pretty much this...I have a spiral notebook that my brew days get recorded in. Basic notes and the recipe.It's easy to slack. I usually add notes to my brewing sessions if something major needs to be noted. I could be a lot more detailed and thorough though.

That's true. My earliest notes read like stories. Now my notes are mostly just numbers. I move around a lot and have lost a lot of my old notes, but luckily I still have the notes from my first batch. I basically slept with my first ferment in college: "The yeast have continued their processes throughout the day and temps have ranged from 68-71. I plan to get up @ 4:00 AM to check the temp."That's a really good question. I've been brewing 4 years and I take fewer notes, but smarter notes. I don't write down which foot I leaned on when I doughed in, but I do record absorption rate, volumes, etc.I'm pretty anal, but I take fewer notes that have more impact on my actual brewing.

How did the notes help here? I take the notes but I'm not so sure they've really helped me that much.Not surprisingly, my beer has improved quite a bit in the last year.

It just helps me remain consistent from batch to batch. I've done lots of other things that have helped just as much, or more.How did the notes help here? I take the notes but I'm not so sure they've really helped me that much.
