    Brewtarget 1.2.3 - Free Open Source Brewing Software

    Nope, I am stumped. Would you be willing to zip your files up and email them to me? If you use drop box, that would be useful too. Mik

    That is something new, I think. I will check into it.

    Brewtarget 1.2.3 - Free Open Source Brewing Software

    When you say "didn't show up", which tab didn't it show up in? The Hops tab on the main window or in the brewday instructions? Are you using version 1.2.3 or did you download the source from the svn repository and build? If it was the first option, I think rocketman has already fixed this...

    Brewtarget 1.2.3 - Free Open Source Brewing Software

    Sorry, I found myself on an unexpected vacation at the beach. It kind of took priority :) I tried this on my win7 vmware image and it didn't have a problem either. I am wondering a few things. The first thing I noticed is that you only select the directory the back files are in, not the...

    Brewtarget 1.2.3 - Free Open Source Brewing Software

    So far, yes. I have done a few tests and I am not seeing the problem. But I am running on Linux and this may be an OS specific kind of thing. I will warm up my win7 vmware image and see if I can reproduce this. Mik

    BrewTarget feature idea - log for multiple batches and inventory

    The brew day stuff has been done. If you want to try it out, get the most recent version of the code from sourceforge via subversion and build it. Any feedback would be welcome. What's there right now was the first pass -- enough to write the code and figure out what the interface would look...

    Brewtarget 1.2.3 - Free Open Source Brewing Software

    Could you put the recipe XML file in drop box or something equivalent and post a link? I am suspecting round off errors, since the amounts are actually stored in kilograms. But it will be easier for me to find it if I can see your original recipe file. Alternately, you can open a bug report...

    BrewTarget / new at all grain questions

    They will affect the calculated temperature of your strike water. If you were to put in 0 for the weight and/or the specific heat, your strike water will likely be a few degrees low simply because the mash tun will suck up some of the heat. If you preheat your mash tun, this is likely a...

    Working on it, but it will take some time.

    Brewtarget questions from an extract brewer

    brewtarget will have a tab for brewday information in the next major release. It is on my list of things to get done, just as soon as I convince myself that sorting does or does not work.

    Newbie need help setting up Brewtarget

    To set up the equipment, click the kettle looking icon in the menu bar. This will open the equipment editor. You can use this to set up the volumes of your kit, evaporation rate, etc. You can create a mash by selecting the Mash tab and clicking "Edit mash". This will let you name the mash...

    Brewtarget 1.2.3 - Free Open Source Brewing Software

    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.

    You can't, which isn't right. I think I will fix that.

    Uhh. Can we convince him to give us the patches?

    Lets Make Useful Brewing Software

    Um. brewtarget? Open source, Qt based. You need to know C++, MVC and Qt. I learned all three on the fly pretty much while fixing some of the rough spots. As almost any open source project will state, patches are always welcome. I hadn't thought much about trying to reverse engineer the...

    Q: differences in ball lock kegs

    No, all ball locks are not the same. I believe the dimensions of the keg are constant, as well as the actual size of the posts. Beyond that, there are differences (see some of the threads on Firestone and Challenger kegs). The 7/8" star nut on the post is almost all I have, except for one...

    Brewtarget 1.2.2 - Free Open Source Brewing Software

    (emphasis mine) Okay. I have been playing with this a bit because I couldn't get my version of beersmith to come anywhere near your numbers. No matter how I tried, I got an OG of 1.049 which was close enough to brewtarget's to simply be round off errors. I noticed that I didn't have a...

    Brewtarget 1.2.2 - Free Open Source Brewing Software

    Could you do me a favor and export the recipe to XML and post it? I have heard about this behavior but haven't had time to make a test case for myself. I would like to figure out what the discrepancy is and, if required, fix it. Thanks, Mik

    Brewtarget 1.2.2 - Free Open Source Brewing Software

    Some distros like putting the phonon headers in odd places. This is definitely something new in gcc 4.5. I switched my gcc from 4.4 to 4.5 and I got the exact same problem. I have checked the fix in. If you can get svn working, grab revision 322 or later If your svn isn't working...

    Brewtarget 1.2.2 - Free Open Source Brewing Software

    If you have gcc version 4.5, you may need to add a "-fpermissive" to the CFLAGS. Other than that, could you tell me which distro you are using, what version of Qt and gcc? I can try a few things to hammer this out. I know I have seen this problem, but I cannot remember how I fixed it. One...
