Beersmith brewlog/taste rating features

[grathan]

Any of you brewers use Beersmith's Brew Log feature and then rate your creations with the Taste Rating?

It's pretty awesome looking back over a couple years being able to sort every brew by taste rating. I don't remember drinking some of them, but apparently they were pretty awesome and need to be brewed again!

I don't use the rating feature, but do put my tasting notes in the dialog box provided. I also use the brew log feature to track brews. I can copy over the recipes that I want to brew for a season and get them on the calendar for reference. Then, once brewed, I move them into a sub-folder labeled 'fermenting'. Once done and bottled, the recipe gets moved into another sub-folder of the brew log for finished brews for that year. I found by keeping the folders in the brew log folder the recipes still appear in the calendar, so I can use that to reference back in time on the order of brewing.
