• Our First AI Beer

    So a good friend of mine in the BABB (Brisbane Amateur Beer Brewers), Mark had the first crack at a recipe.  The recipe the AI generated was...

    drumroll please...

    "Pale's out, Pale's in!"

    A great name if I've ever seen one.  You can find this recipe here.

    Let's get to the brewday photos, all courtesy of our good friend Mark!

    Recirculating...

    Mash Completed, letting the bag drain as it gets up to boiling for the first hop addition

    First Hop Addition

    Beer completed and cooled down, going into the fermenter.

    We have a monthly meeting coming up in 3 weeks for BABBs, so hopefully we can bring some along if it's ready in time!  Expect an update with some BJCP scoresheets!

    So just a quick post to show off some of the latest results at 240,000 generations of this recipe generator.  We're down to an average loss of 0.06, which the original post was at approximately 0.78 still.

    Beer Name: I was walking through the park and I witnessed a squirrel orgy, his nuts were massive! 
Beer Type: All Grain Recipe 
Beer Style: Experimental Beer (34C)
Beer Color: 2.7 SRM
Beer Bitterness: 39.7 IBU
ABV: 8.7% ABV

Ingredients:
Add 11 lbs 0.37 oz of Pilsner (2 Row) UK  grains.
Add 3 lbs 11.97 oz of Oats, Flaked  grains.
Add 2 lbs 3.27 oz of Wheat Malt, Bel  grains.
Add 1 lbs 1.64 oz of Cara-Pils/Dextrine  grains.
Add 0.71 oz of Magnum hops as  boil hops for 90 minutes.
Add 0.71 oz of Magnum hops as  boil hops for 60 minutes.
Add 0.71 oz of Magnum hops as  boil hops for 30 minutes.
Add 1.06 oz of Challenger hops as  boil hops for 20 minutes.
Add 3.00 g of Irish Moss
Add 1.06 oz of Challenger hops as  boil hops for 10 minutes.
Add 0.71 oz of Saaz hops as  boil hops for 5 minutes.
Add 1.06 oz of Saaz hops as  dry hops for 3 days.

    Yep, that beer name is wonderful.  More excitingly, that is a recipe that would work.

     Now that we're down to a pretty low loss level, I can generate some text whilst giving the model a prompt.  

    Giving the beer name "Citra IPA" I was hoping for an all Citra hopped beer.

    Beer Type: All Grain Recipe 
Beer Style: American IPA (21A)
Beer Color: 8.6 SRM
Beer Bitterness: 56.5 IBU
ABV: 7.7% ABV

Ingredients:
Add 11 lbs 0.37 oz of Pale Malt, Maris Otter  grains.
Add 2 lbs 3.27 oz of Munich Malt  grains.
Add 8.82 oz of Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L  grains.
Add 0.99 oz of Citra hops as  boil hops for 60 minutes.
Add 0.71 oz of Citra hops as  boil hops for 30 minutes.
Add 1.27  of Whirlfloc Tablet
Add 0.99 oz of Citra hops as  boil hops for 15 minutes.
Add 1 pkgs of Add 2.32  of Goodbelly
Add 1.40 tsp of Yeast Nutrient
Add 1.06 oz of Citra hops as  dry hops for 4 days.

    I repeated this another dozen or so times, and it appears thanks to GPT-2 looking back when generating it's next line of text, it knows to make it not only an IPA but a Citra-based IPA!  This result is far better than I ever thought I'd get out of it!

    Just to check this out a bit more, I generated one named "Big Stout" and it made an Imperial Stout.

    ================================================================================
Model prompt >>> Beer Name: Big Stout
======================================== SAMPLE 1 ========================================
 
Beer Type: All Grain Recipe 
Beer Style: Imperial Stout (20C)
Beer Color: 39.3 SRM
Beer Bitterness: 58.8 IBU
ABV: 9.5% ABV

Ingredients:
Add 12.00 gal of Add 20 lbs of Pale Malt (2 Row) US  grains.
Add 3 lbs of Oats, Flaked  grains.
Add 1 lbs of Chocolate Malt  grains.
Add 12.00 oz of Carafa III  grains.
Add 12.00 oz of Caramel/Crystal Malt -120L  grains.
Add 12.00 oz of Roasted Barley  grains.
Add 1.00 oz of Magnum hops as  boil hops for 75 minutes.
Add 1.00 oz of Magnum hops as  boil hops for 30 minutes.
Add 1.00  of Whirlfloc Tablet
Add 1.00 oz of Northern Brewer hops as  steeping hops for 15 minutes.
Add 2 pkgs of

    We still see the hangover from the training data of "Add 2 pkgs of" where my parser didn't grab the yeast.

    I'm going to send a bunch of these recipes off locally now to get some made up.  I was discussing at the local homebrew group how I should do it, and some were suggesting I give the top blurb of name, style, color, bitterness and ABV and have an experienced homebrewer develop a recipe in isolation from the rest of the recipe.  We'd then compare both of these recipes to see how the GPT-2 based generator works out.

  • 114,000 Iterations on the wall, 114,000 Iterations...

    Dylan • 09/26/2019 at 23:58 • 0 comments

    So I originally posted on reddit when I had trained on my CPU at home to 1,000 iterations and it was producing some funny results.  Some results looked amazing, others.. would have ended up not tasting so good.  I decided I'd put the project up on paperspace and get some real GPU muscle behind it.  Within 48 hours I had 114x what I'd done in 3 days on the CPU. I've now got the results from a sample every 100 iterations over 114,000 of them!

    I thought it'd be fun to pick a few of the generations to see what it had learnt between the generations.

    So before I get to that, how about I start with showing what the recipes being fed in look like, so we can see how quickly GPT-2 is finetuned to the recipe structure.

    Amarillo Pale Ale 
All Grain Recipe 
American Pale Ale (10A)
8.6 SRM
48.4 IBU
4.7% ABV

Add 7 lbs of Pale Malt, Maris Otter  grains.
Add 1 lbs of Munich I (Weyermann)  grains.
Add 8.00 oz of Aromatic Malt (Dingemans)  grains.
Add 8.00 oz of Barley, Flaked (Briess)  grains.
Add 8.00 oz of Caramel Malt - 20L (Briess)  grains.
Add 8.00 oz of Caramel Malt - 60L (Briess)  grains.
Add 2.00 oz of Amarillo (leaf) hops as  boil hops.
Add 3.00 oz of Amarillo (leaf) hops as  boil hops.
Add 1.00 oz of Amarillo (leaf) hops as  boil hops.
Add 1 pkgs of

    Notice how the end is Add 1 pkgs of ?  Looks like my parser wasn't working very well and chopped off the yeast.  Nevermind that, the rest of it is in general what it looks like.  I scraped from a US website so all of the grains/hops are in Imperial and there was no way I could be bothered fixing that to metric.
