Version History:
<2.0 Various updates not tracked.
2.0: Revamped to add Metric units ability, pulldown and cascading menus, data validation in important cells, lists for
grain/sugar/hops/yeast ingredients, combined the Mash Calcs tab with the Brewhouse tab, predict FG, calculate actual IBUs co
predicted, AAU columns, expected and actual attenuation, expected ABV, improved descriptions of some parameters and other
improved readability, and added a refractometer section. Updated for Office 2010. (some functions do not work on Office 2007 o
Added BJCP category and style.
2.0.1 - Fixed issue with first row of Grain List (acidulated malt) causing #NA errors. Added empty first row as workaround.
2.0.2 - Changed website information
2.0.3 - Added many missing Yeast Attenuation values and some new yeast strains. Added Best Malz Red X grain.
2.0.4 - Added more Fermentis yeast information.
2.1 - Adjusted calcs for splitting sparge steps. Update yeast fermentation range to display current temperature units, fixed lallem
yeast temp ranges. Added manual input for grain absorption ration. Rearranged Brewhouse Setup & Calcs tab. Adjusted Brix F
per www.seanterrill.com and added an adjustable Wort Correction Factor to the brewhouse set up tab. Corrected error in Strike
Temp calc for Metric units.
2.2 - Added SRM calculation to estimate color.
- Updated Grain List and recalculated PPGs with corrected values from malt analysis sheets. (Apparently the grain list that I cop
somewhere online had incorrect or very generic PPG values for many grains. Using the formula at the previous link and using
analysis sheets from the malter's websites, I have updated the PPG values for the grains. They should now be more accurate.
NOTE: This may change your calculated extract efficiency from previous batches, so beware and be careful. Mine chan
from 72% to 80% which makes me feel a whole lot better about my process.
- Added keg carbonation section to Recipe Sheet.Renamed 'Priming' tab to 'Carbonation' tab to account for forced carbonation.
- Added new grains/malts.
- Added new Malt Sheet PPG Calcs Tab to help determine PG from malt analysis sheets.
2.2.1 - Fixed value in Hops tab for U calc when determining U from a row tagged as 'FWH'. No effect if on the first row where it
- Added 2-row Brewer's malt (Rahr) on Grain & Sugar List
- Added sucrose formula to Common Variables tab
- Added secondary US Gallon fields.
- Reformated Brewhouse Setup & Calcs to be more in order of actual brew day steps. Added Total Water Req'd calculation.
- Added Imperial yeast strains.
- Added Rahr 6-row malt.
- Added Hop Stand and 2 min as options on Hop Calcs tab. NOTE: No IBUs for Hop Stands are calculated; only the boil additio
to add hop stand IBU calcs in a future update.
- Added rice hulls to grain list.
2.2.2 - Fixed missing selection of first 5 rows in Grain List.
- Estimated Weyermann Acidulated Malt extract value from other acidulated malt value due to lack of information from Weyerma
