First of all, thanks for a great product!
However, I would like to mention something which in my honest opinion is a bug.
The unit conversion selection feature is very useful, especially for European brewers that convert American units. However, as it is, it is very inaccurate, probably from truncating the conversion result at a fixed number of digits. For example, 0.05 lb gets converted to 0 kg. Since 0.05 lb has one significant digit, it should be converted to 0.02 kg. Similarly, if the quantity to be converted was 0.050 lb (with 2 significant digits), the result should be 0.023 kg, and so on.
The net result of the present behavior is that small batches have relatively large errors when converting units, and that conversion back and forth produces different numbers.
For me, it is a very annoying "bug". Are there any plans of fixing this behavior?
