Completion

The Completion tab — the 04 · Done stage of the brew log — is where a finished batch gets closed out. A full-width Final batch summary banner holds the headline numbers, each against its recipe target; below it you score the beer in Tasting notes, capture what to Keep and Change for next time, record how the batch was packaged, and read a Final vs target scorecard. Most fields here are yours to fill — this tab is the record of how the batch actually turned out.

Every field on this tab saves the moment you leave it — type a value and click away (or press Enter). The summary cells each show the recipe's target beneath them, so you can read your result against the plan at a glance.

Final batch summary

The banner across the top holds the six headline numbers, each editable and — except for the day count — shown against its recipe target. A completed chip, the package date, and the packaging method sit in the header.

Days total: whole days from brew day to the package date.
OG actual: the measured original gravity, against the target OG.
FG actual: the measured final gravity, against the target FG.
ABV final: the finished alcohol by volume, against the target ABV.
Atten. final: the apparent attenuation reached, against the target.
Yield: the volume you actually packaged, against the target batch size.

What “Snap from latest reading” does

The button in the banner header fills the summary for you in one click: it reads OG from your brew-day actuals, FG from your most recent fermenting reading, then recomputes ABV, apparent attenuation, and days total from those. It only writes the values it can derive — anything it can't read it leaves alone — so you can always type a number in by hand instead.

Tasting notes

The card scores the finished beer across five dimensions, each a 0–5 value with a bar that fills to match. Below the scores, a free-text box captures the overall impression.

Aroma: 0–5; the bar fills to show the score out of five.
Appearance: 0–5.
Flavor: 0–5.
Mouthfeel: 0–5.
Overall: 0–5 — your overall impression score.
Summary: free text for what stood out — the tasting note itself.

Keep & change

Two lists turn the batch into lessons for next time. Both let you add a line (type and Add, or press Enter), edit an item in place (it saves when you leave the field; clearing the text deletes it), and remove an item with the trash icon.

Keep: what worked — “working as intended.” Each item is check-badged.
Change for next: what to change next brew. Each item is numbered.

The Change for next card carries two actions in its footer for carrying the batch forward:

Fork to next version: copies this batch's recipe version into a new version and opens it in the recipe editor.
Brew this again: starts a fresh brew from this recipe and version, and drops you into the new session.

Both are disabled with a No linked recipe hint when the batch has no recipe lineage to carry forward.

Packaging

The packaging card records how the beer was put up. Four cells across the top set the basics; the rest of the card changes shape depending on the method you pick.

Packaged: the date the batch was packaged.
Volume: the volume packaged — defaults to the carbonation target volume.
Method: Forced · keg or Bottle conditioning — switches the cards below.
Target carb: the target carbonation, in volumes of CO₂.

Method	What you set
Forced · keg	Set & forget — a holding pressure (psi) at a temperature — and Quick carb — a higher burst pressure for a number of hours.
Bottle conditioning	Priming — grams of dextrose plus the priming water — and Bottle rest — how many days to condition, at what temperature.

How the carbonation numbers are pre-filled

Both methods suggest a starting value from your target carbonation and temperature. Forced · keg pre-fills the holding pressure from the target volumes of CO₂ and the serving temperature; Bottle conditioning pre-fills the priming sugar from the target volumes, the temperature, and the volume you're packaging. The suggestions are only a starting point — type your own number to override either.

Final vs target

The scorecard lines your finished numbers up against the recipe’s targets — OG, FG, ABV, Atten., and Volume — with a delta column. A delta at or above target reads in the positive color, below target in the accent color, and a metric you haven’t filled in yet reads muted. Gravity deltas are shown in points; ABV and attenuation in percent; volume in your preferred unit.

How to close out a batch

1Set the packaging details — date, volume, method, and target carbonation.
2Click Snap from latest reading to fill OG, FG, ABV, attenuation, and days total — or type them in by hand.
3Score the beer in Tasting notes and write the overall impression.
4Jot what worked under Keep and what to change under Change for next.
5The batch now reads Completed — find it under the Completed filter on the brews list.
