I'm not seeing the Brewday Button?

Any thoughts?

I couldn't find this either but I saw a screenshot of it on the website. I'd be interested to know as well!

It took me a while to figure out, but to get your Brew Day button you have to change your settings for weight unit from lbs to kilos and your volume from gallons to liters.

I usually get all my stuff entered in and then switch over at the last minute for the brew day button.

Thanks for showing me how to find it... seems a bit odd to have to do that.

I hope there are plans to provide the Brew Day mode in the Units that the recipe is created in??

I agree 100% ...... granted it's helping me learn conversions but wow what a pain in the as* !!! shouldn't have to go through all the trouble of convertng to use this feature.

I've been messing around with this a little bit, and so far I like it. I've not used other programs, but I love that I can go into "edit" and make my own changes to styles, and add any type of ingredient I want. Question is, when adding fermentables, I need to enter "Potential Extract". How does this comare to "Extract %" that is listed on my brew supply website? For example, a malt on the supply site show "Extract % 75%", and ingredients in the program show "Potential Extract 1.030". But I'm not sure how to add a malt from the website into the program and convert Extract %.

I just gave this a look and love it!

I'm very new to homebrew and was looking for something to help keep me on track and this seems great. I gave Beer Smith a look, but it is a tad too complex for me at the moment.

When I get round to an all grain recipe (giving a kit another go next, just to make sure I can get a good technique), I'll definitely give this a go.

Frenchy - I sent you a PM before with some help here is a another answer to the solution

"What does it mean for a malt to have a dry basis fine grind (DBFG) extract yield of 78%? To answer this question we begin with sucrose or ordinary table sugar. If you dissolve 1 pound of sucrose in 1 gallon of water the mixture will have 46.21 gravity units or a specific gravity (SG) of 1.04621. If your malt has a DBFG of 78%, then the maximum potential yield of the malt is 78% of the yield for sucrose, that is, 78%*46.21 or 36.04 gravity units (SG of 1.03604) for 1 pound of malt in a gallon of water."

Cheers Rob.

For some reason I can't pull this up, is it down?

 

[randyrob]

Hello HiGravShawn,

Can you pls give it a go for me again and report back?

Perhaps the hosting company was having an issue, I sent them an email but seems to be working now

Cheers Rob.

Hmm... just tried it in Chrome and IE8 and they both said page could not be displayed.

 

[kirkosaurus]

I just downloaded it. No problems. Using Firefox.

 

[HiGravShawn]

Just tried it again and it came up although it took a while. also before the screenshot on page 1 was not displaying and is now.

I am running this today.

I am having some difficulty changing volumes and having the outcoming volume update. ABV does not update with volume changes.

It does seem to have an easy interface though.

I am interested in downloading it, but I get the following message:

Please Help!!!

I really do enjoy using this software! Thanks a ton. Effective, simple, and it's great for manipulating recipes via weight or percentages or scaling. I keep track of all my batches and copy/pasted notes form online, and personal notes under the 'notes' page.

All it needs is to finally get the 'brew day' button to work for English Units. (pretty please!?) I'll work in metric for AG and I always prefer measuring hops by grams instead of ounces....but it's a lot more convenient to work in pounds when I'm doing partial mashes. Trying to fit in a 3 lb bag of DME or 3.3 lb can of LME is a pain in metric.

I hope to pick-up a Microsoft Surface Pro and run this full version on the tablet
