BeerSmith™ Recipes and Web Editor

Hey Brad. Thanks for the update. Strangely after installing it wiped out all my custom recipes. Also in the past when changing the document directory it has wiped out any recipes in the new directory. It would be nice to just import those recipes instead of wiping them out. Thankfully I have backups because it would be devastating to lose these permanently. The cloud really solves the issue but not if your run disconnected. Thanks again!

Hey Brad! Thanks for the new features. I really like that I have a quick and easy place to backup and access my recipes. One note though...more technical than anything, have you considered getting an SSL Certificate for the login mechanism? I would have a little bit more piece of mind knowing my password wasn't being sent as clear text.

I just enabled sorting for most search terms in the refine search section. You can sort by rating, name, abv, or most recently modified. If you don't see the search box refine your terms - for example searching 'ale' will not show the box since there are many thousands of ales until you refine it further.

I have a friend looking for good mead recipes - post them public if you have them!

Hi Brad! Love the new program and I'm really enjoying the recipe database. Is the Berliner Weisse style a subcategory of one of the popular styles? If not can it be added? One of my favorite summer styles of beer. Thanks!

Hey Brad, I was looking at your first All Grain recipe and wondering how it turned out for you? Is there a way to comment on recipes with submitting a rating? Thanks, loving this new version!

BeerSmith reviewed the recipe Bayou Brown Ale - all grain

Well you all took down my BeerSmith.com web server for the second year in a row for the BeerSmith 2.1 launch - even though I launched at midnight and moved to a Content Delivery Network for all of the static content. Very impressive!

Hi Brad, since there will be A LOT of recipes, I was wondering if you could sort of give a star or recognition ribbon or icon for a well-known recipe. For instance, if there´s a clone to dogfish head 60 min IPA, and that clone recipe came FROM THE BREWER, then you could add this tag or ribbon. And if a certain recipe won the NHC, you could also award that recipe with an icon or ribbon. This way we could really distinguis the good recipes from the bad, cause the rating system isn´t always faithful to a good recipe.

Hey Brad! I've been keeping a (very small) list of things I think would be nice for this website:

1. The ability to scale another users recipe to a different batch size directly from the website, the same way one can scale a recipe in the BS program.

2. The ability to delineate type of measurement by ingredient, i.e. lbs for malt and grams for hops.

3. The ability for users to edit recipes post-upload to the cloud... a few times now, I've uploaded a recipe and wanted to tweak minor things, so I had to delete it from the cloud, edit it in BS, then re-upload.

Great stuff!!

Hi Brad, I have noticed that if I use a different styleguide ie the AABC one that the recipes uploaded don't seem to go into the style categories obviously because the style numbering is different, is there any solution for this?
