To expand on that....I would love it if there were just a folder under recipes like "Recipes Online", where you could just browse all of the online recipes instead of logging in via your browser and adding the recipe to your favorites then going back to BTP and logging in and downloading y...

I understand your argument about efficient database design, but in practice, each batch for me turns out to be pretty much a unique item. For me as well since I never make the same recipe twice. I just think it would be great if there were a separate place to store information about the brewing ins...

Not a bad idea rob and I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I don't immediately agree with your strategy for a few reasons. First, from a geeks standpoint, what you suggest is a DBA's nightmare. Logical entities should almost always exist as database tables. What you are suggesting is a work...

The schedule looks like this: Protein 1 20 122 122 Infuse 131 9.20 1.15 Saccharification 5 30 153 153 Infuse 210 5.87 1.88 Mashout 1 10 170 170 Infuse 21...
