sounds good, let me know if you need me to try any other workflows and report back.
Using 2.1.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 8.1 (dropbox shared database). Works great, imported settings are spot on (hit target temps, volumes and gravities on first attempt). Very pleased.
A couple of minor issues:
On Windows, sometimes, I don't get the "do you want to save" window on exit, and it leaves the temp* db so most of the time when I open, I get the restore/rollback message. Not a big deal, just hit restore and it works well.
On my laptop, I have a 4k monitor (3200x1800, 15"), and Brewtarget looks really good compared some other java/flash software I use (some I can't use at all without dumbing down my monitor). It does still have tiny controls though (checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdown menus, et al), but most are usable and all the fonts are sized well and readable.
Cheers!
Using windows 7. I downloaded 2.1 and like all the features. My only problems is that the imported recipes from version 2.0.3 (I think) doesn't see the inventory. If I reselect the ingredients it will see the inventory. Is there a fix or am I going to have to go through all my recipes and reenter them?
Download load link doesn't work for me. Getting a "Page can't be displayed" error message.
Need help my brewtarget stop working. I cant use
I can try, but I am really going to need more information. Your operating system, version of brewtarget, any details you can provide about error messages, behavior, etc.

Thanks for the feedback.
We are aware of the restore/rollback problem and trying to find a solution. It is a tough nut to crack because it only seems to happen when you've installed brewtarget, not when running it from a build dir like most of the developers do. This is my top priority at the moment.
The high resolution display is another problem we know of, but I don't think any of the developers have a hires display to test on. It is hard to solve a problem we literally cannot see rocketman is looking into this, but I cannot promise anything beyond that.
I wish I could provide more than "Yup. Working on it" but that's all I have at the second.

Speaking from a computer illiterate point of view; How do I "point" BT 2.0 to my 1.2 files?You have to import your recipes. Just point Brewtarget 2.0 to your 1.2 folder/files.
It did import my (one) custom equipment file though.
My database appears to have dissappeared. I had maybe 100 recipes on it and now its decided to just go back to the basic one. Any ideas?
And my equipment.
The temp database will always be created. Basically, when you open brewtarget we copy the db into the temp. At the end of the session, when we ask if you want to save your changes, if you say "no" we copy that temp db back. If you say "yes", we are supposed to delete the temp.
I am guessing we are not deleting the temp db. There was a change comitted a while back which "simplified" that portion of the code. I will need to go do some spelunking in the commit logs to find it but I suspect that simplification is causing the problems.
I have an almost impossible time keeping my Windows build environment stable/usuable and was really, really hoping this would go away. It hasn't, so I will attempt to get that thing working again.

I was always coming up short on the OG when I entered recipes into BrewTarget from other sources where they define the OG, and other parameters. I always chalked this up to differences in the percent yields in the BT grains data base versus the data bases used to calculate the OG in the recipes. However, I found out that it is due to the inclusion of the kettle to ferrmenter parameter in the equipment profile. Apparently the program compensates for the loss in the BK to fermenter transfer by increasing the Pre-Boil volume by that volume thus diluting the gravity. So for a 5 gallon recipe entered with equipment parameters with “kettle to fermenter losses” of one quart, the recipe parameters are actually for a 5.25 gallon.
I don’t understand the reasoning behind increasing the pre-boil volume by the amount of the “kettle to fermenter losses.” To my mind this parameter is needed to calculate the brewhouse efficiency.
Can you explain?

I know this an old thread, but I am still seeing this in Mac v2.3. If I adjust the 'Kettle to fermenter' and 'Lauter deadspace' fields, then my gravity fields go down. . . . Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
Edit: I just checked and the same thing happens in the Linux amd64 package.

I have my equipment profile set as follows: 5.5 BIAB, 1hr boil, evap rate 1.6gal/hr, grain absorb 0.650, hop util 80%, Mash Tun 9.5gal, Kettle to fermenter loss 1.25 gal. I usually always start with 9.5 gallons of water and go into the fermenter with 5.5 +/- a pint or two. I use a FastFerment conical so I like to leave as much trub as possible in the kettle.
So the last batch:
12.75lbs grain
5.7 oz hops
90 minute mash at 151
60 min boil
Boil SG calculated 1.038 - actual 1.048
OG calculated 1.046 - actual 1.054
Any help appreciated!
Cheers!
