Hop temperature is shown as Fahrenheit despite units being set to metric.

To further quantify the effect; here in New Zealand iodised salt is typically 50mg/kg iodine. Usually potassium iodate is used, so that corresponds to 78mg/kg KIO3. Chiswick (London) water is relatively rich in sodium at 30ppm. If that is all provided by sodium chloride it equates to 2 grams in...

Currently, when adding a custom fermentable to the inventory you're forced to select a value for the 'Origin' field from a menu of about a dozen countries. This value is then added to the name of the custom fermentable when it's used in a recipe. The appearance of the recipe would be tidier if...

I get that sometimes when I'm using Firefox. It doesn't happen with Chrome or on my iPad. I looks like either the browser or the server timing out. The gist of this is that you might not have lost the data - it's just not being displayed.

I've never used the Basic Water Chemistry page, but it's probably safe to assume that it's just a subset of the Advanced Water Chemistry page. In the case you describe 50% utilisation does mean that 50% remains undissolved. The reported ppm of HCO3 is not the actual HCO3 concentration - it is...

It's assumed that only 50% of the calcium carbonate is utilised. There's a note on the water chemistry page to this effect. Note that where hardness is reported as bicarbonate equivalent that's twice the carbonate equivalent.

No, a justification doesn't imply that the price rise is debatable - that is simply a non sequitur. When I joined BF back in 2013 I baulked at paying $10 a year. Compared to $20 for a copy of BeerSmith it was pretty steep. Larry was very open about the rationale for his pricing and that...

Yep. It's working now.

That setting works in Firefox on the Desktop, but doesn't work in Safari on an Ipad.

Custom Fermentables are not showing in the recipe editor. If I change an entry to a standard fermentable and back to a custom fermentable then it does show up, but if I leave the editor when I return to it they've gone again. Doesn't seem to affect the calculations. It's just that they don't get...

It's not just on small devices. The water profiles and mash chemistry are messed up on my 2560x1440 monitor. Fixed eventually? The damage was cause by an entirely pointless set of cosmetic changes, and that very little care was put into the testing. So far these are only annoyances - like...

More layout issues Also, not a result of the recent changes, but why are all the"UPDATE CALCULATIONS" buttons needed? Surely you can just update on the event of a field changeing.

It's not question of "what's not working". It used to be a carefully designed layout that was a pleasure to use. It presented information compactly and in an aesthetically pleasing way. Now it wastes screen real-estate and wraps text unnecessarily. A few specific cases are ... A. wastes...

My thoughts exactly - I don't think you should blame your browser. The new layout is hideous and it's definitely not smart device friendly. Larry put quite a bit of effort into making sure the site rendered well on an iPad. Now it's a complete mess. Every time my subscription comes due I...

I'm pretty sure that I used to be able to take a mash pH reading, enter it in the water calculator along with a target pH and have it calculate amount of lactic acid to add. Now I can't find anywhere to record the measured pH. Am I missing something or has this functionality been removed? The...

I agree that the change sounds simple, but Larry didn't think so, and he ... a) knew the system very well, and b) was very active in improving it. Most of the changes that have been made since Larry left have come with unintended side effects (aka bugs). Rather than requesting new features I...

I'm a bit slow responding here, but there's an issue in that the "My Friends" tab doesn't alongside the other tabs when viewed on an iPad. Instead it wraps onto the next line and obscures whatever would normally be there. This makes the otherwise tidy interface look a bit of a mess.

I've been getting that too.

I don't think this is a bug - more of an unimplemented feature. There's a post from back in 2013 (viewtopic.php?f=5&t=824) where Larry explains that boil gravity doesn't take the equipment profile into account ie. it doesn't account for losses. I find it easier to do all calcs into the kettle...

There needs to be some way of over-riding this. Computers trying to be smart usually precedes a screw-up. I was wondering why the ABV calcs were way off on my Lagunitas IPA Clone and it seems this is why. My recipe follows that given by the Lagunitas brewer on CYBI. It uses a mash temp of...
