thanks for that, its starting to make sense! i assumed it was due to too much water in, but then hitting the correct gravity is still confusing me but i will see what happens on the next brew (end of month)! cheers all!

Thanks to both! based on my last two, its around 5.5l per hour, strange though that the spread sheet i used had a default of 3.8l per hour, so i should've ended up with less not more beer?! I have found another spreadsheet http://pricelessbrewing.github.io/Metric which i will test out next...

thanks Ozarks, I am still baffled. The link works, but it doesn't give me a boil off rate, it just lets me enter specifics to my set up? The recipe builder also doesn't seem to calculate or let me tweak anything? New to this site, apart from following recipes, so excuse ignorance! I followed...

Nosybear, thanks for your reply. the gravity readings are fine throughout, its is just that the wort isnt evaporating as per the calculations i have got from a spreadsheet. so i end up with more beer (which is fine, apart from when you are fermenting in a demi john one time!!)

I hope this is a simple question due a relatively simple answer, as I am new to BIAB (3 so far) and not a scientist! I have followed a recipe, and then used an online calculator to work out grain bill and water needed. Although the last two times, i have roughly hit the OG stated in the recipe...

thanks both, i had seen that post and it still involves buying more equipment (not much, but still!) I only have a plastic keg, so no idea about adding gas to a specific measurement! I think i might just get a bottling bucket, i can get one for £11. Can I assume all is ok with using these?

I'll try and keep this a simple question, hoping for a simple answer (unlike ones found on initial research!) I am 5 brews in, so new and inexperienced I have bought a Little Bottler (Youngs), but only have a FV and a keg. Are there any issues with transferring to keg and using Little...
