- The Mash Calculator now offers the ability to enter strike water volume directly, not based on ratio
- Added a hop utilization multiplier on the Recipe Builder, so you now can scale non whirlpool/hopback hop utilization by a recipe-wide factor
- Added gallons as an available volume unit in the Mash Calculator
- Restricted Recipe search results to valid ABV values to avoid surfacing invalid recipes
- Added Rakau and Opal hop varieties to the Recipe Builder ingredient list
