Most of the time, I'm brewing from a recipe kit so I get my target OG from the brewer's instructions. On the off times that I'm going from another recipe I generally use the calculators over at brewersfriend.com . Source: 12 months ago
When you use software for creating your recipe such as on brewersfriend.com you can select how much, how long, Alpha acid of the hops and when in the proces you add your hops (Boil, FIRST WORT, dryhop, etc). Source: over 1 year ago
It doesn't include the actual recipes in the dataset, but it does have a link to the recipe on brewersfriend.com. I think you can export the recipe to some kind of XML format on there, so if your savvy enough you could code something in python that goes through the recipe links, downloads the XMLs and then puts them inside a DB for analysis.

My BIG PROBLEM is that the brew calc at brewersfriend.com is telling me my final gravity will be 1.060...which is NUTS. Source: about 3 years ago
One thing I'd recommend is using some brewing software. I've played around with Brewfather as a web app, though I personally use the BeerSmith desktop application. Its visuals haven't exactly aged well, but it does exactly what I need - I can plan recipes (watching OG automatically shift as I put in different grains, etc), record brewing data, and use it as a catalog of past recipes easily.

Something like https://brewfather.app/ but with mead nutrition and balancing in mind. It's nice to get calculated acid and mouthfeel, if some considerations like that could be applied to fruit additions or yeast choice it would be great for creating new recipes. Source: about 1 year ago
For recipe apps, I use Brewfather. It has a really nice modern UI and workflow, behaves identically between mobile and desktop (including syncing), and has a lot of recipe-building calculators and features. I pay for the premium version, not sure how well the basic works but it's been 100% worth it. Source: about 2 years ago
