Perhaps I just haven't figured this out yet, but it seems to me that the only thing you can do with this is adjust the ratios of your current ingredients. If your total grist is 7 pounds, you need to add exactly 7 pounds of grain to your recipe before using the percentage adjustment screen.
It would be nice if you could have fields for inputting your desired total grain weight OR your desired OG. You could edit one of them and the other would update, as well as the amounts of all your grains. For example, if you typed in 7 lbs. of grain, it would instantly calculate your OG for the given percentages. Or, if you wanted a target OG of 1.072, the software would instantly calculate the total grain weight to reach that OG, based on percentages.
This change would allow you to really use this new feature for recipe design. You could put in the target OG and your base and specialty malts and experiment with different percentages and OGs on the fly without changing your grain bill until you're ready. This can already be done manually outside of this screen, but requires much more work.
