Well just finished my third BIAB. This time with adjuctants. Rice. And my first step mash. Wow what a day. It was a learning experience and getting the idea of the correct temps for the steps. I used Zwickel's step mash that he posted on the cream ale or somewhere here. Also I cooked my rice...

Ok Here is the take to of the recipe. I have taken into account to what people have said and also changed the amount of rice. As a 20% of total as per others ideas. Thanks Screwtop for your advice about balance hopefully this balances it up a bit. cheers Chucka Amount Item...

Gday Hopping, Cheers for that. I have not used Centennial by itself so thanks for the feedback on this. I did take the comments into consideration and will probably be using something like tettnang for bittering. Saaz sounds good to finish it off too. Thanks again to everyone for the feed back...

Yeah I could go higher but SWMBO likes a low alc content. I am using the centinnial becasue I have that at the moment. I am sure it will change the taste but I don't mind too much. I might try with Galena as it is the true hop. Chers for the feedback. Chucka

Cheers for this method Tony. There are many ways out there but none have been so easily explained. I like the idea of not taking up too much fridge space as not to upset SWMBO. I did my first Smack pack split but will be giving your idea a go too as less space. At the moment I only have stubbies...

Thanks Pistol Pete I am not really worried about waiting for the beer to mature. I have had beers when doing kit beers sitting for a year or so and yes they always taste better. My next AG will be a full 20 litre batch. One of Dr smurto but with a change in hops to try to clone a Bombadier...

Looks good mate, what is that a 5/03 or 04. Doing a fair bit of work there. Hope all goes well. Are you using spray balls for your CIP? We use these at work on our ferment and yeast systems.

I have just done my first AG. Trying replicate a Mexican Dark beer. Bohemia obscura. After months of reading through this thread and the ag for 30 bucks, I finally had the gear ready and the knowledge to give it a go. So just would like to say thanks for all the info and can't wait to bottle and...

Bunnings has some small 200 watt fan heaters if you are limited on space. I am planning using this in my brewing fridge. It has my own built in temp controller on it. The fan is only 100mm high wide and deep, by the look of it. Plus it is only 200 watts. Cheers Aussiechucka

Thanks for all the advice and help on this subject as I will be bottling my first BIAB larger. All of this info is helpful to know before hand. :super:

I have just used my first smack pack wyeast 2124 Bohemian Larger. Followed Batz's directions as I don't have a stir plate and split it into two, one litres. One for the fermenter and the other to split into two for another day. The fermenter is bubbling away nicely so I know it must have worked...

Thanks for all the help. At the moment I have just put down my first All grain, A Bohemia Clone, in the fermenter at the moment so will be some time befoe the ferment fridge is ready for another run. I finally got my hands on some bitter orange peel from Ross. So when the fridge is free I will...
