OK Guys I have some great news to kick the long weekend off with. The AHB Recipe Database (Beta 1.0) has just been added.
Thanks to forum meber JasonY we have worked for the past week trying to get a customised version online for our members.
There is still a lot of work to do but we want to get you guys to put it through it's paces & bug test is as much as possible.
As some of you know this is a customised version of CybeBRAU a brewing script that was mad a couple of years ago. JasonY converted the script over to metric and then proceeded to add the auto cookie logon.
The Database can be used to share recipes with other members, as a tool to track you own batches, to comment, review or to add advice to other people batches.
It calculates a whole sort of useful information that is all kept online so you will always be able to access it.
Basically this is where we are at:
We need you guys to test it for first and foremost; BUGS! We need you to also have a look at how it work and what other features you would like to see added (or changed).
Please use this thread to post any ingredients that you want added to the DB. Certain DB admins will be assigned further down the track who can add ingredients but for the moment please add them in this thread.
As for feature suggestions & things we are working on:
ATM Yeast has to be entered as F rather than C (although it display as C)
Ability to add a file to the recipe - ie. a ProMash file of the batch.
When a recipe is created a topic is created in a dedicated 'Recipe DB' forum where people can discuss the brew further. Both the promash file and the forum link will be displayed on each recipe.
The only other thing I ask is that you enter all the information correctly so over time we have a really good, reliable and accurate Recipe DB. It would be great to see in a couple of months time that lots of AHB users are using the DB to store their batches online and using the website as a tool for their brewing.
Also it will work really well if you aren't sure what to brew next - just jump in and see what the recipe of the day is or see what has been getting rave review
Ok well enough from me click here or click on RECIPES in the top navigation bar.
Looking forward to the comments and working on this to get it better.
Enjoy!
