I'm digging into the theory of brewing a little bit more... I've played around with creating a front end for brewing software based that is a bit more process driven. Instead I've gone with making a set of python classes which will do something useful.


from brewdayTrio import *


stores=bd3inventory()


marisOtter = bd3Fermentable()
marisOtter.name="Pale Maris Otter"
marisOtter.calculateFromYield(80)
marisOtter.color=6
marisOtter.isGrain=1
marisOtter.mustMash=1


biscuit = bd3Fermentable()
biscuit.name="Biscuit (Belgian)"
biscuit.calculateFromYield(77.9)
biscuit.color=45.3
biscuit.isGrain=1
biscuit.mustMash=1


goldensyrup = bd3Fermentable()
goldensyrup.name="Golden Syrup (Lyle & Tate)"
goldensyrup.calculateFromYield(100)
goldensyrup.color=0
goldensyrup.isAdjunct=1
goldensyrup.addBoil=1


stores.add(marisOtter,6000, 0.00143)
stores.add(biscuit,250, 0.0044)
stores.add(goldensyrup,200,0.189)


suffolkredblonde = bd3Recipe()
suffolkredblonde.batch_size_required=15
suffolkredblonde.addIngredient(marisOtter,3000)
suffolkredblonde.addIngredient(biscuit,250)
suffolkredblonde.addIngredient(goldensyrup,100)
suffolkredblonde.calculate()
