(This is a continuation of the original post with updated links - HBT won't let me revise the original).
Hey All,
Im not exactly sure what got me started on this, but Ive been leisurely building a series of charts displaying the BCJP beer styles and their parameters. Maybe Im just a visual learner, but by seeing everything laid out in such a way, I appreciated some of the styles a bit better.
After a little prodding from my brother, I decided to post the charts out there for anyone to look at or reference. As such, I wanted to post some links to them here in the hopes that I can get some feedback on them. Anyone find them useful? Is there anything detracting? Anyway to make them better or improve the charts?
BJCP Beer Style Visual Reference Charts:
After I finished the BJCP Style Charts, I felt the urge to keep at it, so I built visual charts for commercial yeast strains (both White Labs and Wyeast). This visual displays how each of the strains perform relative to another, which can help when selecting between a few different strains.
White Labs Yeast Visual Reference Charts:
Wyeast Labs Yeast Visual Reference Charts:
Please let me know if you have any thoughts or feedback on this pet project of mine. You can either leave comments here, or preferentially on the pages linked above (as its a lot easier for me to keep the feedback sorted that way). Additionally, assuming I keep at this, are there any other visual chart topics I might be able to tackle?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Slainte!

BJCP Beer Style Visual Reference Charts:
- SRM Color Ranges by Style
- IBU Bitterness Ranges by Style
- OG and FG Ranges by Style
- Alcohol by Volume Ranges by Style
- "Apparent" Bitterness (IBU/OG) Ranges by Style
