    BIAB - detrmining strike volume and temp

    You should be approved, PP is likely sleeping right now .. so I went ahead and asked a mod to look into it.

    BIAB - detrmining strike volume and temp

    Cool, yeah ... we do have a First Post thread, and that's generally what the mods use to approve new members. Helps us with spammers. Your pm will certainly suffice, though.

    BIAB - detrmining strike volume and temp

    Yes, in Section K. TWN = total water needed. SWN = (heated) strike water needed, the only difference between those numbers in a full volume mash is the heat expansion. The next line is total mash volume (heated). If water is held back for a sparge (or simply added pre-boil), SWN and...

    BIAB - detrmining strike volume and temp

    I use BIABacus exclusively, and have not tried Beersmith. I also do not have a desire to learn Beersmith, but I may one day for ease of communication with other brewers. It's perfectly understandable if there is a BS user who is comfortable with the software, and has no interest to learn the...

    BIAB Trials and findings

    Personally, I appreciate that you shared this. Regardless of how perfect/imperfect an "experiment" is viewed by anyone, being transparent with your methods allows us to analyze yet another context of brewing. Might not be the exact one that is preferred, but many need to understand that your...

    I have a used sankey keg (converted from corny, posts were welded shut). Looking to trade it for a used ball lock 5G corny. PM me if interested. No pics as of yet, but can provide.

    Translation: meh, screw everyone else and my collateral damage, it's all about me.

    Then perhaps it might be an interesting exercise to look through what I've attempted to discuss in here, and pay attention to the resulting comments. What I'm doing, is keeping this thread on topic. Personal attacks have come my way, pointing them out and showing how I perceive is actually...

    Across all brew styles, forums, malts, adjuncts ... etc ... 90 minutes has become widely accepted around the world to be sufficient. In light of what you get in 20 minutes is not as all encompassing, therefore more assumptions must be made. And I repeat ... The burden of proof is on you...

    Classic "perfect solution fallacy". We recognize the flaws, and are transparent about what needs to be done. have you seen this discussion? http://www.biabrewer.info/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=2044&p=34616#p34616 Just as I articulated to RM-MN about a possible "experiment" in regard to short...

    First BIAB

    I find this post humorous, because the most common compliment to Pat and his site from new members is how laid back and amiable the discussions are. Look at the end of that thread, and notice how a member articulated your point so much better. I'll go ahead and chalk this one up to cognitive...

    We all agree, as I mentioned earlier site structure is being worked on right now to address this. If there was a thread to define that site for me, it would be this one I list below. Might be confusing for those who are not familiar with the BIABacus terminology, but it's a fine example of...

    I'm sorry, but this is very shallow and I do not agree with you at all. You kinda did. It may have been the first thing you found, but you wasted no time in pointing it out instead of opening a discussion about it on his forum. But, fair enough I suppose. Sure, it can lead to tannin...

    First BIAB

    Noted. My personality profile is INTJ, and I'm very self aware about how pointed we can seem to others. It's just my nature to be brutally direct, and assume people can tell the difference when I am stating opinion rather than fact.

    First BIAB

    Please do. As I've said, he will readily admit to what he is unsure of, but one of his angles is to assert opinions to save himself on the time spent answering questions. This has come up many times, sometimes he's brief, other times he'll write a book. It's easy to look back on the past...

    1. He actually does have advice on the topic, and has an open mind. What's the problem again? I also have advice, well ... not really advice but a code that I live by. What we do have is gobs of scientific support for traditional methods. Occam's Razor states: " ... among competing...

    PistolPatch and Pat are always him, there are a few others which I think are also shared among the admins.
