Brew Log

Awesome stuff. Keep em coming

I made a simple spreadsheet to balance out the grain/hops and use that as a log. I can change a recipe and re-balance so I don't end up with un-needed grains. This summer schedule is mostly wheat based for 2 week grain to glass. More hops equals more aging.

I use a spreadsheet I got from beer and BBQ by Larry on YouTube. Dude is an engineer and his spreadsheet is amazing. Calculates absolutely everything plus he has a tutorial for it on youtube

I have a binder that I need to organize. Maybe tonight... My plan is to have tabs for different brews. Right now it is a mess of things binded, other things in side pockets and loose paper of varying sizes. Most everything is dated. For brewday I have a template that stays the same besides ingredients, mash temp, etc.

I probably should make a spreadsheet and inventory everything.

I use the brew log sheets that I originally created with the intentions of have a bound book created, until I saw the price.

I just print them and put them n a binder now.

Dropbox link is in my sig if anyone wants to use them.

Thanks. I have an updated version due to be released this week along with a YouTube video update.

I use Brewers Friend to create the recipes, but I keep a running log using Open Office word. I type a heck of a lot better than I write (yes I do make some long-winded posts here) and I think better typing than writing. I started out using the memo app on my galaxy tablet but there's a word limit...so now it's the laptop. I keep it in the garage anyway because that's where my mama chair is with my tunes and only steps away from the kegerator.

I used to use a small journal to track my notes, but over the years have switched to a custom Word template I made. It seems to work well capturing all of the vitals I use.

Not strictly what the OP was looking for, but I just keep everything in Brewsmith. If I do a recipe more than once I just cut and paste a copy of it. I keep all the recipes in chronological order.

I started with Beer Tools, now I'm transitioning to beersmith. I print recipes from both. I have a brew day log that I made up. Section for starter, and then the steps with gravity readings, ph, amount of water for strike and Sparge. Then I also have a fermentation log. My recipes are stored on Dropbox as a native Beertools file and also as a PDF that I can access anywhere.

I like Beersmith for the ease of access with Beersmith app on ipad or phone.

So each brewday has about 3 pages.

It's fun to look back on the history of your own brewing.
