Exclamation point in recipe field?

W

wrplace

I tried to add 20 lbs of Pilsner malt to my latest recipe and Beersmith put a red "!" in front of the grain.  WHat does that mean? My inventory says that I have that amount available.  Also, it hasn't factored the Pilsner malt into the OG calculation.  I added 3 lbs of carapils and it didn't appear with the exclamation point but was added to the OG.

Oops!  I forgot that when I updated to ver. 1.3 that my defaults were changed.  Beersmith thought I was an extract brewer and therefore couldn't figure out why I would want to add so much grain to a recipe.
my bad.

Warren,
 BeerSmith will flag grains that are "must mash" if you include them in an extract recipe.  It will go away if you set the recipe type to "all grain" or "partial mash".

Cheers!
