The Miscellaneous Ingredient view allows you to add or edit the miscellaneous ingredient database that is available within the recipe design tool for building recipes.  From here you can add new miscellaneous ingredients, edit the parameters for items to be used in new recipes, and delete those you don't regularly use.

 

Note: Editing an item in this database will not change existing recipes as each recipe has a complete copy of its ingredients stored internally.  Changing an ingredient will only change future recipes made with this ingredient.

Using the Miscellaneous View

oSelect the Miscellaneous view from the ingredient menu or ribbon
oFrom here you can add, edit or delete new items using the large buttons on the ribbon
oYou can also adjust inventory by editing the inventory field for this item, and set the price (used for future recipes) using the Set Price button

 

 

Adding a New Miscellaneous Item

oSelect the Miscellaneous view from the ingredient menu or ribbon
oSelect the Add Misc button to add a new item
oYou can add new grains, sugars, liquid extract or dry extract by adjusting the type
oThe critical parameters for miscellaneous ingredients include the type, amount recommended per batch and use for the ingredient.  The amount recommended is typically scaled by the batch size when adding this ingredient to a new recipe - so it is important to set a recommended amount here.  The use determines where in the brewing process this ingredient will be added and how it will be displayed on the brew steps report.

 

Setting the Price

oWithin the ingredient view, select the items you wish to set.  You can select multiple items using Ctrl/Command-click and Shift-click on your mouse
oClick the Set Price button on the ribbon to set all of the prices at once
