Just posted this over in /r/homebrewing, but thought it belonged here too.

So in typical fashion, I started looking into making my own BIAB bag as soon as I ordered one online. (Shout-out to biab-brewing.com - great bags, hands down best prices on custom BIAB bags for Canadian brewers.) After a bit of poking around various forums, it looked like there are two main designs out there: tapered pillow case (simple) and truncated cone (slightly less simple). I saw another spreadsheet to calculate measurements for both designs given one's kettle dimensions (don't remember where, sorry) but thought the spreadsheet could use some redesign/cleaning up.
Link: BIAB Bag Design Tool (Hosted on Google Drive, but needs to be opened in Excel to display properly)
Hopefully this spreadsheet can help someone else on their journey to all-grain brewing. Happy brewing/DIYing!
