Hi,

I am using a Mac.  I had created a recipe and saved it a few days.  I brewed the recipe after making multiple changes to it and being sure I saved it each time.  After brewing the recipe I closed Beersmith.  When I just opened Beersmith and went back in today the recipe is gone.  I am positive I had saved the recipe.  I have one other recipe in there and it was still there.  Anyone have an idea how I can recover it?  I started using Beersmith last year and actually had a problem where I could not enter Beersmith at all and ended up reinstalling the program subsequently losing a couple of recipes.  I love the program but basic problems are really frustrating.

Thanks in advance for any help!

 
Hi,
  Make a backup of your Documents/BeerSmith2 directory.  In that directory you have backup files called Recipe1.bsmx, Recipe2.bsmx, etc... Try opening these using the open command and see if you have a copy of the lost recipe.  If it is in there, use copy/paste to paste it back into your My Recipes folder.
