Hey rocketman, is the data for the malts, hops, and other ingredients open source? Can I use it for my android brewing app?
Yep. If you add to it, would you mind sharing it with me?

Hm, good point. Added to the list.

I tried building this with ubuntu 9.04 amd 64 and I get the qt 4.5 error. I tried adding all the 4.5 developer stuff in synaptic and then later tried installing the qt sdk kit off of their website. Every time I try to build it keeps wanting to use the older 3.3 version. I'd love to try your program, but I'm not sure how to fix the problem.
I can't import xml recipes on Mac 1.1.
Problem here was that the recipes were strangebrew xml files which don't follow the BeerXML standard that Brewtarget utilizes. Would be nice if strangebrew could export into BeerXML.
Installing on Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard"
Performing a new install of the Qt 4.6 beta on Snow Leopard triggers a bug in the installer that causes the install to fail. Updating an existing Qt installation works fine.
There are two workarounds, either disable spotlight for the target drive during the install, or do a custom install where you deselect documentation and examples. Run the installer again as a full install to get the documentation and examples installed.
1. Could there be a easier/better way to back up everything? Like instead of just a export recipe, a back up all?
2. A calendar would be most excellent!
3. I know that the software adjusts weight and volumes and such, but can you have maybe a feature like Beersmith has where it will let you enter in a amount and it gives you want the amount is in other weight forms. (ie. 1 lb = 16oz)
Do you have any updated versions that I could check out? I currently have 1.1 and saw that if you were pm'ed you might have an updated version. Do you?
Do you plan on updating any fermentables, yeasts, hops....if any?
Sure. In the meantime, you can just copy recipes.xml, database.xml etc. to a backup directory if you like.
I agree. What kinds of specific features would you like?
Like a small tool that does the conversion? Sure.
Rocketman,
I hope I did not miss the answer to my question, but does this work with extract brewing (+/-) steeping/partial mashing?
This is great programming! I just would like to try it with extract brewing for now, but I wasn't sure if it is setup to work that way since there is so much in it for AG brewers.
The only other thing I would like is an additional column for the cost of the ingredient: $/lb for grain, $ for packet of yeast, $/oz of hop, etc. Using the total $, batch volume, and set 12 oz bottling, you could calculate the $/bottle (or keg for that matter). That is one of the most asked questions sometimes: How much does it cost you to brew a batch???

Cool. I hope you're not spending too much money to annoy any possible SWMBOs
This is great! Like someone mentioned before, open source and homebrewing were made for each other.
Would an online repository of recipes/ingredients accessible from the program itself be possible? I know that is kind of outside the sphere of software programming but I think it could be a valuable addition to this project.
Also, where can we donate $$$ to support?
