i have a big A4 notebook from when i started.
the first spirit run filled up 2 x A4 pages, recording everything like boiler temp,column temp (pre & post deflag) output temp, power settings, output rate and ABV of every 250ml jar etc etc.
now it's just 6 lines, and 4 of them are for tasting notes :smile:
it was a good learning curve to record everything and reference it, even though it amuses me now.
i still record every brew, but it's usually just the name, date and "usual MO".
a new recipe will still take up a whole A4 page as i list the ingredients, method and settings and make notes on what went right & wrong (usually wrong).
but there's always something new to record, a new page is the amount of citric acid per litre to change the PH, probably brought on by the need to have precise PH using enzymes.
PS don't spill 250ml of 80%ABV product on the book, don't ask me how i know :roll:
