programs to record each brew

[JoshP3]

[biggrin]Hi just wondering if some one could suggest a program to record all the info for my brew, perhaps workouit the alcohol and such thanks

Josh, I just use excel.

 

You don't need anything fancy. I have inserted a formula for calculating ABV% based on OG, FG plus bottling increment. I got it from the Coopers Booklet that came with the microbrew kit. I don't worry about ABV% much, a rough ballpark figure is fine with me.

 

I think it is (OG - FG)/7.36 + 0.5. Will have to check later though.

 

I set up a template in excel and just create a new tab for each brew. Then copy the template into that tab and its ready to go.

Sorry Hairy... I believe it is 7.46 not 7.36 and the + .5 is only if you are bottling. It does not apply to kegs with Co2 [rightful]

As Hairy said an excel spreadsheet is good too.

Sorry for leading you astray Josh.

 

I have checked my spreadsheet and it is 7.46. I didn't have my spreadsheet with me so I took a guess.

 

As I said before I'm not overly concerned about the alcohol content. You generally have a feel of it based on what you are putting in.

Another echo, must be a geek problem.
