Brewing Journal Index
Information Available in the Journals
The Brewing Journals are a great way to follow the brewing process from start to finish, using some practical examples. These journals document a step by step account of the whole brew day and beyond, together with Recipes and Final Tasting Notes. Water treatment is also documented, together with the relevant measurements for my local water.
If you are thinking about starting "All Grain" brewing but have been put off by the amount of information on the processes involved, read through the fully Illustrated Summer Lightning Journal to see how easy it can be.
