Brewcipher mentioned in HBT article

(that's 3 cheers for vikeman)

 

Well deserved, I started my brewing adventures with this software and have relied on it ever since. Most importantly, big thank you to Vikeman for making brewcipher accessible and sharing it with us.

 

@BeerMaverick et al, thanks for the link and the props.

 

Here's the blurb from the review.

"Brewcipher is a free excel spreadsheet that acts as a recipe builder and brew day calculator. It comes with the main excel file (or open office spreadsheet) and instructions on how to get the most out of it. Multiple tabs within the file give different parameters, recipe inputs, water chemistry, a brew day printout and a tab to add any ingredients that don’t show up on the initial download.

To run Brewcipher, you must have Microsoft excel or Open Office. It’s not open source, but it is a collaborative effort with different people contributing to its various aspects. The developer said he created it “mainly because none of the other software programs or spreadsheets predicted attenuation, and thus final gravity, very well.” This app continues to evolve, based on ideas provided by its users."

Cheers!

 

As recipe editor of byo....i approve brewcipher as well. I have to use our in-house calculator on our recipes, but I use it a lot as a cross-reference for attenuation rates at times and for my own recipes. Definitely a nice program @VikeMan
