Mash Made Easy version 10.90 is now available as a free download on my website in both Standard/US and the fully Metric editions.
Changes since version 10.85:
1) Corrects and improves upon internal BC (Buffering Capacity) computation for malts/grains which have pHDI's of less than 5.40, and for the specific case whereby the user selects a Mash pH target of other than 5.40. Since version 10.80, grist components BC's within MME are (individually and collectively) dynamic and variable with respect to the users selected Mash pH target, and the directional magnitude of this dynamic/variable change in BC for specifically what would nominally be considered "acidic" grist components (with respect to the Mash pH target) was discovered to be formerly incorrect. If you have typically mashed at a targeted 5.40 pH, then you were never impacted by this error, which has now been fixed with version 10.90. If you typically brew light colored beers, you were not formerly likely to have been significantly (if at all) impacted, since such 'acidic' malts/grains are minimized or absent. But if/when you brew darker beers you will significantly benefit from this correction.
2) The IBU's module for the Standard/US version now bases Hop weight inputs upon ounces (as opposed to grams) per a user request for this modification.
NOTE: The BC calculation modification for "acidic" malts/grains (as per #1 above) makes this what I would consider to be a "critical fix" edition, and all users are thereby urged to upgrade from earlier editions whereby to benefit from this critical and significant improvement.
