New to the forum. Good to meet you all.
I have been brewing for about 6 months and am still working with Brewers Best and Craft-a-Brew kits to 'learn the trade'. My first 6-8 batches were perfect and could not wish for a better quality at this early stage and from kits. However recently I have had a couple of issues with bad beer. I had a seal that wasn't put on a catalyst correctly, and a bottling 'wand' that had a bad gasket and was leaking over my hand while filling. So I suspect these were the issue with contamination. So I want to note everything I do from start to finish so I can start tracking down where some of the issues are/have been. Is there a spreadsheet available that would allow me to do that. I am looking for basic information I can fill in such as:-
Beer Name
Brew Date
Type of Brew
Steeping Grain Temp
Boil Time
Type of Fermenter
Bottling Method
Beer Taste (good/bad)
Any Issues
etc etc etc
I can of course produce one, but it would save a little time if I have a template I can edit. I have seen many spreadsheets around for recipes, but I am not quite there yet until I hone down where some of these errors are coming from.
Thanks for reading.
