This recipe came from a guy on another forum.. It turned out well for him so I thought I'd give it a shot. He brewed it as a Fat Tire style but with more hops.. Well since I'm an IPA guy I bumped it up just a tad...

This is my 2nd BIAB

BeerSmith said 1.055 OG - I got 1.051

This is a 2 gallon batch and I'm actually using my old Mr Beer fermenter! It'll ferment at 68 degrees in the chest freezer. Probably will just ferment for 2 weeks?? and not do a secondary.

Got the temp down to 72 degrees in 15 minutes with IC and ice batch and pitched the 1272 American Ale II wyeast.. no starter since it was just a 2 gallon batch.

We'll see...

Did the software take into account the BIAB method? That might account for the difference in OG.

Dunno.. I'm pretty new with beersmith but think I have it dialed in right? I would have thought with the double sparge I would have hit the OG on the money but dunno why I was a little low?
