Fermentation log now available

2023-12-03

There we go! Visibility on all of the ferments I’ve made is now available.

Moving this data to my site has finally removed my reliance on Google products to store my collections. The fermentation log was a bit of a doozy but I’m happy I decided to go with JSON over CSV to store the data (full data downloads on each page is forthcoming) - it makes the data way more readable when editing and provides more flexibility in the schema e.g., I can keep the main 13 or so fields for each record but expand with carbonation and oaking for the ones that need it.

Although I got a simple representation of the log up in my collections, I think there is more to be done. That is, this collection and some of the others like books are ripe for summarization and fancy graphs. Not making any real promises, but I think it may be interesting to try out incorporating some D3.js graphics in the future.
