    First BIAB AG attempt - partial success?

    how much did you have in the kettle before cubing ? how much left over trub did you chuck away ? fermenter volume doesn't account for that .it only accurate if every drop from the kettle goes into the fermenter

    First BIAB AG attempt - partial success?

    I stared ag a few months ago. Just put my 8th batch in the cube. Just keep brewing. Like anything a big part of the process is understanding your gear. The numbers will work allot better when you have all your water volumes and losses dialed in. Every set up is different. I’d say it took me 6...

    question for yeast cake pitchers

    question for yeast cake pitchers

    Cheers I think they are similar enough. The pale ale was 75% Pilsner while the 2nd is 85% with some Dex. Even hop wise the pale was magnum and Saaz. I’m gonna use the same as a base in the Duvel , left overs , but add citra late and dry hop
