Brew Methods

Brew Methods are templates that store default brewing parameters and associated equipment, making it faster to log consistent brews.

Overview

A brew method template can include:

• Method name and description
• Default brewing parameters
• Associated equipment

When you select a method while logging a brew, these defaults pre-fill the form.

Creating a Method

1. Navigate to Methods
2. Tap the + button
3. Fill in the template:

Benefits of Using Methods

1. Consistency: Start each brew with proven parameters
2. Speed: Pre-fill common values instead of entering them each time
3. Equipment tracking: Automatically associate the right equipment
4. Experimentation: Create variations (e.g., “V60 Iced” vs “V60 Hot”) with different defaults
