Dry hop timers #4

Open deanoemcke opened 7 years ago

Any plans to support dry hopping? My recipe has dry hop times but they're not included in the session. I guess a reminder notification would be good as well.

Yes, it's in plan. Forgot a little about that :(

In BeerXML specification is only time for how long should we dry hop, not when to start. When to trigger notification to start n-days dry hopping? Any suggestion?

Hmm. I'm not sure of the recommended time to start dry hopping. I've always started the first dry hop near the end of primary fermentation but I suppose it's totally different depending on the brewer. Ideally it would be in the xml. Seems like an oversight on their part.

I guess after you "tap to start timer" in the primary fermentation stage in the app you could show the dry hop steps and prompt the user to enter days in the future for when they'd like to be reminded for the first addition?

Either that, or you could have a setting in the options called "number of days after start of primary fermentation to add to first dry hop" that details to 5 days or something.

I notice in the punk IPA recipe you include in the app, there is a huge dry hop bill which I assume is all to be added simultaneously. Other recipes often require the same hop to be added multiple times one after the other (ie. Different start times). Not sure if this is a use case you want to support just now. It does make the UI slightly more complex.
