1.030 and you were aiming for 1.060? That to me sounds like a complete miss calculation somewhere? or a misread hydrometer? what software were you using? did u realise that the recipe was only for 8L into fermenter? And that the recipe you have linked has an OG of 1.045? I highly suggest you...

You should check out http://www.biabrewer.info/ if your planning on moving into full volume brewing. They have a great brew calculator too.

Well Im a BIABer, never left my beer in bottles for more than 4 months but BIAB is simply an alternate way of producing wort. The only difference is the method of the mash so I don't see any reason why a BIAB beer would age any differently than a beer made with traditional 3V methods? unless...

Hey daf, Thanks for that link, have always been worried about HSA but I guess I can stop worrying now. :cheers:

For BIAB I would suggest getting the biggest vessel possible so you will be able to do a full volume mash. I have a 49L stock pot and find I have 7.5cm of head room with a low gravity beer (1.038) for 23L into fermenter. Holding back water is fine but just a bit of a pain as you will need a...

I use exactly the same no chill cube as RPT has advertised. Excellent seal, as the wort cools the air space collapses and sucks the sides in a bit. You know if you have an infection (haven't had one yet) because the sides will swell outwards rather than suck inwards. No need to squeeze the air...

Cheers. Its an american pale ale hop bursted and dry hopped with Amarillo. Still young only 2weeks in the bottle but its really clear. Wanted to try out flaked oats but ordered malted oats by mistake, chucked them in anyways, at 5% cant really taste it though. Very hoppy little malt backbone...

Hi Im new to this forum so thought I should share a brew day, Brewed a Bitter from brewing classic styles although I had to substitute some special roast as its unavailable here. Im a BIABer and do a full volume mash and no chill. Had a little problem with steam not wanting to leave the...

Hi stuworx Congrats on your first BIAB. Don't threat about those high mash temps, yes they are too high but your going to still have beer at the end although it may not be quite what you were expecting. The general rule is higher the mash temp the more non fermentable sugars are converted...

Sorry Callumscott I think you misunderstood my point. I'm not suggesting you should squeeze. Just wanted to point out that tanning won't be extracted if you do. I squeeze simply to speed up the draining process. Also I'm in no way suggesting squeezing can give you a better beer or increase your...

Hi I disagree with this don't squeeze your bag thing. I do it all the time and have never detected any tannins. I believe it to be a common myth that no one has actually tested? If your a BIABer you should really check out BIABrewer.info its a great community of people who are focused on...
