Im going to start biab soon and was just curious do you have to make any adjutments for the recipes in the data base cos i just went and got the good old woolies 20lltr pot the other day and was wanting to do Docs golden ale on the stovetop...excuse my ignorance if this is obvious cheers.
Cool, should be no hassle. With any newcomer to BIAB and seeing as you've got the 19/20L stockpot I'd recommend a simple stock BIAB, either this one here locally or alternately, this one at biabrewer.
As far adjustments goes, yes, you will need to scale the recipe to suit that kettle, suggest this calculator at biabrewer (you will need to sign up to download, but that's easy). Scaling the recipe is linear though, just about everything revolves around batch size.
I recommend new BIABers try that stock method to begin with, then when confident with stock BIAB there's scope to increase the brewlength (i.e. batch size) without much change to the equipment, or look at bigger kettles.
Doc's GA recipe is quite OK, but just about any recipe can be scaled to suit your kettle, if you've got a favourite beer that has an All- Grain recipe then it can be scaled to suit.
Hope it goes well, you know what to do if there's any hassles! :icon_cheers:
