Yeah, was trying to think if it was something I did post boil that I don't do when doing extracts etc and couldn't think of anything. Use same chiller etc I don't treat the water, it is from a fresh water well at the in laws. Plus I use it for the extracts brews too. I'll let it sit for a week...

Something I've given no consideration to I must admit, was gonna get a few more brews under my belt before looking into water treatments But this might speed that up

Evening all Have done 2 BIAB batches, a SMASH Citra and a recipe kit American Amber. Citra smash fermented well but noticed an off taste when I kegged it. Had a more experienced brewer taste it after a few weeks and he said it was infected but couldn't identify it. In fairness it was really...

Cheers, definitely different figures to what I was coming up with :( Will do BIAB so, have done a few 5 gallon batches so hopefully be a bit easier Thanks

Yeah, initial plan was to do BIAB in an 18l pot but then got thinking to do a mash then sparge and would use a smaller pot/s. Mash tun would just be a small stainless pot with a jacket thrown over it. Fermenter is a 5 litre carboy No clue about what OG should be as it's a premixed kit with no...

So, made a purchase of this 1 stovetop AG kit: https://www.geterbrewed.ie/stove-top-ingredient-kit-multi-hop-pleasure/ Thought it might come with instructions for mash water amounts etc but no such luck. Admittedly I'm a follow the numbers type of guy so despite trying to do the calculations I...

Transferred my SN Clone to secondary and dry hopped with cascade

Did an APA partial using pale malt, Crystal 60 and Munich Nugget at 60, Perle at 15 and Cascade at 1. Used US-05, all standard enough

1640.5 + 5 gallons APA = 1645.5

Busy man :yes::rock:

Cheers guys

Thanks for answer. Have done 2 BIABS so far but guess I'm just looking for an easy way of finding my next recipe without doing many calculations myself as I see so many recipes for a style I might like to try but it might be for a batch sparge method etc

Say I see a recipe for a particular brew using a mash and sparge method, if I wanted to do a no sparge BIAB of that recipe is it as simple as adding the initial mash water and sparge amounts to get the strike water amount for a no sparge BIAB?

Cheers, but I must admit I care not an ounce for rugby, even though I played it in my youth. Still, keeps them alive in the 6 nations so will keep people happy :yes:

2nd BIAB, an American amber mash kit from HBS store here in Ireland Hit numbers pretty well but hiccup at the end with fermentation bucket. Hopefully won't be crucial but be annoying if it ruins the beer. Anyway, happy enough and think it'll be fine

2nd BIAB just done, 5 gallons American amber Love the process, pretty much done in under 4 hours

1409 + 5 gallons American amber = 1414

American amber AG kit and 100g each nugget and cascade

I might give that a go, cheers

Didn't bin it yet, but checked again and it is very off. Not sure if it is acetyldehyde, never had one go like this before I'll get somebody in the know to have try and see what they say it might be
