I opened a recipe in beersmith today and the ingredients list is blank. All of my recipes are like this. Closed beersmith, reopened, same thing, did a restart, same deal. Anyone else have this happen?
Are you using Vista? If so, try this:
1. Open up "My Computer"
2. Locate Beersmith in your Program Files
3. Double click on Beersmith to open it up and "Compatibility Files" should show up on the toolbar
4. Locate "newopts14.opt" and delete
5. Reopen Beersmith and the ingredients in your recipes should be there
If you couldn't tell I've had this problem once or twice. I've heard it also works for Windows 7.

I thought BeerSmith was ok for making beer, until it lost all my recipies, it lost all my custom water profiles, everything. I had just bought all my ingredients for for my next 6 planned beers and it was all lost. I was ticked. This is no good. Unacceptable. I am going to try BeerTools. They have that special year end offer, which ends today. Hopefully Beertools is just as good. BeerSmith is not reliable in keeping your recipies.
