My First and Last BIAB..........!
Hello Boys and Girls,
Get your tissues ready to wipe the tears of laughter from your eyes!
This has been the worst day of my life! Faffing about, wait for this, wait for that, blah, blah.........!
Done my Bloody Head in!
Anyway, BeerSmith would not accept my figures (I don`t why), so I made a Sinatra BIAB. Yes, I did it my way!
If any of you would like to put these items in Beersmith and see what comes out at the end, please do so! It`s made now, so what the Hell!
Page 164 of GW`s book uses 4Kg of stuff so I thought I would follow that page! Simples!
2Kg Simpsons Golden Promise
1Kg Simpsons Pale
500gr Crystal
500gr Amber
120gr Carared
17gr EKG , 17gr Progress, 15gr Challenger in at boil start,
20gr Amarillo 10 mins from end of boil.
SG 15Lts 1064
SG 18Lts 1046
18Lts of Fine Tasting, Fine Smelling something!
We do have a Larrfffff, don`t we!
WA

Re: My First and Last BIAB..........!
The first all grain brew is always the worst! Then you can do it like bashing up a kit brew
I put your recipe into Beersmith but substituted the 3KG of Simpsons malt with MO with a total efficiency of 70%. Beersmith tells me a 18L batch will have an OG of 1.049 so you done well WA
You may have overshot the bitterness with all those hops at the start though. Knowing what you brew you'll probably like it though!
What yeast did you use?

Re: My First and Last BIAB..........!
Don't use Beersmith. Use the BIABacus as it's perfect for BIAB.
Re: My First and Last BIAB..........!
Glad to see you got there WA. This means you can start brewing some fine Welsh Mild to share at next years festival

Re: My First and Last BIAB..........!
Oh Me, Oh My!
What have I made?
Beautiful Beer! That`s what!
MrsAles in work, I`ve done the washing, dishes, hoovering etc, so I fancied a pint!
White Grape and Peach TC, Great!
Exotic Juice TC, Great!
Hoppy Copper Bitter, Great!
Coopers Cerveza, Great!
Staggering around the house looking for something else to do (drink), I saw my BIAB.
5 days in the bottle, you can`t drink that! Try it, Go on, You know you want to!
So I tried it!
Ha! GHOO! Great Fruity Smell, Great Malty taste, Hoppy, Coffee Taste. (where the hell does the coffee come into it)?
Anyway, What a Pint!
It`s Bloody Lovely Mun!

"Coffee Taste. (where the hell does the coffee come into it)?"
That will be the Amber malt.
That will be the Amber malt.

AaaaaaaaaaH!

No way am I putting bad pics on here! Only the best will do!
Next up is `Jims Brew Thingy`
No it`s not, next up is tomorrow, Super Wherry WA Style (£15 in Wilko, be rude not to)!
WA
I forgot to say `It`s Bloody Lovely Mun`!

Re: My First and Last BIAB..........!
I'm surprised you haven't bashed out a pint of WA Finest Welsh Mild yet.
