The recipe design tool is the central area for building new beer recipes. It is intended to allow you to quickly select a set of ingredients and see instantly how it affects your beer. You can perform all of the steps to build your recipe from this single tab. The other tabs (Pied de Cuve, mash details, fermentation) are used to detail and record your brewing process - but the recipe design takes place here.
Recipe design can be a complex process. For details on making better recipes, see the articles referred to below. For the basics, follow the process shown below.

See Profils de Brassage for more details on available profiles. |
