Okay finally turned my first closet of beers into a spreadsheet. Just one question: how do I share the list with people who don't have an account (i.e. for my profile here)? Thanks for your hard work!
It is currently in development, and at the top of the to do list (aside from any bugs that pop up hindering immediate usage, of course). In the mean time you can export to CSV and load to Google Docs.Okay finally turned my first closet of beers into a spreadsheet.

Any way to import an existing list from excel?
Thnx in advance
If this is even close to working, I'm ****ing excited.Bar Code Scanning has just been added as a new feature! To try it out, click on "Scan Barcode" in the new item page, then click the button that appears in the new window, and take a picture of the Bar Code.
For now, the Bar Code must be scanned horizontally.
Some items may not be found, but every new Bar Code we add will help to build the database.
It's out there in beta for you to try. So far what I have found is that if it is beer from the store it works pretty alright but if it is special release stuff it has to go in the old fashioned way...but if anyone takes the minute to add a barcode if there is one, the database gets updated for everyone else.If this is even close to working, I'm ****ing excited.

trickytunadicky the transfer from CellarHQ's .csv seemed to go OK, your site reflects the correct bottle count, but several beers are not visible in inventory.
Let's say I was stupid enough to choose a set of styles that doesn't include meads and I now have put a 750 of the Statement into my cellar.
How can I fix this without a massive data re-entry?
If you go into your Cellar's Page, and click "Edit", you should be able to change what style set you are using (and then click Save). We automatically translate as much as we can, but some styles still may be translated to "Unknown" if we can't match stuff up correctly.
To figure out which style set you want to use, I recommend creating a new Cellar, and viewing all of the styles sets that are available.
Question about the barcode functionally. Do you need to attach the pic or can you use a reader to enter the barcode onto the site?
I know someone who has a reader and might borrow it if that is an option
I've mainly designed it for use with a smart phone, where you click the "Scan Barcode" button and your phone prompts you to take a picture.
If you're using a computer, and you hit the "Scan Barcode" button, you can attach a picture, and it will try to read it.
I'm not sure exactly how a barcode reader will send input to the web page, but if it can follow these steps things should work:
1. Click on the barcode field on the web page so that it has the focus
2. Have your reader type the barcode into that field as a number
3. Hit the tab key to exit the field (or hit the enter while in the field)
The software will then try to lookup that barcode for you.
I just tried this myself by typing the barcode into the field, and it didn't work due to a change in how I was doing barcode stuff, so I fixed it and it should be working now. Give it a try manually with the Dark Horse Plead the 5th barcode: 0817099004648
Let me know how the barcode is trying to enter data for you, and I can try to make the process work.
Currently, there's not a lot of feedback if it doesn't find the barcode in the database, but if that's an issue, I can add some sort of status message or popup window if people think that would be helpful.
Thanks for letting us know, we'll look into what is causing it and let you know when it's fixed. Could you let me know which style set you are using?Every time I mess with any of my gueuzes, I get this error: "Please select a Style from those listed." I think it's because there's a space after Gueuze in the style name?

Ah I shoulda included that to begin with. I'm an idiot. Clearly a few days away from work has me no longer thinking like a developer...
Anyway it's BJCP 2015.
And you were exactly right, that extra space was the problem. It should be fixed now, along with 3 other styles that might have had this problem.
Thanks for reporting this problem!
I'm getting this message when I try to use the "forgot password" link that was emailed to me:
"This form post did not pass our security checks."
I tried registering but I get this message: The Email Address field must contain a unique value.
It says "unable to reset password" when I try.Interesting. It looks like you already registered on 5/6/2016. Try to get it to reset your password.
If you have seen fear025 in the last 6 months he probably made you try it out.
He is the worst.
We have upgraded the Barcode Scanning functionality! Now, you should be able to scan Barcodes when they are aligned vertically (as well as horizontally)!
This new functionality is enabled by default.
If the new code doesn't work as well for you, just go to your account preferences, and change your "Barcode Scan Method" to the "Old Method", and the previous functionality will be available.
The scanner is designed to work with the camera on your phone. I am not sure if anyone has gotten it to work with an actual barcode scanner. That being said, it’s only as good as the barcode data in brewerydb. I find the type-ahead much less of a hassle to use over the scanner method.Has anyone tried using a scanner and have it work? The one I had from a friend was wireless and I couldn't get it to populate the field.
