I am busy developing a new control system for my home brewery in C++, and would like to be able to read the recipe info (mash profile, mash and boil duration, hop addition timings, etc) directly from the recipe database.  Are there any code snippets available anywhere to assist with reading the recipe data?  Any suggestions would be appreciated...
 
Hi,
  The recommended format to use is BeerXML (see BeerXML.com) which BeerSmith can both read and write.  This is a well defined format.

  Obviously you could parse and use the BeerSmith BSMX format, but it is not documented and also subject to change as I update the software.  That's why I recommend using the standard format instead.
