can you import db's other than recipes? like fermentables and such?
You can't, which isn't right. I think I will fix that.

Question:
I am looking for Pale Malt: Maris Otter in the Fermentables section for my IIPA. Is the listing "Pale Malt (two row) UK" the same thing?
Anyone?
Yup! Maris Otter is a brand of UK 2-row
Downloaded this night before last and used it yesterday.. Very nice.. I'll have to ask some questions to get it properly populated.. But I was able to adjust the recipe to create the targets I wanted and then hit all the targets pretty well spot on...
Is there any way to change the name of a recipe once created? I'm having trouble figuring out how to do this... Perhaps in a future update if not possible now?..

There maybe differences with OS platform, and I am running on Mac, but in the "Recipe" tab the "Name" field is editable.
Same here on Mac.
Also, dumb question: when setting up the mash equipment, whats the difference between the mash volume and mash mass?
I'm using a 10 gallon rectangle cooler for my mash tun. I entered 10 gallons for the volume, but what would I enter for the mass?
Thanks!
After creating a recipe with brewtarget and performing a 2 step mash setup, the mash wiz tells me that my initial infusion is a little over a cup, and the second infusion is 1.5 cups, while my mash out is 5 gallons. How do I get mash wiz to fix this?
That was pretty cool.
Quick question about sparging. Does Brewtarget have a capability to calculate fly sparging? I didn't see it.

Because of the way the databases are laid out, no. As wyrmwood said, the only way is to copy the recipe and change the name when performing the copy. Some of the work we hope to do for the next version will get around this limitation.
So far, I haven't explicitly put in a fly sparging calculation because I'm not really sure what it should calculate. Normally in fly sparging, you heat up the remainder of the water to your sparge temp and just run it until your runnings are 4 Plato or whatever you decide to stop at. If anyone has good ideas about how fly sparge calculations should be implemented in beer software, I'd like to hear them.
i personally would like to see the flavor notes in the hop chooser window, kind of a pain to have to go into the edit window for each hop, otherwise, great program
Any word on when the 64 bit rpm's will be available?
They're up. Check out the "Files" section...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/brewtarget/files/brewtarget/1.2/1.2.3/
But - I don't know what I should put in for the Mash. We do a simple mash - heat water to 162 (for my last Amber), put in the grain, make sure it's 156, mash for an hour, then continuous sparge to lauter it out.
How would I input this into the program?
PLEASE tell me it's not completely obvious and that I'm not over-complicating yet something else!!!
thanks!
Congrats on the blurb in the recent edition of BYO!
What about "Phonon" and "qt" for dependencies? They're not in the standard RH repos.
If the user could specify the database folder, the user could simply choose a folder within Dropbox. The databases would be instantly synced between all computers. This also has the added benefit of using Dropbox's archive capabilities of reverting back to previous versions of the file.
