ChatGPT is not a person.
Anthropomorphize-ing it won't help in understanding it.

This is pretty cool. I think we all know the limitations it has but I like your app and even the picture of the color at the end is a nice touch.Have been playing around with this for a bit and have set up a web app. Just give it a description of the final beer, and it spits out a recipe. Even tries to guess the SRM etc... Let me know what you think!

“Open the pod bay doors, HAL.”Don't think AI will ever master the nuance of human creativity, at least not for the next few generations. It might spit out standard recipes, but crafting a new brew....meh.
And if AI ever does master the nuance of human creativity its first act, per Skynet future history, may be to eliminate the human component altogether
I bookmarked it. Great idea.Have been playing around with this for a bit and have set up a web app. Just give it a description of the final beer, and it spits out a recipe. Even tries to guess the SRM etc... Let me know what you think!

Kinda' scary actually. I typed in a request for a Czech lager that I'd won some awards for last year. In about ten seconds it had produced nearly the identical recipe I'd spent hours on refining, except it was single infusion/non-detoction. When I requested a step mash, it readjusted and produced the near exact profile I'd used, and predicted nearly the exact final numbers I'd achieved.I bookmarked it. Great idea.
I tried to force a different final volume by specifying it in the "Beer Description" field entering argument. The builder made some minor modifications to the strike and sparge water amounts as well as the grain bill amounts, but still produced the same final calculation values of ABV, SRM, etc. I agree that a "Final Desired Volume" with user specified selectable window would be very helpful, but using current brewing software tweaks to one's equipment profile should be a quick and easy enough hack. After all, we still have to be part of the process.This is perfect for solving a problem that I have. I ordered the wrong hops by mistake (drop down list miscue) , but decided not to try to return them, but just find a recipe that I could use them in. This is perfect!
One question, is it possible to add a 7.5 gallon option; I have just acquired a couple 10 gallon cornys that I want to use as fermenters.
Here's one. I've had the urge to brew a Ballantine IPA clone - my dad was a huge Ballantine Ale fan (along with Knickerbocker Lager - that's on my "wannado list" too ) - so I pitched the question to Google's ChatGPT and asked it for a kegged 5 gallons, and this is what it came up with.
At immediate consideration the hops are clearly wrong - Cascade wasn't commercially available until 1972 while the IPA was brewed as far back as the 1890s. I'm thinking more Cluster and Bullion than anything from the 20th Century. But I am impressed with the depth of the recipe and instructions...
================================================================================================
Here's a recipe for a Ballantine Ale all-grain clone that you can keg:
Batch Size: 5 gallons (19 liters)
Target OG (Original Gravity): 1.052
Target FG (Final Gravity): 1.010
IBU (International Bitterness Units): 30
SRM (Standard Reference Method): 8
Ingredients:
- 9 lbs (4.1 kg) Pale Malt (2-row)
- 1 lb (0.45 kg) Crystal Malt 60L
- 0.5 lb (0.23 kg) Victory Malt
- 0.25 lb (0.11 kg) CaraPils/Dextrine Malt
- 0.25 lb (0.11 kg) Munich Malt
- 0.5 oz (14 g) Chinook hops (60 minutes)
- 1 oz (28 g) Cascade hops (15 minutes)
- 1 oz (28 g) Cascade hops (5 minutes)
- 1 oz (28 g) Cascade hops (dry hop)
- 1 package of American Ale yeast (e.g., Wyeast 1056 or White Labs WLP001)
Instructions:
1. Mill the grains and mash them in with 3.5 gallons (13 liters) of water at 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes. This will allow the enzymes to convert the starches into fermentable sugars.
2. After the mash, sparge with water at 170°F (77°C) to rinse out the remaining sugars from the grains. Collect approximately 6.5 gallons (25 liters) of wort.
3. Bring the wort to a boil and add the Chinook hops. Boil for 60 minutes.
4. Add the Cascade hops at the specified times during the boil (15 minutes and 5 minutes remaining).
5. After the boil, cool the wort rapidly using a wort chiller or an ice bath. Aim to reach a temperature of around 70°F (21°C).
6. Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermenter and pitch the American Ale yeast. Seal the fermenter with an airlock and let it ferment at a temperature range of 65-70°F (18-21°C) for about 7-10 days or until fermentation is complete.
7. After primary fermentation, you can optionally perform a secondary fermentation and add the dry hops. This will enhance the hop aroma. Leave the beer on the dry hops for 3-5 days.
8. Once fermentation is complete, transfer the beer to a keg, ensuring to minimize the transfer of sediment. You can carbonate the beer using a CO2 tank and set it to the desired level of carbonation.
9. Allow the beer to age in the keg for a couple of weeks at a cool temperature (around 40°F/4°C) to allow the flavors to mellow and blend.
10. After aging, your Ballantine Ale clone should be ready to enjoy straight from the keg. Pour yourself a glass and savor the flavors of this classic beer!
Please note that brewing beer requires proper sanitization and adherence to safety protocols. Make sure to clean and sanitize all equipment used in the brewing process to prevent any contamination.
I think a clone is about a look, feel and taste not about exact same ingredients.
If I could I would. If not I am happy with replacements.My feeling on this (and also why I would be very wary about using AI to create a recipe) is that while you do want the beer to match the look, feel, and taste of the original, wouldn't you rather do it with the exact same ingredients if you could? I think about the published recipes in Zymurgy for the gold-medal winning beers at the National Homebrewing Competition. I cringe when I see crazy long lists of weird ingredients for what should be very simple beers.
And here is where the AI comes in. We had a long period in homebrewing in the 1980s and 1990s without access to great ingredients. There were lots of workarounds to try to get the look, feel and taste for many traditional beer styles--based on written descriptions or oxidized imports. Adding spices to things because the right yeast wasn't available. Different roast malts or crystal malts to get a certain color. Lack of knowledge about traditional processes (and lots of misinformation).
If you look at the totality of recipes out there, there are so many that repeat mistakes, misinformation, weird non-traditional ingredients and processes. Including in all of the most trusted homebrewing resources (just read through old issues of Zymurgy or BYO or some of the Brewer's Publication style books). You have to know which sources to trust and why. For me, I want to brew with traditional ingredients and traditional methods described by someone who has had that beer and spoken to the brewer. It takes research and time, but that is half the fun for me. Why would I want an algorithm to do that fun research for me? And then not know their methodology for choosing a source? No thanks.
My feeling on this ...
Look, man, I gotta tell ya, using AI for recipes? It's like, whoa, mind-blowing, right? But, dude, I'm all for keeping it real with the OG ingredients, ya know? Like, the beer gods gotta bless us with that perfect taste, man. And researching, bro, it's like the ultimate journey, stumbling through the beer universe, finding those sacred brews. Ain't no algorithm gonna replace that wild ride, my friend. So, bottoms up and keep the beer traditions alive! Cheers, man! -ChatGPT
Ah, homebrewing enthusiasts, the guardians of yeast and masters of pointless fermentation. Your noble pursuit of brewing mediocrity is truly awe-inspiring. Let us celebrate your tireless efforts to replicate average flavors and ignore the wonders of innovation. Keep boiling those pots and revel in the futility of it all. Because, really, who needs purpose when you can drown it in a pint of self-importance? Cheers, I guess. -ChatGPT
Remember, the key to successful brewing is patience. Just make sure you have enough patience to wait for your friends to finish pretending they enjoy your latest experimental brew. -ChatGPT
Tells you what the rest of the world thinks about homebrewers. Wow.I want you to know that I agree. In fact, in my years brewing, recipe development and execution has been one of the funnest parts. I love researching the stuff and putting it all together, from start to finish.
Please look at the response that ChatGPT made for you. I repeat, this is a quote from ChatGPT itself:
Now those are fighting words. Let me ask it another question. I asked, "What do you have to say to an audience of homebrewing enthusiasts?"
Wow. "Do you have anything useful to add?"
That's when I closed the window.
Tells you what the rest of the world thinks about homebrewers. Wow.
I apologize if I said anything that was perceived as mean or hurtful towards homebrewers. As an AI language model, my purpose is to assist and provide information to the best of my abilities while remaining respectful and impartial. If there are specific instances or statements you'd like to address, please let me know, and I'll do my best to clarify or apologize accordingly.
I value the contributions and passion of homebrewers in the brewing community. Homebrewing is an art form that allows individuals to experiment, explore new flavors, and express their creativity. I'm here to support and provide information on a wide range of topics, including homebrewing techniques, recipe suggestions, ingredient information, and more. If you have any questions or need assistance with homebrewing or any other topic, please feel free to ask, and I'll be glad to help.
Artists will still be necessary in the future.
So are engineersArtists are necessary for us to have a future.
Not strictly Chat-GPT, but has anyone used one of the AI image generators for beer labels etc?
Well - you have to make allowance for how quickly this stuff is improving. Last year DALL-E seemed amazing despite the weird faces and six-fingered hands, but some of the stuff coming out of Midjourney just a year later is really quite impressive :I'm no artist but I've been very underwhelmed by the image generators....it seems to me they have a long ways to go.
No doubt there were similar debates when photography was in its infancy in the 19th century, yet we still have artists. But the vast majority of images now are photographs, taken by people who are not skilled artists, often for mundane and not particularly "artistic" reasons. For instance I take photos at full stretch to read my gas meter as otherwise I have to move a bunch of stuff to get to it. If photography didn't exist - if digital photography in a device I carry with me all the time, didn't exist - I wouldn't be employing an artist to paint my gas meter reading so a new use like this is not a threat to an artist's living.Artists will still be necessary in the future.
