Now, if you return to the calendar, you will note that the dates have changed, in this case the secondary date is now listed 1 week later instead of 3 days later. Once you save your new profile by clicking OK, you can return to the Fermentation tab on your Recipe screen and select the new aging profile.Ĭhoose the drop-down underneath the fermentation chart, and select your newly created profile.
Then, the profile window will come up and you can add in your choices for primary time, secondary time, aging, and temperatures. If you want to create your own profile, you should be able to choose “Add Ferm” from the top ribbon. Selecting any one will show the details in the reading pane beneath. You will see this screen come up, with a list of the available profiles. If you want to view details about the fermentation profiles, you need to navigate to the “Fermentation Profiles” under the Profiles menu in the left navigation bar. You can select a preset fermentation profile, or design your own.ĭouble-clicking on one of the preset profiles will select it for that recipe. So your next question is, what controls the timing of primary, secondary, bottling, etc.? That would be the “Fermentation” screen inside the Recipe. You should be able to find the newly entered recipe on the calendar. What you’ll see now is an overview of the entire month. Now you can select “Calendar” from the View menu in the left navigation area. In my example, I chose January 21st since I know I am going to brew on MLK Day! Choose a date using the drop-down on the right of the new recipe screen. The main thing we are interested in is setting up the calendar date for the brew day.
The purpose of this tutorial is to show you how to use it for planning your calendar. Don’t worry about the recipe or ingredients at this point. Go ahead and enter your next 1 or 2 brews you are planning. You will now have a clean folder to work with. The first thing we want to do is create a fresh new folder for 2013. So, if your screen looks differently than what is referenced, that is probably why.
