Congrats on getting started on a very exciting hobby!

Why not brew the same beer your brewed the first time and tweak it a bit more to your taste? Congrats on your first batch too! :ban:

I'm working on an easy to use piece of software for tracking recipes and batches. You might find it helpful. http://www.ibrewlog.com.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone! I'll let you know when I've got more to show you.

Ya those automatic things are powerful. Does Beersmith track batches well enough for you so you can see trends over multiple batches on the same recipe?

Criticism can be a tough thing to take but I'm really grateful for everyone's feedback. Like I mentioned the point of the project was to start off by just having a place to write down your recipes and then track batches on those recipes with notes along the way. If you'd like to try it out...

Thank you for taking the time to look at the site. It's true that it is missing a lot of features that you find in programs like BeerSmith. The reason is it isn't there to create recipes. Other programs already do such a good job of that. The feel I'm going for is a very open system for...

My second batch. A basic IPA! Really good!

Hi All, I've been lurking around the site for quite some time and just a few months back decided to sign up for an account. I'm new to brewing in general and have found this site to be a great resource and now I want to give something back. As a new brewer I took a look at the selection of...

Ya not many people around here. I gave six 500ml bottles away and drank the rest :P

Well my first ever batch of beer is GONE! It took me about 5 weeks to drink a full 5 gallons. The good news is that I've got another 5 gallons that's about a week away from being ready to bottle. How long does it take you to drink a full batch?

Hi All, I am hoping to get a feeling of what the minimum you like to track in your log book. On one end of the spectrum you could just track OG, FG, ABV, Ingredients, and Steps. On the other end you could track everything under the sun like BeerSmith allows you to do. I'm personally...

Airborneguy what if you had the best of both worlds. Online storage that made it easy to share with friends but also the ability to export to excel for your local computer? I mean worst case scenario is you store them online but print off hard copies for your own binder. What do you think?

Ok. Thanks for all the great replies. I'm going to take a crack and writing an online brew log which I think everyone will like. The only person that may not like it is the wife :P She wonders how I can write software all day at work and then still come home and code even more! Anyways if...

SouthBay and Veritas524 Is there anything about Hopsville that you think can be improved on?

I think Beersmith looks pretty good however I think fpweeks hit the nail on the head. Why not have a platform where you can access it from anywhere (aka online)?

By the way for anyone interested in pictures of the process I wrote up a blog post. Some how my software development blog is turning into a brew blog :P http://blog.nositesleft.com/2012/04/beer-brewing-take-2.html

Ya I think the subscription may be hard to swallow as well. So lets look at it without any money on the table. What if it were free? I'm hoping to get a few people that would be interested to let me know so I can bounce ideas off of them.

I'd be really interested in hearing about how that turned out.

No interest at all in a clean easy to use online brew log book?
