I installed it into a shared dropbox folder that I can access from work and at home, win7 etc, all settings/recipes sync, works like a dream
Is brewmate gone?

Sure you didn't put in 10g by mistake? I just put in 100g @ 60 min and it spat out 191 IBU's.Dave70 said:
As I said in another thread, I played with the trial version on the phone for a while before paying the annual subscription. Ran with it solely for my last brew day and was very happy with it. I was initially a little put out that I had to pay for something I previously used for free, however I never sent the author of Brewmate any cash so I can't complain.

Yeah, that's weird. I was using the web interface, looks like you've got an actual application which I haven't used (well, I used the BrewMate one but not the Brewer's Friend one).Dave70 said:Nope.
And check out the ABV. Thats some kickarse efficiency right there.
Looks like a formulation error in the programming of the Windows application somewhere. The web interface and iOS app seem to calculate IBU's ok.

I just downloaded brewers friend onto a new pc, have used brewmate for a couple of years.
Calcs are COMPLETELY up the shit. Its useless.
Anyone found a fix?
Mmmm off to search the bin on the old pc to see if I still have the brewmate install file, otherwise it seems that beersmith will be needed.

When using BrewMate I often print out a recipe sheet from the "export to HTML" feature that puts up a nice sheet like this with a piccie of the beer glass:
However it doesn't do this any more, the picture comes up as a broken link.
Looking at the HTML code it's obvious that the picture was served externally, never realised that, I always assumed that the colour of the beer glass was calculated within the program on your machine, not externally. So there doesn't seem to be any server now that can give you "BeerGlass-3 or 4 or 5 etc" to show you the colour of the beer.

Thanks all for the above - especially Yob, great offer (but with no negative connotations on the rest of the replies, all are fantastic. Of course an offer to wash my car may be viewed favorably).
So......
I found the old install file and have loaded that.
The problem with Brewers friend is that the grain potential extract figures are incorrect. They are listed as e.g. "37" where this should be "1.037". A manual edit/update fixes this. There are a shitload of grains, all (to me) listed a little confusingly by country of origin, with Australia (e.g. Joe White) not featuring. However, this is fixable.
The calculations (esp for bitterness) are slightly different. Probably not a biggie either way.
The program does appear to be cloud based. I can only find a shortcut on my new machine, and not an actual folder to put my old recipes into. Nor an import function.
Bit of a hassle, but really I guess it is a great program and is free. And a little extra functionality in the new version.
Edit - Recipes etc are stored on the machine - but buried deeeep down in the system. C/brewmate/recipes was a little easier. Suppose I could change it.

Brewmate has been crahing radomly for about 12 months. Today it failed.
It will not work, downlaoded a new copy, same problem.
Appears they may have finally pulled the plug.
I still have all my recipes, if any one knows a way to access it I would love to know but assume the owners have put up a block.
May need to go beersmith.
