^^ Is why I still like to refer to this as a "community."

 

I had missed the v2.0 and 2.1 updates, so very stoked to see this. Thanks for the new updates.

I just downloaded v3,0 and on the Water tab, the sample water profiles don't seem to be working. When I click the dropdown to select one, there's a #N/A selected by default and then all of the other options are blank. Am I missing something or is that a bug?

 

Gotcha, didn't see the red upper corner in that cell and apparently hadn't hovered in it long enough for the popup. Thanks.

 

Any chance that you'll be making an addition to the water tab to allow for sparge water acidification calculations?

Thanks for all the work, really great stuff!

 

Yep, exactly that.

 

I owe Mr. beerdude some data regarding this math. As soon as my pH meter thaws out, I'll get on it.

 

Thanks to each of you!

The only other things I can think of as of now that would be helpful would be a pitching volume for slurry based on date harvested, and also starter pitching rates for slurry, also based on date harvested, perhaps with the ability to change the ratio of liquid to "solid" matter.

For the yeast starter from slurry calculation, here's what I mean: http://spontaneousfunk.blogspot.com/2013/12/calculating-cake-volume-for-starter.html

I did a crude calculation and have no idea how accurate it actually is, though it did produce a nice saison

Cheers!

 

Forgive my ignorance, but on the water tab, what's the unit of measure for water additions? Grams?

 

thanks!

 

Indeed, "g" is an abbreviation for grams.

 

Ha. Totally missed that. Thanks

 

Thank you Master !

 

Awesome man thanks .. I have been using this side by side with the brewersfriend.com and its a great reference.

 

Addendum to my 2014 agenda in another thread: play around with this spreadsheet.

 

Its cool man check it out ...

 

I've used this for a couple brewdays now and I love it. It beats the hell out of what I was using (Hopville/BrewToad) in almost every area. I have stumbled across a few features that I'd find pretty useful (not sure if any of these are planned, or have been discussed and discarded before):

1) A section on the Recipe tab for timed adjunct additions, specifically adjuncts that don't fall under the scope of fermentables. For example, coriander, chipotle peppers, grains of paradise, etc. I realize I can add them to the Hops Lookup tab and just set them to 0 AA%, but it would end up getting pretty cluttered over time.
2) Somewhere to enter actual OG and FG. It's easy enough to create a text file separate from the spreadsheet to store that sort of info, but I'd love to be able to stick it in the spreadsheet to eliminate the need to another file for each beer.
3) The ability to save user-defined water profile targets, similar to how we can add grains/hops/yeast. In the absence of an award winning water profile for a style, it would make it a bit easier to be able to add a custom target in there to assist in dialing in the mineral additions. Or lacking the ability for users to add them, add some of the classic water profiles to the saved list (the default list in Bru'n Water, for example) to use as basic guidelines.
