Hey guys,
So, I'm nearly set to start with BIAB (no sparge). I have a 27L electric kettle that I will be using.
Now I've been looking for recipes with Beersmith (bought the app) but when converting the recipe to my BIAB equipment/mash setup, the ABV is higher. Take for example the 'Bell's two hearted IPA' recipe. It shows 6.8% in the recipe, but after applying my equipment it goes to 7.33%.
So i'm pretty sure that either one of the equipment configurations for the kettle or mash profile is incorrect.
Can someone tell me what I have configured incorrectly ?
