I've been trying to use BrewTarget, they're up to v 4.2.1 on the new iteration of the software, but there's not a lot of activity on their web forum in the github repository for it. Shame, it looks like a very nice piece of software.
The release history (link to 'home page' at github, link to release history tags) since v 3.0 (Sept 2022) suggests an active development community.

Honestly, I missed the transition of BrewTarget from brewtarget dot org to brewtarget dot beer. A desktop home brew app that has active development and is cross platform (Linux, MacOS, Windows) is worthy of a serious look.

Has anyone been able to figure out how to import the brewer's friend XML files into BrewTarget? I tried searching for recipes using the JSON format, but I've come up pretty empty there so far.
Are you having problems with XML imports into BrewTarget?
 
Not sure if you're still using BrewTarget or paying attention to this discussion, but I've been trying to figure out how to import XML recipes from Brewer's Friend into BT, but apparently there's some discrepancies between the wording the two systems use in their XML that won't allow import into BT.

Any chance you might know how to fix the attached XML so it will import into BrewTarget? Thanks!

I've always used Brewtarget so I'm not sure how to import from Brewers Friend. Sorry

I've been manually "transcribing" for lack of a better word, recipes from the internet into my Brewtarget app. It would be so convenient if there was a way to import the beerxml files directly but I keep getting errors when I try. I guess the formatting of the XML isn't compatible with Brewtarget?

I was just wondering if anyone had figured out how to do this.

Thanks, and hopefully someone has an answer! (Or at least is willing to share properly formatted XML recipe files?)
