Made it?

Keep the ratio that worked

The journal keeps this bowl (grams, water, temperature, and how it actually tasted) on this device, so the next one starts from what worked. It builds a 13-week heatmap as you go, and it is free and unlimited. Premium adds the tin cellar, so each bowl is costed against the tin you actually poured it from.
