blizzard said:Has anyone with Beersmith thought about creating an Add-In with all of the CYBI recipes?
I was going to do just that! I was also going to add a Jamil's Brews section with all of his brewing classic styles recipes. The problem... time to actually do this. I shall start immediately on Jamil's recipes from BCS, but is just entering them like the book says good enough for a start? How does one take my recipes and turn them into a Add-In for others to download and use? I'm pumped, starting with Light Lager page 46-47. Maybe I can get a lot done quicker than expected, who knows?

I have the book and like it. I'm really looking for one stop shopping for the CYBI recipes, particularly because the recipe settings are not my default and they are a pain to enter.
Eric, do you have software you are putting these in? I can help contribute to recipe downloads, but I'm currently using Beer Alchemy.
I completely agree everyone should not "not" buy the books and listen to the podcast to support this great information. I just would like to have easy access to the recipes. I tried my hardest to enter one BCS recipe and found it very hard to get the input info right. Does anyone know a streamlined way to enter from the book or podcast (ie. how to setup a default equipment/settings) to get the right info? It would be easy enough after that to change the recipe into my equipment or to whomever installs it for theirs. Maybe I am just not thinking right, or overthinking and can't see the light here. Help in the right direction and I will spit these things out as fast as I can. Heck, even Tx gave me a thumbs up so I think there are probably a lot of people that would use these. I'll check for response tomorrow since its been a long day and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

seabass07 said:I think there's a limited time that someone can edit a post. That's why the first post isn't up to date with new recipes.
I made up an equipment profile for CYBI recipes since they're all the same. Get's the recipe correct and easy to adjust for your equipment & batch size.
Hi,
To create a recipe add-in:
- Create the recipes in BeerSmith 2 - I recommend 10-15 recipes per recipe pack to keep download times reasonable
- Put them in a folder with the desired name (such as "Can You Brew It" - or whatever you want)
- Select the folder and use the "Export Selected" command on the file menu to export just that single folder containing the recipes as a BSMX file
- Email the BSMX file to me (beersmith at my beersmith.com domain)
- Include in the email how you want the recipe pack listed (i.e. the name of the add-on)
That's it - I will host the file on the server here and add it to the list so everyone can get it!
Brad
I might have missed it. Is 8wire one of the CYBI recipes?
Just my two bits; since The Brewing Network came up with the recipes, I'd at least put their name on the add-on file name. Something like "The Brewing Network - Can You Brew It Recipes.bsmx". It's up to you, obviously.
