Thank you for your suggestion. I really like your idea about gallons brewed. It shouldn't be that hard to add and would really give you an idea of the value of the recipe, especially with a user rating average as well. Would people prefer a 1-10 or 1-5 stars or even something more along the...
FileMaker is cross platform. Works on both Mac and PC but that will not matter to the end user. If I design it well you will never know you are using FM. It will be just like visiting a well made website. 
I'm sure a quick visit to FileMaker.com and a little poking around would clear up your skepticism quickly. ;) and I appreciate the luck! I'm sure I'll need it.
Hey I always love a good troll. Actually I think the biggest problem with majority of "responses" I get to my questions is that they never answer the question but instead say "why not do this instead?"
Now I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here and perhaps I will institute a BeerXML export...
That is much closer. Mine will be done through FileMaker though instead of SQL. It probably will use PHP.
What will mine do that that one doesn't?

You will be able to access this through FileMaker Go when I'm done, meaning that you will have access on you iPhone/iPad. Anyone got an...
Ok. Maybe I'm not being clear about my solution. This will be hosted over the web. This will eventually hold more recipes than even beersmith. You will be able to access them anywhere you have the Internet through a webpage. You will be able to search for whatever recipe you want, filtering as...
BeerXML looks to be a noble project but I don't think that's the direction my database is headed at least for now. For example I don't think the typical end user or brewer is concerned (at least not enough to measure) about the PH level of their water.
I want this to be complex enough for the...
Hey everyone!
I have been working on a FileMaker recipe database solution. I would like community input as I intend to host it over the web and give the community access to add as many records as they want. So, what do you all look for in a recipe?
For example how many hops would you like to...
