Hairy Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 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.

Guest Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 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] Home Brew Log As Hairy said an excel spreadsheet is good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
