The Fermentation Series · Vol. I

Homebrew Batch Tracker.

Grain to glass — Beer brewing journal and logbook.

Coming soon to Amazon

What's inside.

Fifty single-page batch entries — one beer, one spread. Each spread captures ingredients (grain bill, hops, yeast, water), the brew-day timeline (mash, boil, fermentation, packaging), and a dual tasting record: fresh, and again after conditioning. Every entry ends with a "next time" iteration line so the next batch starts with last batch's lessons.

The back matter is a six-section reference library: a yeast strain library, hop variety reference with AA% and substitutions, a beer style families chart, a water chemistry primer, troubleshooting against off-flavours, and a glossary that doesn't waste pages defining gravity or ABV.

Built for.

The diligent home brewer. Anyone who has run more than a handful of batches and started noticing that the answers to "what changed?" matter more than the answers to "what's a hydrometer?". Not for absolute beginners — the back matter assumes the reader knows the vocabulary.

Part of the Fermentation Series.

Vol. I in the five-volume Fermentation Series. The other volumes cover mead, wine, cider, and a cross-craft master journal. All five are structured around the same batch-spread pattern, so a fermenter working multiple crafts gets consistent tracking across them.
