No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
This came up a while back, but I couldnt find the original message. Wondering what people use to keep track. I use a very simple Excel workbook. Each batch is a different tab, ABV is just a formula, so all I have to do is enter the beginning and ending SG. A PDF of what I use is attached. On some batches, I get really ambitious and track SG and temp daily during fermentation, then make a graph out of the data.
EDIT: I've also recently added two tabs to the front of this workbook. One is a simple barrel aging schedule, where I can keep track of what wines are going into my new Vadai barrel, when they go in and come out, and cumulative time that the barrel has had wine in it. The other is a work in progress, but I'm using it to keep track of conversions - for example, 1oz of KMETA = X teaspoons, etc.
