Here. I made you a very basic recipe to play around with. Please take note of all the sizes... For instance 16L boil volume and the fact there is no sparge... These numbers are based on my typical losses to grain and hop absorption as well as my boil off rate. Yours may differ.
Adjust everything and anything as you see fit! - Others please take a peak and comment on anything I may have goofed - I don't typically use metric or do less than 20L batches. I also HAVEN'T (edit - sorry) BIAB'd in a while! lol

One reason to scale the recipe instead of cutting the ingredients in half is that your losses, like boil off, kettle dead space, MLT dead space, are constants.thank you,
i really appreciate your guys help,thanks again
i was looking over the recipe you made me and seen that ive learned quite a bit over the past few days,
i'd appreciate if you could correct me with my assumptions when reading it:
1:i start off with 10l of water that i heat up to 66celcius.or i should have more to compensate for the loss while reaching that temp?
2:i mash(biab) my grains for 60 mins.No sparge.
3:i am then left with approx 9litres of mash.
4:i boil this mash this mash for 60mins and end with my final volume of 4 litres.
5:this 4litres of wort is then transferred to my fermenter.
Am i correct?
Keeping in mind what barbarian brewer stated, yes, your assumptions are correct.i was looking over the recipe you made me and seen that ive learned quite a bit over the past few days,

Maybe with propane/gas I boil off 3~lt on electric .Pretty sure you can count on 1L per Kg for grain absorption. Boil off is going to be somewhere between 4-5 liters/hour
i used normal table sugar,is that too much?I'll accept the virtual beer: Hint: One three-gram sugar cube is enough to carbonate 500 ml to about 2.5 volumes.
Normal table sugar or turbinado (raw sugar) is what I always use. You can use the Priming Sugar Calculator to see the how much of different kinds of sugar (corn sugar, table sugar, molasses, etc.) to use to reach your desired level of carbonation. When you enter the temperature of the beer, enter the highest fermentation temperature. In your specific case 3 grams looks right.i used normal table sugar,is that too much?
So good to hear! Be sure to give us a full description taste wise and a photo (of it poured into a glass!) before you down the last bottle!Hi everyone, thought I'd give a update on my very first batch that I messed up.
It fermented 5days.
Curiosity got the better of me yesterday afternoon.
I added 3grams of sugar to a 500ml bottle and filled it with my first batch.
Left it overnight and popped it into the fridge two hours ago.
You guys are freaking geniuses!
It tasted like beer!
Even had some carbonation,can't wait to taste it by Sunday!
I am amazed and proud and humbled at the same time.
Thanks so much guys,if this one taste like this I can only imagine how my last batch is gonna be.
Great stuff,I owe you guys a beer!
sorry,it probably is correct,cause thats for 2 liters.that cant be right/
9.5g!
3g for 500 ml is about right. The sugar cubes are normal table sugar.i used normal table sugar,is that too much?
