Sweet. Let's bump this to the top for the faithful. Like me.

Cool just downloaded it thanks. Looks like more recipes were added too. I just got down exporting my recipes from 1.2 and imported them into this

Does the new version import anything from 1.2? Do you have to redo your equipment profile?

It did NOT automatically import them, guess it installed in a different location, I didn't pay attention. I checked briefly to see if there was some sort of transfer process but didn't look long. I only had 4 home made recipes in 1.2 so it wasn't a hard process, just 4 exports, and 4 imports. I had them both open at the same time.

Now as far as the equipment profile, it didn't look like 2.0 had the 5 gallon mashtun / 8 gallon kettle, but as soon as I imported my Oatmeal Stout recipe, that imported as well.

It didn't transfer anything. A bit annoying I will say. But after a few minutes I have most everything transfered equipment recipes. Need to transfer my yeasts.

 

[Sevenal]

Any inventory plugged into this version?

 

[jflongo]

It has 3 equipment defaults. But as you import your recipes the equipment with transfer as well. There is 2 or 3 times the amount of default recipes now as well.

Anyone else have trouble with the 64-bit Mac download? I download it, mount the dmg file, and inside is the shortcut to the Applications folder, but no BrewTarget. Even searching the file in Terminal (ls -a) turns up nothing. Am I missing something?

 

[DirtyOldDuck]

Thanks to those who answered my questions.

That should be fixed now. Sorry, there was an issue with the compressed image I built, but a new fixed image has been uploaded. Go ahead and try it again.

Perfect, thanks!

Nice update,... i'm having some troubles when adding ingrediens. When I click on a ingrediens i would like to add, from the misc database, it adds the wrong one,... what am I doing wrong??

I'm running it on Linux Mint 14.

Best regards.

I noticed the same thing, double click on the item and it should add it.

You can drag the grain, hops, yeast, etc. from the left pane over to the recipe area and skip the ingredient selection window altogether, too.

I love brewtarget, but one thing I found is that I exported my recipes from version 1.2.4 and imported them into version 2 and my calculations have changed. One of my recipes in version 1.2.4 had a calculated ABV of 5.6 and in version 2 after I imported it the ABV is 6.8. Even the color changed from a 5.8 to a 6.6, but nothing in the ingredients changed. Did anyone else find the same thing happened? I am just wondering if I need to reenter anything manually. Thanks

 

[mb82]

I noticed calcs had changed. The color I think is now more accurate, with 1.2 I could never get my color below 9SRM. Now it actually goes lower then that. Along with my cal/beer has dropped way down on my milds, but not for the other beers so I think it might be more accurate there also.

The issue I am having and I don't know if anyone else is, is when I change efficiency it does not change anything. The program seems to be locked on 70% efficiency and normally I get 80%+.

 

[mrstevenund]

I'm seeing issues with bringing in the equipment. While it comes in the the recipe, it does not show up in the equipment list to use on future recipes.

That is exporting each individual recipe from 1.2.4 and importing in 2.0.

 

[masskrug]

Does the new version import anything from 1.2? Do you have to redo your equipment profile?

You have to import your recipes. Just point Brewtarget 2.0 to your 1.2 folder/files.

It did import my (one) custom equipment file though.

I am using the Windows Version... When I make new equipment and save it it only saves my boil volume and nothing else... If I go back in and input the batch size and input the rest and press save it only saves the batch size... Am I doing something wrong???

Thanks,

MT

 

[eulipion2]

Just out of curiosity, does BT 2.0 still require the Qt libraries? Wondering if I need to worry about keeping them up to date.

It is a bug I also found. It only takes one input and saves it. So you have to put each input in and click save then go back and put another one in. Kinda annoying.
Lets just say I am going to wait for the next update to 2.0 before I switch from 1.24 and hope some of these bugs have been worked out. I really like 2.0 for a lot of reasons, these bugs are annoying me though.

Sorry about that. Did anyone submit a bug report? That should be easy enough to fix.

Also, @eulipion2, the builds are statically linked to QT for both Windows and Mac. I don't do the Linux builds, but if we don't statically link them, then we should. However, what this means is that you should not need to update anything to use the software.

 

[Starderup]

I am not able to install it because of dependency libqtcore4:4.8.0. I found qt 5 and did make and make install, but really have run into a wall now. Have no idea how to proceed.

 

[pbuelow]

@Starderup, what system are you doing this on? Can you PM me privately, this isn't a good forum to troubleshoot on.

I did submit a bug report about the efficiency. Looking at the tracker other bugs that have come after it have been put infront of it to be fixed. Maybe I am the only one?

Two responses.

I have a fix for the first problem. We will need to discuss how we want to approach this.

For the second problem, we don't support qt5 yet. It hasn't hit any of my development systems yet, so I don't even know what will happen. I would recommend going here http://qt-project.org/downloads and scroll down to the qt 4.8 section. Download the appropriate libraries and try with those.

Nope. I can reproduce. It seems to correct itself if you click around enough. I am fairly certain I know where to start looking for that kind of problem. I have assigned the bug to me and will figure it out once I have a few of the really burning problems taken care of.
