An update on this; clicking BJCP Guidelines sometimes crashes BeerTools.

S ubjective Problem Description Yes, I've posted 2 "annoyance" bugs to the thread already in rapid succession, but there is an issue that I have had many times over the last couple years when upgrading BeerTools: L ost / Corrupted recipes. This is the only unforgivable sin for a piece of ...

I find it a very strange default that there would be NO adjustment made for wort gravity... -Is there ANY even basic concensus over which utilization method is generally the most accurate for calculating beer with medium amoun...

Disclaimer: I'm a Beer Tools newb if it's possible that I'm using the tool incorrectly, it's highly likely. How does Beer Tools calculate Bitterness (IBUs)? Bitterness should be affected by the gravity of the boil, correct? If I go into my current saved recipe, which lists an estimated 83.9 IBUs, if...
