![]() What Did You Learn This Month? (4th Wed.) Brewing Tools/Information Tu: Tuesday Recipe Critique and Formulation!įri: Free-For-All Friday! Monthly Threads Vendors/Potential Vendors, read this before posting Daily Threads ![]() Hope that makes sense.Welcome those of the fermentation persuasion!īefore making a post, read our posting guidelines Keep in mind, that each recipe is a wholely contained recipe, is a static point in time with regards to profiles, settings, this way you know exactly what occurred on brew day even though you might have changed your equipment profile since then, you wouldn't want changes to affect brews you did in the past. You will find the mobile versions are missing a few key things like a brew log/calendar, a couple tools like Hop Age so I can't do away with my PC version. But again, this is me and how I use the software.Īll recipe designing happens on my PC in a recipe folder, only brews that I have completed go into my brew log I don't store much on my phone/iPad long term. Once brew day is done, I copy it back to my brew log where it becomes a permanent record. I personally only put something into the cloud to 1) buy ingredients at the local shop. Keeping track of recipes between phone, tablet, computer is tricky, develop a process and try to stick with it. I don't use the batch feature, I just use the brew data and then sort my brew log by the date column so I know what was brewed in date order New to BS or old to BS, we all deal with many of the same issues you have already experienced.īS does not keep a log of brew day activities, that is up to you in the brew day fields/notes I ended up exporting them and running a diff on the exports to check for and identify differences. I seem to easily end up with recipes having the same name with no easy way to compare them. I'm also finding it a bit painful to keep track of and distinguish between local and cloud versions of recipes. It would be nice to have this all in BeerSmith. I did keep a paper log of the steps I took, the times things were done, temperatures observed, and so forth. I see references to a brew log in earlier versions, but I'm not finding anything obvious in the current version.Ĭoncept-wise, it would be really nice to have recipes be recipes only, then be able to hit a "Brew" button and have BeerSmith create a "Batch" or a "Brew" to log the details of a brewing session. Perhaps there is a better way to log a brew in BeerSmith. But it does not seem that this is the case. Initially it looked like this might have happened because I could see the "time to next step" still showing in the timer tab on the iPad. I guess I assumed it would keep a log of the brew process events, eg the times when I hit go, pause, OK and such, so that I'd have a history of this batch's execution. I used the timer function on the iPad to run my brew process yesterday evening. I copied Batch 0001 - Steve's IPA to the cloud and successfully downloaded it to the iPad version of BeerSmith. I wanted to brew a batch of Steve's IPA, so I copy/pasted and renamed the duplicate to "Batch 0001 - Steve's IPA". I created a recipe (let's call it Steve's IPA) on BeerSmith (Mac Desktop). I could use a little help with BeerSmith concepts / proper use. Hi! New user and new brewer (first batch made it into the fermentor last night)
