Getting There

Description & Overview

You can create as many brew-sheets as you want. You can associate a specific brew sheet with a specific recipe. If a recipe does not explicitly have a brew-sheet associated with it, then the default brew sheet is used. Check out this short video to see a tutorial on how to create and edit a new brew sheet, using each available design component.

Default Brew Sheet

The default Brew Sheet cannot be deleted. If there is a recipe that does not explicitly defines a brew-sheet, the default brew sheet is used.

Properties of a Brew Sheet

Your brew sheet is a collection of design components detailing your brews' progress, split into several sections. Design components can be dragged onto any section of your brewsheet. Design components and sections can be added/created, edited, and deleted as required.

Sections

They group the fields together in a brew sheet when using the brew sheet. When filling out your brewsheet after it has been created, you will be able to quickly jump to different sections of your brewsheet by clicking links at the top of the page.

Title	The unique name of the section
Identifier	Generally has the same as your section title. To auto-fill this field use the [tab] key after filling out your title.
Description	A brief description of this section. This will appear at the start of this section, below the title.

Using a Design Component

Design components will essentially becomes fields where you can input data on your brews. The design components allow you to create different types of fields for different uses. In order to use a design component, you first need to create a Section. Click 'Add Section', give your section a name, and optionally, a description, and click 'Update'. You can now begin to drag and drop components into your section.

Watch the short video above to learn about how to use each design component and see examples, or check out the table below for written descriptions.

Design Components

Text	The text design component can be used to record short form text-based information on your brew.
Notes	The notes design component can be used to record longer form information on your brew. You can format your notes using different fonts, bold, italics, and underlines. You can also use bullet points and numbered lists in the notes design component.
Number	The number design component is best suited for numeric values like temperatures, gravity levels etc.
Measured Quantity	The measured quantity design component can be used for specifying quantities of materials used, volume of water added etc.
Date Picker	The date picker design component allows you to record a date.
Time Picker	The time picker design component allows you to record a time.
Date & Time Picker	The date and time picker component allows you to record both a date and time.
Switch	The switch design component is well suited for information that may only have a value of yes or no.
Drop Down	The drop down design component is well suited for selecting one option out of a list. Drop down options are customizable. For example, you might create a 'chemical used' drop down field, where each option is a different chemical.
Formula	The formula design component can help you to automatically performs calculations based on information recorded elsewhere on your brewsheet. For example, you could calculate days or hours between certain activities, or monitor the average temperate of your boil based on temperatures recorded at different intervals.
Spacer	The spacer design component helps you control the layout of your brewsheet. You can place this component anywhere on your brewsheet where you would like to create empty space.
Static Text	The static text design component allows you to display custom text anywhere on your brewsheet, at all times. This could be used to display brewing instructions at specific points in your brewsheet. Static text can be set as body text, or a heading.
