Re: freezer to kegarator
I just received a 7.2 cu. ft chest freezer by magic chef and I want to convert it to a kegarator but I need a new temp control. Does anyone have any idea of the right one to get? There is a temperature controller in the eBay. You should check it right now before someone will get it. I am really int...

Re: Brew Day features
2) Notes on the brew results. Turns out I'm getting better at lautering (or something) and my preboil gravity was pretty high. I want to record that my OG was 8 points off the recipe. Bonus points if this helps you calculate your brewhouse efficiency. Entering the higher actual OG reading under the...

Command-I does bring up the info frame, which is a help (except for when the info instpector brings up info about your recipe instead of the grain you've selected from the fermentables window, but I suspect that's more of a bug than anything else). Still, from a basic HI perspective modal interface ...

Sloth, I'm with you the water chemistry is handled fine. I do the same thing I now have 4-5 base water profiles that I load up (pale ales, lager, stout, etc.). The only thing I would like to see is the mineral additions for my mash and one for my boil kettle. Tying the additions to my mash schedule...

Brew Day features
Last time, I promise. When I go to brew an instance of "Generic Stout" from the recipe database, what i'd like is a new window to open with brew day features. In addition to all those timers I mentioned elsewhere, I'd like: 1) Snapshot of the recipe actually brewed- if I later alter Generi...

Integrated water editor
I can pretty much handle all the water issues I need to handle using the water editor in BTP. However, it's super-clunky. Unless I'm missing something, this is treated more or less as a complete bolt-on to the system. I cannot even save a water profile to my regular database, instead it saves as an ...

Continuous hop addition model
Dogfish Head, in their 60, 90 and 120 IPA lines (I'd link them here, but bbcode is disabled for me, so google it yourself) practice what's called "continuous hopping". Basically, you take your whole hop addition and add it a bit at a time over the whole (or part of) the boil. It's more or ...

Timers, timers and more timers
I brew with a laptop in my brewhouse. I print out the actual recipe (and annotate it), but I also keep a laptop handy. In general I'd like to see stuff like: "Hey, I just officially started boiling this wort- please set up timers for the various hop, nutrient, and whirlfloc additions". &qu...

Modal item edit frames
Dunno if the lingo has changed in the last ten years, back when I was learning about this stuff, we called them "modal dialog boxes"- when they are open, you cannot click anywhere else in the window. The item edit boxes (what you get if you double-click an ingredient or vessel) are modal. ...

Linked objects (such as grains and vessels)?
Hi forum, Figured I'd post this as a feature request, since I'm pretty sure it's not something I'm overlooking. What I would like is the ability to (honestly, I'd prefer it if this were the default behavior) link together instances of ingredients and vessels between the various databases and the rec...

Aliquot computation support?
Hi board, I'm going to brew skotrat's traquair house ale sometime next week. I've done it before more or less manually, before I got BTP. What I'd like is some way to account for the funny boiloff plan in the recipe. Rather than use a lot of specialty grain, skotrat's recipe has you pull off 1 gallo...
