BeerTools Discussion Forum

First, the specifics: Using BeerTools Pro 1.5.12 On a Mac OS X 10.6.4 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Due 4GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM BTP seems to work fine while I'm looking at my recipes and creating new ones. However, when I go to quit, nothing happens. Only way to close it is to force quit. Any ideas? Thanks, -...

Please enable the delete button. Or the ability to just drag it off the recipe.

I've tried the delete button (both of them), dragging the grain off the recipe, using the "edit" menu (delete is grayed out). I can set it to zero lbs so I can move forward, but should be easier to delete a grain if you add one by mistake.

Fixed in version 1.5.7.

I can get to the page where it downloads, but when I click on the link, it opens a new tab in firefox and then starts filling it with all kinds of crazy characters. It seems to be putting the file into the web page instead of downloading it. Any ideas?

I can't launch since the license expired and when I go to get the latest update, it is not available.

Maybe I'm just missing it, but I don't see anything on the left hand side where I can drag steps into the schedule. Only way I can add is to use the "Recipe --> Add --> Mash-In" or whatever step I'm looking for. Seems like it should be dragable like the grains etc (btw, great feature).

The nil error you mentioned is the one.

I get a null error when I try to change the absorption rate.

I do batch sparges and thought the following would be helpful for us batchers. The first runnings should be able to be calculated. Simply the amount of water added minus the grain absorption, minus any dead space in the tun. Could the system compute this for us? Then, its easy for me to figure out h...

I saved a recipe, then installed version 1.0.5 (mac). Then when I try to open that recipe it tells me "File could not be opened: Invalid XML File".

Can I rescue the file?

The editor defaults to no currency (blank)

I chose US $ as the default but when I am entering costs for grains, it still defaults to blank and I must chose US$.

Couple missing ingredients...

I'm having trouble following your batch sparge instructions. Here are the things I'm trying to accomplish... 2 sparges in my batch sparge Each should produce about the same amount of runoff. Some liquid would be absorbed by the grains and maybe some in my cooler since I am lazy and don't tip it to g...
