I have been tweeking my templates for the last month and have a few sugestions

I noticed that the $mash _steps and $ingredients tags do not scale the text

the note field in the hops database is too short.
it cuts off long descriptions, as I would like to have more detail on hop varieties

New tags id like to see:
-separate dough in temperature and volume other than in $mash_steps
-water to grist ratio, this is something I would like to put in my recipe report
-custom tags, I like to keep track of Batch # so I can keep track of how many times I have brewed a recipe
I currently use the assistant brewer tag for this info, but that's a little sloppy
adding a tag like:  custom1 or user1 , custom2, user2

i have not been using the calendar view, because all recipes show up and not just what I have actually brewed
it would be nice if this was only populated from the items in the brew log folder

I am in the process of converting all my brewing to metric and would like to be able to report in multiple units
ie: 5kg (11.02 lbs)    67.2 C (173 F)  this is probably not as important to me as the others.

I am also attaching my brew log template I have created
I created a brew log in excel many years ago that I have been using since I started all grain brewing
now I just added tags and publish it as htm it works fantastically. (the ability to do this is why I switched from pro mash)

A way to do this is with different titles:

9D Irish Red v1
9D Irish Red v2
9D Irish Red v3
 
I also change the titles of my recipes, but would also like to track the dates I've brewed a single recipe in the recipe view.  Especially if I don't change the recipe.  I've started using the notes field.
