Recipe Generated with BrewMate


Quite functional. However whilst I was having problems with Brewmate (my own making, I'd entered an ingredient wrongly in the database) I was in the Brewmate directory and clicked on one of the XML files to see what would happen, and it opened a browser window with a nice little sheet that you can print out straight from the window. Noice.
I expect a lot of guys are aware of this feature, but first I knew of it.
Looks nice in the beer log book/folder:

Thans for that.

I print them out to place my grain and hops order with G&G over the phone. And have put them in one of those document presentation folders inside clear sleeves and then added notes to them about my brew including final taste etc for reference.

Its a great idea.

So do you need to publish the recipe for it to be shown like this or is there another way?

Looks like you just need to find the specific .xml file for your recipe in the BrewMate folder on your hard drive and double click it. As Bribie says, it opens in a new browser window. No publishing necessary ;o)

 

[Bribie G]

I've PMd randyrob to ask if it's possible for him to include it as a menu item within BrewMate itself so we can print the pretty page straight out of the main screen, as opposed to accessing the XML file externally.

Never heard of brewmate. Is it Australian? Any advantages over Beersmith & promash (other than the price)?

Never took you for a Troll, PH


Mind you, Dijabrigabeeralong is possibly a bit off the beaten track

Tidy as ever Bribie. Since using brewmate I haven't updated my brewbook, think this'll be the way I go to get a tidy it up. Cheers.

Hmmm, when I do that it comes up with just the text across the top of the page, I will keep trying.

 

[Bribie G]

Mine comes up by default in IE although I don't use IE, just Firefox or Opera - do you have IE disabled / uninstalled?

 

[hopie89]

It comes up in IE but in the web address bar has a c: drive location and just has the text.

I seriously wasnt trolling! Unfortunately I don't have the time to go on AHB as much these days (new job & new house) so I'm no doubt a bit out of the loop on a few things, I certainly never heard it discussed on here a couple of years ago....

How long has it been around?

 

[Bribie G]

Ages. It's free, download and try. B)

im getting the same thing, not getting the great looking page others are getting??

 

[Aces High]

Thanks bribie, thats great, looks way easier to read than the standard print out i've been working off

 

[punkin]

Would love to do this, but being a computer n00b i don't know how to get to the 'directory'. Please assist.

On my Windows 7 compootee, if I have the horizontal preview pane active, when I look through the recipe folder it automatically appears in this format. Which is great for reviewing pre-determined recipes without opwning Brewmate, which quite frankly I find a bit of an arse at times.
