Hey all,
I decided to create a modified Brewsheet, based on the original one, with a few extra add-ons.
My first objective was to be able to get it printable on only one sheet. I've achieved that by deleting some of the features on the Brewsheet that I find useless (most notably I deleted the Fermentation section, as most brewers would have easy access to their Beersmith when they require that kind of information).
I would not necessarily recommend this to new brewers, since I have deleted some of the useful information, though some of it I find redundant (e.g. "Clean and prepare brewing equipment").
Where possible I've optimized spacing, so things such as Volumes and Gravity readings are now on one line (though well separated so that they are easy and quick to distinguish).
Last of all, in the first part of the sheet, where there's such information as the Brewer's name and the date, etc. I've also added the following information, which gives you a quick overview of your beer (this comes foremost from the fact that I often brew with a friend and we ask each other such questions as "How bitter is your beer" to which the reply is often "Uuuuh, let me just add up all the IBUs of my additions quickly..."): Calories, Est ABV, Est Color, Bitterness and Bitterness ratio.
For a simple-ish recipe, by simply expanding the default area onto which BeerSmith prints, I've succeeded in getting all of this to print onto one page.
I've attached the file as a PDF (can't upload a .HTM)
To install, do the following:
Copy the file to "Documents/BeerSmith2/Reports" and replace the file extension to ".htm"
Add the report type by going to Tools - Options - Reports, Add Report, then select the name you want, select HTML and the filename (SimpleBrewsheet - Copy.htm)
To use, in BeerSmith, when you are in the "My Recipes" view, in the bottom half you can select the Report type you want. Simply pick the name that you gave to the new Report.
