Hi, I just found this thread while searching "what is BIAB". Sounds pretty interesting, and I love the idea of shaving a couple of hours off my brewday (currently using a cooler MLT + fly sparge). What I'd llike to know is what kind of effect has the large volume of mash water been on the...

I just finished my second batch of BM's blue moon clone and it turned out great! I modified a few things from my first batch experience and also from all the information in this thread. The flaked oats someone mentioned really turned out to be a great addition. They lightened up the body and...

Hello. I brewed up a partial mash version of this recipe a couple months ago. It turned out quite well and has gotten pretty smooth after about 5-6 weeks in the bottle. The munich adds a little bit of sweetness and the biscuit comes through at the finish. It's been years since I've had a fat...

I am putting together a partial mash recipe for this brew right now. Your recipe seems to have a lot of extract to me, cause I usually hit an OG of around 1.05* using ~4lb. of grain and 3.3lbs of DME for a 5.5gallon batch. I haven't made this yet, but here's my plan: Maris Otter 2.2lb...

I did a similar partial mash brew as your recipe: Pale malt 2-row (US) 3.25 lb. Crystal Malt (40L) 0.75 lb. Light DME 3.3 lb. Kent Goldings 2.5oz -1.5 oz for 60min -1.0 oz at 30 min Safale S-04 I topped everything up to almost 6 gallons so my original gravity was a little bit low...

Hey, just wanted to post an update. I let everything ferment (orange peel, corriander, and all) for two weeks in the primary. OG was spot on at 1.038 and final gravity was 1.010. When I tasted the hydro sample the bitter orange shock almost knocked my socks off. No hint of the corriander or...

Hey, thanks for the quick reply Biermuncher! I had a few too many last night and must have been pretty worried cause I had a dream about my fermenter leaking. That's a good idea about using the strainer bag to keep the tube from clogging up. Definitely something I'll put to use in the...

Hello all, after reading the forums here for a few weeks here at HBT I finally got around to joining up. I've been really impressed with the amount of useful information posted here and would like to give a big shout out of thanks to everyone who has contributed here! Anyway, I just brewed...
