I am trying to make notations on my last brew and find Beersmith coming up way short on flexibility of recording the fermentation process. I am trying to note the temps and times my fermentation occurred. I would like to be able to record the exact process and timing things occurred during the fermentation process but find a lack of ways to notate this properly. The only notes on the fermentation tab refer to tasting notes.
Just an example of things I think could be notated as part of the fermentation cycle.
Pitched Yeast
Fermentation begins.
Temperature changed of fermentation chamber.
Racked to secondary
Dry hop additions
Oak additions
This schedule could be part of the design process in terms of planned racking, temp changes or additions, with google calendar or Ios calender exports or email reminders of planned events in the brew cycle.
Alternatively the fermentation page can have a time flow of changes. Click on a day and have a calender pop up, choose a day then add the event as it occured.
Date/time Pitched Yeast
Date/time Fermentation began
Date-raise ferm temps for D-rest.
Date-racked to secondary S.G. 1.015
Date- Dry hopped with DH addition #1
Date- Gelatin added Ferm chamber temp reduced to 40 degrees.
Date-transfer to keg (FG 1.012)
