Mothman, the recipe says that it is calculated at 75% efficiency

Think I got my first infection. Made a hefe and it looks ok when I look at the fermenter, other than being very cloudy, no floaty gross looking infection but tastes really sour and smells pungent. Can't quite describe the smell.

Kind of hard to show the arm tattoos...have to show them in pieces.

Here's a good explanation of efficiencies http://www.brewersfriend.com/2012/11/30/making-sense-of-efficiency-definitions/

hmmm...not sure why the picture is sideways. You get the idea.

This for me is the worse part of bottling. I have to toss a full beer

Welcome to brewing and the boards. You shouldn't have anything to worry about with your og and yeah, your resulting abv may be a bit lower but it will be fine. Good luck with the brew and the baby

I'm no expert but I think this depends on your recipe (ie, how much grain you're going to use) and your boiloff rate (ie how much water you're going to need). I'm doing my first biab tomorrow and i have 12 pounds of grain and due to a boiloff rate of 1.75 gallons per hour I have to use just...

I have a T/C Hawken that after using for a bit now just sits on the wall. I went in-line with a T/C Omega and just love it.

I just bought this one for my biab set up. It's 15 gallons, stainless steel and not expensive. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0085ZODVO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I would love to be in for the "any size" bag! I have a 60qt kettle. Both offers are extremely generous!

Thanks all. I'll use the voile to make my bag.

Hopefully I'm not asking too many dumb questions but while setting up my biab system I want to make sure I'm doing it right. When deciding on a bag, what size mesh should I be looking for? I have voile material from curtains that I can make a bag with or I can get one of those laundry bags...
