Haven't seen this specifically addressed before anywhere, figured AG would be the best place to put it, to get the widest response.
I figure this may help some of us try to get better organized, as we all want to keep good records, but as it's a secondary type of task, it probably doesn't get the attention it deserves.
How do you keep track of brew info, such as exact ingredients used, temps and times, pre-, post- and final G's, flavors, smells, incidents, remedies, etc.?
As in do you just use a spiral wound notepad, legal pads, odd pieces of cardboard or envelopes torn and flattened, ink on the back of your hand, odd scraps of paper laying all about but then dutifully transfered into Word documents and saved in a 'Brewing Files' folder in Windows like a monk 'wing it' and commit it to memory, read the stains on your clothes, ..............just how do you manage to keep accurate, complete, ORGANIZED info, that can accessed easily and quickly later on?
