2.4

October 1, 2013

** Version 2.4 is a critical update fixing a crash issue for iOS 6 iPhone and iPod Touch users** • Fixed crash when selecting ingredients from preset list • Icon gloss removed for iOS 6 • Some minor layout adjustments ** New in Version 2.3 ** • Updated for iOS 7 with a refreshed look. Those on iOS 6 won't be left out either, as the new design is compatible with iOS6 as well. • Interface has seen some adjustments (and some buttons have been moved, see below). Functionality remains the same as before. • Several bugs fixed (including an SRM calculation error) • Significant under-the-hood improvement. A big thanks to everyone who has sent in bugs, comments, and suggestions! Please update your reviews if you have the chance! Take note of the following changes: • The "Logbooks" button has been removed, simply tap the logbook name to open the logbook view. • The Malt/Hops/Notes tab buttons have been removed. Malts, Hops, and Notes are now accessed in a similar manner to yeast and mash rests as a cell in the recipe summary. • "Add a malt/hop/yeast" buttons have been moved to the top right of the screen from the bottom right. If you run into any issues or find any unexpected quirks, send an email. The transition to iOS 7 involved a lot of re-tooling, so inevitably there are going to be some quirks! Cheers & Happy Brewing, Mark

** Bug Alert - App may crash when selecting ingredients from lists. iPhone/iPod Touch users running iOS 6 are experiencing a crash when selecting a malt/hop/yeast/mash rest from the list of presets. iPad does not appear to be affected by this bug. If you experience this crash (the app will simply close unexpectedly), please add your ingredients manually until the next update which should come very soon! ** • Updated for iOS 7 with a refreshed look.

2.01

June 20, 2013

Version 2.01 fixes a few bugs and introduces the new app icon! Version 2.00 is a huge update, check out what is new: • Mash Rest & Sparge calculations! Determine temperatures and volumes for a mash of any complexity. (Including calculations for Infusion & Decoction). Enter your own mash rest details or select from a typical mash rest. • Create logbooks to manage, organize, and archive your recipes. • Clone your existing recipes so you can brew it again! • App function descriptions, instructions, and tips have replaced blank white screens! • You can now SEARCH lists of hops, grains, and yeast. • Integration of US/Metric units has been reworked under the hood. You can now change recipes from US to Metric and vice versa. • Significantly improved user experience for user entered text fields. • Default settings now have extensive system & mash settings • Brew dates have been renamed to "Fermentation Stages & Dates" and now have a notes field so you can record more in-depth information. • You can now have more than one yeast strand in your recipe. You will be responsible for adjusting the anticipated attenuation manually. • There is now a Boil Time field for each recipe. Your old recipes will be updated with a boil time equal to your first hop addition or 60 minutes, whichever is higher. • A Boil Volume setting has been added to account for partial boils. IBU calculations for partial boil extract brewers will now be more accurate. • Many minor bugs have been fixed. • Tutorial videos have been added to share tips and tricks on maximizing your Brew Log experience. • • • Important Information Regarding In-App Purchases • • • Unfortunately, it has become apparent that continuing development is not feasible with a completely free product. After long deliberation on how to proceed I have decided to keep the app free without any limitations on the core functions. Brew Log now has a limitation on the number of recipes you can store on your device. If you are updating from Brew Log version 1, your existing recipes will not count against your limitation. All users will get 5 empty recipe slots. There is no other limitation on any functions. The free slots are the exact same as paid recipe slots. Brew Log's In-App Purchases are tied to your iTunes account and are permanent. Your purchases on one device will be shared on all your devices. You can refresh to restore your purchases at any time. Increases of +10 and +25 slots are available for a very low purchase price (one or two bucks respectively, or your region's equivalent!). You can also remove the limitation entirely for the same price as a beer at a pub. If you reach your maximum recipe limit, you will have to either delete existing recipes (I recommend exporting via Email first!) or purchase an upgrade before adding a new recipe or cloning an existing recipe. I hope you will be understand that this was a difficult decision to make and greatly appreciate your support. As always, I highly encourage you to email any bugs, suggestions, or comments you may have! Lastly, if you are enjoying Brew Log, please consider supporting it by leaving a positive review on the App Store. Every rating and review is a big help! Cheers and Happy Brewing!

Description of Fermenticus Brew Log

Fermenticus Brew Log is a logbook, calculator, and recipe formulator for homebrewers and small craft brewers alike. • Optimized for both iPhone & iPad. • Clean design - You can quickly input your ingredients and measurements, automatically perform important calculations, and concentrate on the brewing instead of the software! • Suitable for any level of expertise - Brew Log will handle all your extract, steeped grain, partial mash, or all-grain recipes. • Ingredients database - Add your own ingredients or select from lists of common malts, extracts, adjuncts, hops, and commercially available yeasts. • Save your recipes - Recipes are stored on your device for quick access at any time. You can also export your recipes via email in a convenient table format that can be pasted into any spreadsheet or printed out for brew day reference. • Organize your recipes - Sort your recipes with logbooks for organizing and archiving. • As you add grains or hops Brew Log instantly updates estimated gravity, color, and bitterness. Great for building recipes on the go. • Mash Rest & Sparge calculations for simple to complex mashes. Calculates volumes and temperatures for your strike water, infusions, and decoctions. • Built in calculators to determine original and final gravity, alcohol (ABV), bitterness (IBU), color (SRM), efficiency, attenuation, and more. • Choose a standard beer style or make up your own. • Designed to be an efficient brewing companion for quick logging during your brew day (“Do more with fewer clicks”). • US & Metric simultaneously supported. You can combine both US and metric units in your malt bill or hop bill. Recipes can also be converted from US to Metric and vice versa. • Unique date handling, so you can add dates with information about the date. Useful for logging information during fermentation or bottling! • Once you make your own measurement Brew Log will let you know your actual brew-house efficiency (for all-grain) and actual yeast attenuation. • Save your default settings such as typical batch size and if you brew extract/all-grain/steeped. Of course, this information can always be set on a recipe by recipe basis. ••• Important Information Regarding In-App Purchases ••• Brew Log has a limitation on the number of recipes you can store on your device. All users will get 5 empty recipe slots. There is no other limitation on any functions. The free slots are the exact same as paid recipe slots. Brew Log's In-App Purchases are tied to your iTunes account and are permanent. Your purchases on one device will be shared on all your devices. You can refresh to restore your purchases at any time. Upgrades of +10, +25, and unlimited slots are available for less than a beer at the pub. If you reach your maximum recipe limit, you will have to either delete existing recipes (I recommend exporting via Email first!) or purchase an upgrade before adding a new recipe or cloning an existing recipe. Cheers and Happy Brewing!

Reviews of Fermenticus Brew Log

  • Awesome app

    Best designed app I have seen for recipe keeping and brew tracking. Huge ingredient list. Easy to use interface. Numbers are spot on. Makes brew day a breeze.
  • Great app

    I’ve used both brewlog and BeerSmith and I will keep with brewlog because it is easier to follow and you can export and print your recipes. In the app there is a log that is continuous and allows me to make notes. Thanks for the updates
