This looks very interesting! I've downloaded it and will be experimenting with it. Many thanks.

looks good Rob.

would love to see an inventory area, and the ability to self-deduct inventory when the brew is made for a future version please.

Feature suggestion:

import/export from/to Promash, Beersmith etc

[Horatio]

Really like that, many thanks for sharing it. Very straight forward to use; even I can work it

Will defo look at it, i love GWs Beer Engine and have bought Beersmith, but its useless when scaling up and down, at least with BE you can lock the bitterness and change other stuff! If you can improve on that functionalaity and add features like an itinery like beer smith that would be fab.

One thing my logical mind thinks would be good is once you have comited yourself to the recipe, you can go into 'live mode' or brew mode, where it could act as a timer for each part of the brewing procedure, then when the brew is finished youd type in your SG and itd tell you how much youd water youd need to bring it up to the speced vol or SG.

Anyway, im rambling...ive had a drink...............
