Problems with converting units.

I just downloaded the trial, with a motive to buy it but after putting in a couple of recipes, I found an annoying occurrence.

I constantly swap back and fourth between US and Metric conversions, as I follow alot of US recipes, but brew in metric.

When changing over in beersmith .50 build, the units sometimes do not change. For instance I start with a 5 gal  batch size, and change to metric, and it changes sometimes to 20ish liters, or sometimes to 5L!
And when its changed to 20ish Liters, and I go back to gallons, it then updates my recipe to 20Gallons!

It does this with a number of fields, not just batch size.

 
Thanks,
  I'll take a close look at this - they should all change but it is possible some are not getting updated correctly.  I'll add this to my list.

  In the meantime, I recommend simply closing the recipes before you swap units.  Note you can also enter items in foreign units by using the units after the number - for example putting "2.2 kg" in a weight field will convert it to pounds if that is your current display unit.
