God damn this is confusing, i'll have to relearn it all over. Why can't I find a way to enter og for my brew on the recipe page???

Oh well, patience will be necessary.

Wildwest, on the bottom right side of the Recipe Design tab, you will see Select Your Fields. Click on the Select Field button underneath all of the listed fields there. Scroll down and find OG. Click Add--> and then OK.

It's not exactly intuitive in some places, but overall it's a great upgrade.

Whats up everyone.....trying to install Beersmith 2 on my Mac and when I click on the .dmg file I get an error that "beersmith2.dmg not recognized". I just got this computer and not that familiar with the Mac. Am I overlooking something??? Anyone have an idea how to get this installed....Thanks!

Sweet, I didn't realize you could configure that whole column of info, I guess if I would have spent 3 seconds looking at it, I might have figured it out. Thanks!

Check Installing Applications in Mac OS X for future reference.

Disk images
Disk images are probably the most commonly used method for packaging a program. A disk image can be thought of as the virtual equivalent of a CD. The actual data in the disk image is contained within a single file which will look something like this:

You then "insert," or "mount," the disk image into the machine by double-clicking the file. Having done this, the the disk image will appear as another device in the Finder, as shown in the picture below:

Some disk images are `web-ready', i.e. when downloaded by Safari, they are automatically mounted, and their contents are copied to the download folder (usually the user's Desktop). Then they are unmounted and moved to Trash. The end result is that you have the application on your Desktop, and nothing else. Cool.

Works for me! I imported all of my old recipes - no issues so far. It won't take long to learn the new interface.

Johnnybrew, thanks for the heads up on that on. I look at that stuff and didn't realize there was no field to enter OG & FG. That stuff should be there without having to set it up.

 

[Bithead]

My recipes came in no problem. Had to enter some of my inventory by had though.

The only early gripe I have is that all beers from 3- 9srm look very similar. The old color block seems to be way more accurate, a minor bitch.

Thanks, Bithead...I managed to get it finally. I'm liking this a lot more than BeerAlchemy

**insert obligatory "your mistake was in buying a mac" comment here**

Just thought I'd get that over with.

It did for me.

My Tools bar is chopped off halfway through the Carbonation button. Button does work. Is there anything to the right of it. I've already posted this bug on Beersmith.

Looks pretty good to me on my crappy old 17" glass monitor. I had a problem with the old patch and photos usually are dark also.

P.S. Nothing is after the carbonation button, so no worries there. I think this version is formatted for Widescreen Monitors since they are so prevalent nowdays.

Looks like a bug to me. I can't stretch the window any wider

Interesting, mine stretches without any issues. Can you change your resolution?

 

[iaefebs]

Put your mouse pointer on the top blue bar where it says mith2... left mouse click hold the button down and move your mouse to the right.

Not having a problem moving window. My Carbonation button on the Tools bar is chopped off.

 

[wyzazz]

Don't move the window, widen the window. You're monitor isn't wide enough to accept the length of the toolbar. Unless you cannot widen the window?

Any resolution higher than 1024x768 works properly. Gotta get rid of this old monitor.

Hmmm, gotchya! Yeah anything under that is pretty old school.

Is anyone else's calender populated with brews that they haven't brewed?

Check your Calendar Options. Tools -> Options -> Calendar Options. You may have it looking at other folders/recipes, maybe even the sample recipes.

Yea, that's me, old school. Started in computer business when punch cards were popular.

Right on! That was it.

anyone noticing big differences in IBU calculations?

My recipes seem to have imported fine and both versions are set to tinseth but IBU calculations are not matching up right

I have an ESB that was 33.4 IBU in BS1.4 that is now 36.7 IBU in BS2.0
my barleywine i plan on brewing tomorrow went from 121.2 IBU in 1.4 to 95 IBU in 2.0
