I have finally added Gypsum as a special ingredient because I can't use Mineral Salts under My Ingredients either... It just won't save in the recipes I try and create. Unless I'm doing something really stupid... which is very likely.

The only things that have yet to be pulled into this framework are templates. They will be managed in a similar way to recipes, and will be included under the common BTP folder too. With this change, archiving BTP assets will be as simple as zipping the BTP folder (the one selected in prefs). The o...

Can we add a field that we can call "New Stock" for future recipes yet to be designed that we can manually edit the amounts which will be added to "Remaining Purchase" field so we can remind ourselves to purchase say a total of 2 kg (4.5 lbs) of Roasted Barley for example when we...

If I highlight "Recipe" then type in only part of the recipe name can you make it search all my "sub directories" for that recipe? Certainly helps when I can't remember the directory or the whole name of the brew...

Suppose I expected 1.5.3 to convert everything after I had converted it already to metric online then having to convert it again and change the serving size manually because it didn't change this (after using recipe/Convert Units) but it is easier.

For the casual computer user if there are going to be different DB with different info or even one file it would be helpful if they could backup their templates, DB, their settings and their recipes all in one go.

Using everything set to metric on version 1.5.3 when loading from BeerTools Online - Evaporation Loss, Evap/Hour and Water Volume Added changed to gal even though using a personally created template. Same thing happened with the size of serving - changed to 12 oz.

Fixed in version 1.5.4.

Apologies Rob, jumping to fast to conclusions yet again. Sorry if I caused any offense.

Personally I always prefer the keyboard as it is faster, but many of my clients using Microsoft products prefer all their programs to do the same actions using the mouse because they see the GUI. Our more experienced clients always tend to use the keyboard more where as those new staff always use th...

Be useful to be able to "right drag and drop" with the right mouse button in one movement rather than copy on the page then move that when copying recipes around under the "Recipe sub tree". Can then choose whether to move, copy or cancel easily. Being able to print a list of rec...

If possible it would be very useful to keep track of the date of purchase of most items - but things like hops and yeast are just an example...

Version 1.5.3 you have removed this. As I use this frequently could this be restored please?

All items listed under water default to gal when one desires litres...

It would be nice if we could have two licensed copies of BTP - one for the desktop and the other for a laptop by default... then synchronizes the recipes on completion - then we can update our notes as we brew. Also a print preview option would also be appreciated. Using the info window for various ...

Would it be possible to add the length of time boiled mineral salts as well as for the extracts - because the length you do boil them for does effect the final taste... When I use Extracts & Minerals up to now I have been just putting the info under the notes tab.
