So, I just tried this out (thanks, looking good!), and imported a BeerXML recipe from my Beer Alchemy program for OS X. Brewernauts did a good job of pulling items in and setting them into the correct sections, but all were custom items, so no numbers were calculated. I replaced all items with Brewernaut's own item selection, which then at least started giving me OG, FG, etc.
Most everything looks right, though it keeps wanting to oddly un-round my numbers. If I put in 4 oz of Caramel 120, it unrounds it to 3.9999967315362 oz. IBUs came out right, but SRM is way off (BA lists my recipe as 14.1SRM, Brewernauts says 25).
How the heck do you put in yeast numbers?! I just want to say, I'm adding two vials of WLP028. BN is asking for grams per gallon, and doesn't list White Labs, at least not that I'm seeing. EDIT: Found it, actually listed as correct name, Edinburgh. How many grams are in a vial, does anyone know? The only numbers I've found on the net are 30-40ml/vial... And then, if I just BS and say 14 grams/gallon (metric/english?), the recipe shows as using 14 GALLONS of yeast slurry. If I say, OK, well, let's drop in 0.0025g/gal, it shows as 0 GALLONS of yeast on the recipe page.
Not saying this is a crap site, it's actually looking pretty cool, but there's some really basic things which need to be looked at. Others mentioned needing to be able to adjust the alpha acid percentage of each hop they use, very important. Boil-off info (custom profiles) would be a nice addition, as well. Adding White Labs yeasts is a big thing for me...
Less important: can we tell the site to call out GRAINS as ounces, but FERMENTABLES as pounds? I rarely use less than a half pound of any one extract, but I rarely use more than 16 oz of a specialty grain.
Keep up the great work!
