I am sorry if this is a repeat question and maybe I am not doing something correctly but when I put the pricing in either a recipe or even in the grain database, shouldn't one update the other? If nothing else when I do the grain list and put a price in there update a recipe or have an option to? Just curious.

Thanks
 
The way BeerSmith is set up, each recipe is self-contained.  This way when you make changes in the future to your profiles or ingredients (AA% for hops, for instance) it does not affect the record of recipes already brewed.

Always change the grain pricing in your database if you want it to be a permanent change.  Within a specific recipe if it is only a temporary change.

You can always update the prices within a recipe with a singe click.  Open the recipe you want to update and in the far right column of options (under the icon of the beer glass) there is an option to '$ update prices'.  When you click this option, BeerSmith will update all the pricing data for the ingredients within that recipe.
 
That makes perfect sense and I had a feeling there was a button I was missing. I found it thanks to your help.

Thanks again
