Here's where I am;
I've made about 10 batches, extract and steeping grains, partial boil. I have taken thorough notes on the recipies for each, the expected OG and FG, actual OG and FG, yeast strain, hops schedule, ETC. and tasting impressions after 4,6,and 8 weeks in the bottle (for those thst lasted that long) A few of the results were quite pleasant, but more than not " left something to be desired" I'd like to take the info I have and somehow compile it into a tool I can use to predict what I will like. I can run Mr Malty and add IBU to the other info, but I'm not sure if I will have something that is useful. I'd like to get to the point where I can look at a recipie and make initial adjustments to suit my personal preferences, rather than just"brew as is" and grind through a batch that's not my favorite. Is there any benefit to what I am looking for, or is it better to just pick a style and experiment until I get a recipe I like, then file it away in the vault and move on to another style? of the 10 batches I've made, 1 I would not touch, and 1 is a rebrew with adjustments that still isn't where I want it.
