Would it be possible to display the weight units together in both systems. It would be useful for many of us foreigners, who read recipes in Imperial but are weighing ingredients in Metric.
For example if I wanted to make an IPA I would search recipes written in pounds of grain and ounces of hops. These are also the units I would use to share the recipes with other people. But when it comes to prepare the ingredients I always measure them in grams because this is what I'm most familiar with and also because the scales we use are expressed in grams.
Ideally I'd love to see on the grids and the reports something like:
Ingredients:
------------
Amount Item Type % or IBU
10.00 lb (4535.92 gm) Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 91.74 %
0.60 lb (272.16 gm) Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM) Grain 5.50 %
0.30 lb (136.08 gm) Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L (80.0 SRM) Grain 2.75 %
0.40 oz (11.34 gm) Northern Brewer [10.00 %] (60 min) Hops 13.8 IBU
1.00 oz (28.35 gm) Simcoe [12.00 %] (15 min) Hops 20.6 IBU
Today to prepare a recipe I have to print them twice, once per unit system. With this change I'm sure we will save many forests.
