Visual Brewing Charts by Lug Wrench

Ever since I posted the very first brewing chart I did, we've been getting lots of positive feedback and praise from the readers.  About once every other week, I get an email from someone asking for the PDF versions of the charts, which is great.  However, navigating through the site to get at all of the charts has been a mild complaint which I wanted to rectify.


Eventually, Tom and I will create a static page that contains similar information to what is below, but in the meantime, I wanted to list out all the current charts in a single post that can be used for everyone's reference.

BJCP Beer Style Visual Regerence Charts
  1. SRM Color Ranges by Style
  2. IBU Bitterness Ranges by Style
  3. OG and FG Ranges by Style
  4. Alcohol by Volume Ranges by Style
  5. "Apparent" Bitterness (IBU/OG) Ranges by Style

White Labs Yeast Visual Reference Charts
  1. Fermentation Attenuation Ranges by Strain
  2. Floculation Ranges by Strain
  3. Optimal Temperature Ranges by Strain
  4. Alcohol Tolerance Ranges by Strain

Wyeast Labs Yeast Visual Reference Charts
  1. Fermenation Attenuation Ranges by Strain
  2. Flocuation Ranges by Strain
  3. Optimal Temperature Ranges by Strain
  4. Alcohol Tolerance Ranges by Strain

Hop Union Hop Variety Visual Reference Charts
  1. Alpha Acid Ranges by Hop Variety
  2. Cohumulone Ranges by Hop Variety

In addition, I have uploaded PDFs of each collection to a public folder on DropBox, which should give access to anyone who wants the higher resolution PDFs of the charts.  If the link below do not work, please leave us a comment and I'll try to fix them again.

PDF Versions of the Above Collections
  1. BCJP Beer Style Visual Reference Charts
  2. White Labs Yeast Visual Reference Charts
  3. Wyeast Labs Yeast Visual Reference Charts
  4. Hop Union Hop Variety Visual Reference Charts

If you have any suggestions for future chart topics or have any feedback on the above, please let us know - we love to hear it!

Slainte!

  2. Lewy,

    Thanks for the feedback. The PDF links are still working for me through my ISP connection, but that does not mean it is working for everyone. I'll ask Tom and a few other friends to check it out to try to get to the bottom of it.

    Is anyone else having trouble with the PDFs?

  3. The links worked fine for me. However, the Alcohol Tolerance for Wyeast seems to be missing from the Wyeast pdf file.

  4. I'll be damed - I must have forgotten to add the Alchohol Tolerance chart to the PDF for some reason. I have since updated it and the link above should now provide all 4 Wyeast PDF charts.

    If you have any trouble with the links or the content of the PDFs, please let me know.

  5. Great job! Helps a lot in comparing strains. Nice oveview. Some of the JPG pictures seem not to have the right link. Check out Wyeast alcohol tolerance chart link there is a link to the high resolution White Labs alcohol tolerance chart. Also some of the BJCP Beer Style Visual Regerence Charts are not displaying the high resolution corectly. At least in my browser.
    It migh help to have some taste chart here - taste circle, chart of offlavours in beer styles, tastes you find in partiular beer styles.
