No you didn't miss them, they are just not listed. I think I need to send my water off for a test. Thanks for the reply.

I have been extract brewing for the past year and am now moving into BIAB. I have a 15g kettle so can do full volume boils. I have posted elsewhere on this forum and the members have been very helpful. I was asking questions about water and someone referred me to this area. I have attached a...

My city water pH is between 7.5 and 8.4. I have some pH strips arriving today to be a little more accurate. As I am adding pretty much all Pale malts in the Bells clone mentioned, so I presume the pH will be pretty high (hence ordering the Lactic Acid). I will check that with the software you...

For my first few BIABs I was planning on using city water and using Lactic Acid to get the PH down to 5.2-5.6. Is this a good idea? I looked at RO but think I need to find my way slowly into that complex area. I have looked at several software options and will take another look at BrewFather. I...

As I have a recirc pump, I guess I could sparge with the existing wort using the pump through the grain bag (will be supported on a winch). But I guess that is probably not as good as 'rinsing' with clean water. I look forward to experimenting.

I invested in this one. Premium Recirculating Electric (240v) BIAB Package (SPIKE brand kettle). I will look for examples of other using it. I checked out some of your videos last night. Thanks for sharing your information. What is the science behind that? You would have thought it would have...

I think it was the way I phrased the question which wasn't helpful. I was referring more about technique than the actual recipe. ie, the recipe is the recipe so that's good. But if someone has had success with a recipe by mashing for 90 mins instead of 60, then mashing out and squeezing the bag...

Bells Two Hearted Ale it is. I see they have 4.25 gallons strike and 4.5 gallons sparge. I will combine that in the single vessel to approx 8.75 gallons, but will do some recalculations for my own system. I will follow your advice on stirring, milled grains and mash out. I have a Topsflow pump...

As I am just learning all-grain, my terminology may not be correct.

Yes I know lol. But I also know that as efficiency is not so good, some people boil for 90 mins instead of 60 mins, double-crush grains, mashout at 170 etc. Before I start l wanted to just copy (as much as that is possible with different equipment) a tried and trusted BIAB recipe.

I have been extract brewing for the past year and have just invested in some BIAB kit (Spyke 15g Kettle, Topsflow Pump and Auber Cube). So for my first few BIAB sessions I want to brew something that is a tried and tested BIAB IPA recipe (adapted for my kit). So if it goes wrong, I know its my...

7246.5 + 20 gallons Six Point Resin Clone 20 gallons Double IPA 15 gallons Belgian Quad 15 gallons Belgium Tripel 10 gallons Belgium Dubbel 10 gallons Imperial Blonde 10 gallons Irish Stout 5 gallons NEIPA = 7351.5

Its the same with Brewers Best. They put a 5oz packet of sugar in each pack, but you add between 4oz-5oz depending on the style.

Out of interest. When you tasted the beer was it over carbonated?

Thanks for that. So if you do that after brewing, what do you do next time you brew, just sanitize?

So you only Oxy clean once after brewing, regardless of how much time between brews?

I am moving from extract to BIAB. Cleaning my extract equipment was easy. Used to clean it with fragrance free washing liquid to get the crud off and give stuff a general clean after use, then soak with PBW (or similar) and sanitize before using it the next time. However moving to BIAB with a...

LOL. I sure will.

I think I have settled on this system which is a little more flexible and allows me to expand a little if I need to "BrewHardware 240v 15G BIAB option with Topsflow Pump, Blichmann Brew Controller (or maybe the Cube E) and a 'Short and Stocky' immersion chiller."

I am moving to BIAB after getting my feet wet with about 25 extract kits (all bottled). Once I have got my BIAB feet wet, I plan on moving onto kegs. Just want to take one step at a time so if I do get a bad batch, I have a limited amount of 'new' things to find the issue. Looking forward to the...
