Fortunately quite a bit of the groundwork is done already as I have the cloud server with recipes on it, and also a substantial body of web based code that can be used. This will be fully accessible to Gold and above members.<\/p>\n<p>I know some people will be opposed to a paid upgrade to BeerSmith 3 since all minor updates for the last 7 years were free, but I ask that you consider the excellent value the software has provided for you over a period of years as well as the many free BeerSmith activities it supports including the BeerSmith Blog, Newsletter, and Podcast when you make your purchase decision.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<br \/>\nBrad Smith, BeerSmith LLC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tweet A few days ago I sent the BeerSmith 3 Quick Look out and described some of the highlights for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7671,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,6,31],"tags":[1131,12,836,1133,1132,252],"class_list":["post-7701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-beersmith-software","category-homebrewing","category-news","tag-beersmith-3","tag-brewing","tag-cider","tag-homebrew-blog-mead","tag-preorder","tag-wine"],"spectra_custom_meta":{"_edit_lock":["1528139534:2"],"_edit_last":["2"],"_thumbnail_id":["7671"],"thesis_thumb_width":["66"],"thesis_thumb_height":["66"],"_aioseop_description":["Announcement of the preorder discount for BeerSmith 3 along with upgrade options for BeerSmith  2 users"],"_aioseop_title":["BeerSmith 3 -
