OK, so I am getting into the all grain brewing process, and I am trying to learn about the formulas for water, yeast, gravity, efficiency etc... This is overwhelming, as I am not at all a math expert....

Is there a webpage, or software program that can help make this process a little less confusing, or help organize my thoughts before I actually try my first all grain?

Thanks! :mug:

Find a tested recipe and brew it. Read, or reread the important chapters in How to Brew or Papazian's book. And just brew. Don't worry about the calculations for amounts, efficiencies or what ever. Just do the strike water temp, water to grain ratio and brew it up.

If you want a tested recipe try Beer Dujour or the Beer Contest Recipe Database.

I use Beersmith, and it comes with a free trial!

i use the free version of promash for things like water temperature and volume calculations.

i use the free online beertools.com for recipe generation, and their recipe database.

Also read www.howtobrew.com if you haven't already.

If you're a Mac user, you may want to try Beer Alchemy. Once you decide to brew a certain recipe, you can print out step-by-step instructions.

I also use beertools.com and I like "The Beer Recipator" as well. You can find it @
http://hbd.org/recipator/. These both offer free versions but you can upgrade to more features for a price.

Cheers

Beersmith here as well, makes brewing life a little more easy.
