Thanks you both for these responses. It seems pretty clear that I need to embrace some sort of program or software - is there a good one that is free? Also, please do doubt my abilities, because at this point they are rudimentary at best ha. I don't really see much reason not to do a small...

Thanks for the response. Since this is my first time on this equipment, I don't know my efficiency. I take it to mean that I should assume a slight loss and add a few oz more grain? Would this possibly be accounted for by the fact that I am considering adding maple syrup, which should increase...

Having trouble figuring out what needs to be different from all the standard AG recipes I see. I am going for my first batch of BIAB method, and I have been meaning to use up some oatmeal I got at Costco. Maybe some maple syrup thrown in there too? Could not find anything on BIABbrewer, and I...

So I finally got a chance to try this. The fryer company even sent me a new regulator and hose, which I tried. I was still unable to get a torch-like flame, instead dealing with a large, silent, orange flame. The company has offered to send me a replacement burner, but I am unsure if there is...

Hello again, all As I continue to pore over numerous threads regarding BIAB process, more and more questions pop up. One to which I can't seem to find an answer is in regard to water displacement volumes. Here is my situation: I have an 8.75 gallon kettle and want to do 5-5.5 gallon...

Wow, thanks, everyone, for so much great information. I've been part of numerous communities, and this is by far the most helpful. I will definitely grab a paint strainer and some clips, as well as a bottle. So in order to brew some of the higher gravity beers, what is the limitation...

I apologize in advance, as I know that the answers to my questions are out there to be found, but I have been reading for hours and am unable to synthesize it all. My familiarity with all the technical speak is not as advanced as I'd like it to be, which gives me trouble in sifting through all...
