Hello all,
I'm looking for some information regarding Grains/adjuncts, hops and finally Yeast strains. I'm looking for a comprehensive list of most grains/adjuncts, hops and yeast strains and their effects, uses, etc. Basically what I'm trying to do is print this information off and have it in folders so I can better understand what malt, hops or yeast to use for a certain type of beer without having to just guess. I'm working on recipe formulation and I'm using one gallon batches to do it so I need to know what grains contribute what and the alpha and beta acids of hops and also what yeast strains will contribute what flavors and attenuation rate along with temps and souring characteristics within yeasts like lambic. Any information that is printable and pretty comprehensive would be awesome! Thanks for your time!
 
Checkout the 'wiki' area of this forum. There's some of the info. you're looking for there.
 
If you have , or decide down the road to get any brewing software such as Beersmith, Beer Alchemy, etc they have descriptions and colors of the different malts, flavor and AA% of hops, yeast strain attenuations and whatnot.

I would purchase the following books: Yeast, Hops, Water, and Malt. Great info in each, though I must admit much of it is over my technical abilities.
 
For recipe formulation Daniels: Designing Great Beers (DGB ) + good software like BeerSmith.

Printing is the work of the Devil. DGB is now available on Kindle as are many other excellent brew books.
 
Unfortunately, the nature of hops and yeast means that things change fairly frequently, there's always something new. Even hop varieties may have variations between different years of harvest. Your best bet is to refer to the manufacturer's website or an online list.
