Open the calendar file
Click Download schedule .ics in Step 03 and open the downloaded file. Your calendar app will add all stages & 09:00 reminders.
Create a separate calendar named “MiniBrew” in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook before importing. You can show or hide all brew events with one checkbox, or delete the whole schedule in seconds if your brew day moves.
First time importing an .ics file? Step-by-step for Apple, Google & Outlook
Double-click or tap the downloaded .ics file. When asked which calendar to add the events to, choose your MiniBrew calendar and click OK.
On a computer, open Google Calendar → click the gear icon Settings → Import & export → select the downloaded .ics file, choose your MiniBrew calendar, and click Import.
Double-click the downloaded .ics file or go to Add calendar → Upload from file, browse to the .ics file, and import it into your MiniBrew calendar.

THE PLAN FITS
Add brew schedule
One calendar file with all stages, dates, temperatures and additions, plus a 9:00 reminder on mornings when the temperature changes or something is added.
PLANS CHANGED?
Remove brew schedule
Download a cancellation file matching the most recent schedule you added.
Import the schedule file first. Then the matching removal file becomes available.
How does the removal file work?
It sends cancellation events with the same event IDs as the schedule file. Calendar apps handle imported cancellations differently; some may ask you to delete the imported events manually. For the easiest cleanup, import brew schedules into a dedicated calendar.
