As reported in other suggestions, there needs to be a good way to record your brew day notes.
There should be a brew_day tab in the recipe when you copy into your Brew Log and it should be flexible enough to enter various information/fields and notes - and just as important in my opinion, you then need to be able to report on this across your different Brew Log recipes and be able to view reports by efficiency across time or group by OG or whatever.
No point in having notes fields etc if you can't get the data out easily and allow users to view it.
The sort of information I'd like to be able to enter in a Brew Day tab (and be able to report on it) is as per below, at the moment I just put it in my notes field but I can't get at it across multiple brews to see the information, this was my last brew day:
Brew Day Notes:
Initial:
Volume in Kettle = 14.10L
Added grain of 2.22Kg, Volume in Kettle now = 16.0L
Mash:
Mashed at 67 for 70mins. Gravity = 1.046
Pre Boil volume = 13.2L
Collected 400ml for Yeast Starter
Overshot gravity, diluted with 1 L of water to get gravity = 1.043
Skimmed off 200ml of gunk as coming up to boil
Pre Boil Volume now = 14.0 L
Boil:
Boiled for 60mins
Volume at end of boil (@ 100C) = 11.1 L
OG = 1.056
Overshot gravity, diluted with 500mL of water to get gravity = 1.054
Volume at end of boil now = 11.6 L
Evaporation = 14.0 - 11.1 = 2.9L
Fermenter:
Volume of ambient wort = 10.7 L, ie, cooling shrinkage = 0.4 L
Kettle Trub Loss = 2.0 L
Volume into Fermenter = 8.7 L
Fermenter loss = 1.7 L
Volume into Packaging = 7 L
