Here's the short version. - Open BeerSmith - Use the open command to open your BSMX file - Copy whatever you want from the open BSMX file using the copy command - Go to the view where you want it permanently stored (My Recipes or your equipment view if working with an equipment profile) and...

I just checked the server and all of the download links on the main download page at http://beersmith.com/download-beersmith are active and valid. If you are having any problems at all with the background/automatic update features I recommend just downloading manually from the link above and...

Joe, Is it possible you have the 32 bit version (which is not signed) and are running a new version of OSX (10.8 or 10.9)? If that is the case you might need to hold Ctrl while clicking (or change your system settings) to bypass gatekeeper on the Mac. The 64 bit version is signed, but I...

Honestly after 10 years I've seen just about everything. I have had people with zero boil volume in their equipment asking why the IBUs were zero, people who imported a poorly formatted recipe from another program where the "hop utilization factor" in the equipment was set to zero (which...

Can you go to BeerSmith.com and drop me a note with some details? Or even better send me a copy of the recipe you are having trouble with. Sometimes other settings such as the equipment can affect the IBU calculation.

It is based on half the IBU utilization of a boil hops and a steep temperature of 90C. If you steep at a temperature much lower than that the utilization drops off significantly (around 25% at 80C for instance from what I could find in the literature). You can change the 50% number in...

JLem, This should not happen, but make a full backup copy of your BeerSmith recipes directory (it is Documents/BeerSmith2 on most machines) before going any farther, then drop me a note at beersmith at my beersmith.com address. There are automatic backup files made which can recover data...

I apologize - the loading mash issue (which is intermittent) was found on the Android version a few days ago and I published updates for both versions. Unfortunately the Apple store typically takes 4-8 days to approve updates, so it will be a few days before the fix is posted there. If you...

Yes Since BeerSmith uses brewhouse efficiency (which represents all losses in the system in the efficiency number) and not mash efficiency as a basis, changing the losses in the brewing process won't change the OG number. The OG number is calculate from the grains added, volume into fermenter...

Released an important patch that fixes the lockup problem that some brewers encountered with late extract additions. Its out now for Android and Kindle and in review by Apple - I expect they will have it next week. Build 2.1.43. It also has a number of other fixes and an options page for hop...

Hi, The version number is simply a way of marking a different version of a recipe - it does not automatically save a new copy however. The way I use it is as follows - once I brew a beer, I fill in the data (date, notes, etc...) then use the "Copy to Log" button to save a copy "as brewed"...

Actually the current version of BeerSmith will display grain weights in lbs-oz. It should be set on by default but the option is under Options->Units near the bottom as "Show English Weights as lbs/oz". I've also added lbs-oz on the latest version of the mobile BeerSmith Lite app under...

Also yesterday I did get a confirmation email from someone who owns the new HD Kindle Fire and he has BeerSmith Lite running on it now. Brad

I've got it running on my Kindle, we've tested it on the HD simulator and we have it listed in the Amazon store. It should work just fine! Brad

Update: I managed to get the 4.3 simulator running this morning to look at this problem and the program seems to run fine on it. Could you drop me an email to discuss exactly what symptoms you are seeing? Just send it to beersmith at my beersmith.com domain. Brad

No - in fact I have an iPhone 4S I did all of the testing on. We had several beta testers running iPhone 4. Two things to check: Make sure you are running IOS 4.1 or later and also make sure it is not jailbroke. Brad

The iPhone 5 (4" screen) fix I finished today along with some other fixes and will turn it over to the beta testers tonight. Then it will go to the app store next week and hopefully be to you about a week after that depending on their review cycle. Brad

To clarify: - The "Lite" version does not have recipe editing/creation, but does have cloud integration so it is easy to move files from your desktop, a brewday timer, a cloud search function so you can browse the 3,000 recipes on BeerSmithRecipes.com from your mobile device, tools, unit...

Hi, For BeerSmith 1.4, In most cases this is caused by a corrupt "newopts14.opts" file. By default BeerSmith is in the "C:\Program Files\BeerSmith" directory. However under Vista you may also have a "Compatibility files" directory that shows up on the toolbar when you go to the...

No They are private by default unless you make them public. Brad
