![]() ![]() Not going into it - just saying in case people hadn't thought of it. Good thing is you wouldn't actually lose anything because you can either rename the conflicts or open, say, the conflicted recipe file and import a missing recipe from it - you're safe if you accidentally forget to do it.ĮDIT: in case people haven't thought about doing this with dropbox (or other live sync progs) then you can also do things like create a symlinked directory junction into it for programs that don't let you do it, but will save settings in your user folder or within their own folder. You could end up with conflicted copies of the files but I've never had it happen. Make sure you shut down each version before opening the one on the other computer because Beersmith saves out the files on exit, too. Recipes, settings, equipment profiles, custom ingredients you've entered. Then on a different computer change its directory to match the dropbox folder - thing is it'll overwrite the directory contents so if your other version didn't already have the same recipes then import the backup you saved - after that they'll always be in sync.Ĭlick to expand.Yes, everything is mirrored. Do a backup first and save the backup file into dropbox. If anyone needs a quick way of having all your recipes on the cloud then use dropbox and change the beersmith recipe directory to somewhere in that - File->Change documents directory. ![]() ![]() Also change 'ulfite' to 'ulphite' and now have a Sulphite tool with sulphites. Pretty much if it's not fully in caps you can replace it, so you could do a search and replace on all the xml and bsmx files with something like grepwin. To be fair, there does seem to be something going on with the water treatment (you can add salts from the "water" tab, but they don't appear in the "water" tab) so possibly it is still "work-in-progress"?Ĭlick to expand.Go to the beersmith directory (right click on the shortcut -> open file location) make a backup of Res.xml, then edit Res.xml and do a case matched search and replace and change "ulfate" to "ulphate". And to top off my grousing you've got to put up with the spelling ("sulfate" rather than "sulphate", okay a minor grouse and I understand our well ingrained use of "ph" is likely incorrect?). Why can Beersmith suggest adding bicarbonate and chalk to the sparge water - that is daft. And then there is Slaked Lime to modify alkalinity, or even Potassium Bicarbonate (Bru'n Water don't have Potassium Bicarbonate either - slaked lime is a pain as it must be added to the dry grain and never directly to the water) - the assumption seems to be everyone wants reduce alkalinity, although there are quite a number of us who need to increase alkalinity. Using Magnesium Chloride has done far more to making water treatment easy than Beersmith has done so far (Bru'n Water includes Magnesium Chloride and introduced me to it). Manipulating magnesium and chloride ions became a doddle. Being able to exclude chalk is an improvement, but all the other water treatment salts are cut in stone and you can't add to them or modify the existing.Ī major improvement to my water treatments was discovering Magnesium Chloride. What quickly turned me off v.3 is the very inflexible water treatment. you can google any of the html tags and it will tell you what the tags are doing. I would download notepad++ and then once that is installed navigate to the file "NewBrewsheet.htm" and right click, and select edit with notepad++. if you want to change it, it's actually pretty easy. You can try right clicking it and "save link as" or "save target as" and then save it to the specified directory, then rename it. Renaming and copying the files as instructed isn't working for me. However clicking the "download" opens this in a new browser window. ![]()
