Everything from mashing times, hop schedule, fermentation temperature curves, etc...
Online interface to share and collaborate (GitHub for home brewing - See brewtoad)

Brewtoad offers just about all of these things except fermentation temperature profiles. At some point we should contact them and see what they think about adding temperature profiles and if they offer an API to get at the reset of the data.

Very good idea. I started a repo which is obviously not perfect long term, but may be good to get the community sharing, forking, and collaborating. thoughts?

Also I agree that Brewtoad is the best out there. I'm sure there's a mutual partnership that could be had.

I didn't consider this project to be a place for recipes, but not apposed to giving it a try.

Concerning recipes, one thought I had is to defined a machine parsable/human readable recipe format, I was thinking YML and or JSON would work. So this would be a single file that would contain everything the system need to handle the whole brewing process.

I agree that this project isn't the best place for recipes, but as far as a Github for recipes MVP, we can test it out here.

JSON (or YML) for an entire recipe including processes would be great.
