This journal allows the homebrewer to log up to 50 different beer recipes & also provides valuable references on grain profiles, yeast profiles, hop profiles, pitch rates, mash steps, beer style profiles & more! This valuable brew day recipe log has been created by a homebrewer, for homebrewers! Every homebrewer knows that logging the details of a recipe & brew day is key to creating a quality beer, that is repeatable next time around. While electronic programs provide homebrewers with great recipe creating resources, they don’t always replace the convenience & accessibility good old pen & paper. Let’s face it, we don’t all have computers in our garage, backyard, basement or wherever else one brews.

The recipe logs are suitable for all-grain & extract brewers alike. The fill in the blank format is laid out in a brewer friendly format & the spaces are large enough to fit regular handwriting. Unlike many other journals, this journal addresses every point of detail that a brewer would want to track; nothing is left off & there is plenty of room for writing all your specifics & related notes.

Each recipe log includes space for the following information:
– Beer/ Recipe Name
– Beer Style
– Batch Size
– Batch Type
– Total Water
– Boil Time
– Est. Efficiency
– Est. ABV
– Target Original & Final Gravities
– Color/ SRM & IBUs
– Grain/ Extract List (weights, type, lovibond & % of bill)
– Mash Process (steps, temperature & time)
– Boil Process ( weights, hop/ ingredient additions, AAs, IBUs & time)
– Gravity & Volume Readings (pre-boil, post-boil, bottling/kegging)

– Fermentation ( dates, steps, temperatures, additions & time)
– Kegging/ Bottling (volume, dates, carbonation)
