    Hi folks - BIAB question inside

    Thanks for the info guys. I checked the reading tonight and it came back at about 1008/1009 so I'll check again tomorrow evening and see if it has moved. Was aiming for 1006 but without an OG reading it might be hard to tell where it should be.

    Hi folks - BIAB question inside

    Minor update: Couldn't test OG because somehow my hydrometer broke in the move. Something smashed the top of it so have to wait till tomorrow for the brew shop to open to buy another. Airlock stopped bubbling away about 3 days after fermentation started so not sure what has happened. Will take a...

    Hi folks - BIAB question inside

    Quick update, beer has finished cooking and is currently cooling. Into the fermenter tonight, slap in some yeast and wait 10 days to bottle. Have to get some 350ml bottles as last time I brewed it, I didn't realise why I was getting fairly well hammered until I did some math and realised it was...

    Hi folks - BIAB question inside

    Well... I had a massive timing fail and didn't get to the brew shop on time. That was rectified yesterday and I have a bag of grain ready to brew this afternoon or tomorrow! Have to do some arts and crafts with the small people before that though so we will see when I get time.

    Thanks for the reply, I have worked most of this out on the fly as I went, but I wish I had have known before I started that day as it made it more challenging than it should have been. Thermometer was bought from a brew shop and says 76mm immersion, unfortunately it doesn't state from where in...

    I ruined myself!!

    Things I wish I knew: Where to hold / how deep to hold my thermometer to get an accurate reading The expected ABV of the finished product (my fault on not calculating beforehand) The best way of adding a bit of extra water at the end to make sure it was sterile to dilute it a touch without...

    Not an IPA, and unsure of your equipment, but A Guide to Mini-BIAB - BIABrewer.info for a mini BIAB or - BIABrewer.info for the full recipe if you have the gear. Was my first BIAB (mini) and brewing it again this weekend. Be careful on bottle size... it packs a punch!

    Hi folks - BIAB question inside

    YES! Thank you Phil! https://www.biabrewer.info/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=153 This is the thread I found originally and it worked a charm. I now know what I'll be doing on Sat/Sun.

    Hi folks - BIAB question inside

    Hi all, I'm 99% certain that I saw on this forum a step by step guide to a mini biab complete with recipe for an american pale ale, which I followed mostly to the letter, and it turned out an amazing beer! Herein lies the biggest issue, I forgot to record the recipe in my book, and ALSO did not...
