@15

Irish moss @10mins.

Sorry I cant give credits for this recipe, I found it on the net before I found this site.
But it was a video of a couple of oldish Aussies from a brew shop I think. Looked for again but couldnt find it..
I am not sure what else I should fill in.. but in the guide it said those 5 things are enough.
I also tried to scale the recipe for 10lt with the calculator. I am not sure on a few points .
The calculator says water required 18.7 lts. Do I input this number into the biabacus where it says where it says total water needed (TWN)?

The ingredients I basically just halfed, but the crystal I put 200g because I have 200g.

I have a 23lt fermentor (coopers) now and a 10lt square one on the way, I want to do 10lts as I want to try CC and maybe lagers,
and this is the only size that will fit in my little fridge.

cheers

Thanks, PistolPatch.

I have read those posts, and will need to re-read a few times to get it to sink in. It is hard to find a decent recipe that fits, as you said.
You mention several times in multiple threads that the VAW is the most important number, can I just confirm as to the why?

Is it that everyones equipment is different, size of pot, heat thats able to be applied and all that that affects evaporation rate.
And the VAW is the number that can/ should be measured when when brewing inorder to allow others to correctly adjust a recipe
to thier needs, and determine total water needed, water needed for the boil?

you mentioned that you (someone) could come up with a recipe for me. I`d love to take you up on that offer. I was going to brew the
NRB'S All Amarillo APA or one from the commentary but I am unable to get Amarillo at the moment at least.
I have translated as best I could the grains that my online shop has. The site is quite vague, I tried speaking on the phone. Didn`t work.
Hop you don`t mind me posting all the grains and hops they have?

I have a wheat beer going now, a kit hopefully my last. and at the moment I don`t have a thermostat for my frigde, so lagers are out.
Temperatures now are a pretty steady between 20-24 C. I have a fermenting cupboard so can keep temps. below 24. Warming up now.
Any Ale recipe will do, just to get my experience going.

Sorry for the long post,
Marcus.

Thanks Robertz64,
Actually I was looking through different threads last night and found the thread about how to convert BCS recipes to BIAB.
First thing I did was go to Amazon JP. and they had it. Purchased and waiting now. Got my mash bag in the post yesterday too.
So now I need a recipe and then to order the ingredients, plan the brew day. BIAB is getting exciting.
