So boil SG, IBUs, and IBU/GU are different, everything else is the same. Recipe XML files attached.

Wicked. The XML files will help. I will dig in and see what I can see.

Let me first say that I am a fan of BrewTarget, it is a great tool. In trying to get the most out of it, I am trying to work with the stored Mash section on the bottom of the screen. In playing with it to learn how it works I have created a bunch of test mashes, but now I can't get rid of them. How does one do this, the minus sign at the bottom does not do it.
Thanks, I just found it! Interestingly enough, when you go to the "base" launchpad page:
https://launchpad.net/brewtarget
None of the green download buttons on the right are the Windows version; you have to go to the "External Downloads" link...

When I export to beer.xml, to add an entry to a competition, it says invalid xml. In the past, I just ignored it and manually entered my entries, but this time, I walked through the errors until I got an entry to submit and the issue is that the contents of many of the fields are using non xml characters. I was able to get a valid xml file by using escape sequences, but it would be nice to have these fields go through an escape converter on export.
For example, one field had
but the apostrophe is not valid xml, it should beCode:Bells Winter White Ale
*without the spaces, this form evidently converts xml escape characters back to textCode:Bell & # 8217 ; s Winter White Ale
Since this seems to be the active BrewTarget thread with the developers...
Any idea why the Ubuntu repository doesn't have the latest release? Can you guys make your own PPA instead of install a deb file for the latest release?
One of us at least.
I try to avoid the build systems if I can. I will ask a few others and see if we can get something posted to brewtarget.org/downloads.

I did some digging and this is an oddity with Qt as far as I can tell. It escapes some characters (like ampersands and greater-than signs) like it should, but it doesn't other characters. The really hard part is figuring out how to fix it.
I'm still working on it, but for right now the best I can offer is don't put XML special characters into the names. Yeah, it isn't really a good answer.
Just a quick question - again - ....
Due to the latest Micro$haft security updates, I no longer have access to most of the docs and vids on my desktop (says I need elevation) ... i've gone through all of the different fixes mentioned on the net, and no joy!
What I did figure out was to create a new user (#2 account) and give him administrative rights, and then transfer all of my files/videos/info from the original administrator/user (#1 account) to the new user. The only problem has been BrewTarget. I don't want to delete the original user until I can transfer all of my recipes from the BrewTarget on #1 account to the #2 account. So far, transferring the whole BrewTarget to my backup drive, and then copying brewTarget to the #2 account hasn't worked. All I get is an original app w/o my recipes! As you know, I'm pretty much of a computer illiterate, so I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me how to take all of my recipes from the BrewTarget on the #1 account, put them on to my backup drive or onto a flash drive, and then install them into my new BrewTarget on account #2. (I've tried to make it as clear as I can, hope it isn't too confusing.)
TY in advance!
Is there a way to import recipes and equipment only? I have duplicate items in my styles, and ingredients probably from past upgrades. I would like reinstall new and just import my equipment and recipes.
I asked. The answer seems to be that Ubuntu won't update a package in stable unless it is fixing a show-stopping kind of bug.
I'm not an ubuntu sort of person, but I think we do have a PPA? https://code.launchpad.net/~brewtarget-devs/+archive/ubuntu/brewtarget gives the details.
Don't grab the v2.1.0 build. It isn't quite ripe yet and will likely do bad things to your database.

I was always coming up short on the OG when I entered recipes into BrewTarget from other sources where they define the OG, and other parameters. I always chalked this up to differences in the percent yields in the BT grains data base versus the data bases used to calculate the OG in the recipes. However, I found out that it is due to the inclusion of the kettle to ferrmenter parameter in the equipment profile. Apparently the program compensates for the loss in the BK to fermenter transfer by increasing the Pre-Boil volume by that volume thus diluting the gravity. So for a 5 gallon recipe entered with equipment parameters with kettle to fermenter losses of one quart, the recipe parameters are actually for a 5.25 gallon.
I dont understand the reasoning behind increasing the pre-boil volume by the amount of the kettle to fermenter losses. To my mind this parameter is needed to calculate the brewhouse efficiency.
Can you explain?

It's in version 2.1.0. My work around for now is to set the bk to fermenter losses to zero.
It should be said that I think you are doing a great job on BT, it is a great program.

When launching Brewtarget, I'm getting prompted that "multiple databases were found. Do you want to restore the changes you made during your last Brewtarget session, or rollback to before last session's changes?" every time. Doesn't seem to matter if I clicked the save button right before exiting Brewtarget the previous time.
The Brewtarget version is 2.1.0. Running on Windows 7. Installed from download page.
I found a sqlite DB called "tempBackupDatabase.sqlite" in the data directory defined in Tools>Options>Directories. If I manually delete that DB then open Brewtarget, I do not see the message. If I make changes, save them, and exit out of Brewtarget, then I do get the message the next time I open Brewtarget. Seems like this temp DB may not be getting deleted appropriately?
Anyone else seeing similar behavior?
I tried renaming the temp database and deleting it. In both cases, it was recreated when I launched Brewtarget and was not deleted when I exited.
