Denny,
To enter a new style guide:
- First go to the Options Dialog (Tools menu), and switch to the "Brewing" page
- For the "Beer Style Guide to Display" option - set it to "ALL"
This will display all of the style guides and allow you to enter the new one.
Next, go to the "Beer Styles" database and start entering in your style guide by entering new items. As you enter each item, be sure to set the "Style Guide" text to be exactly the same for each item.
If the style guide does not have a category numbering or lettering (BeerSmith does support sub-numbers such as 2.5) then choose an appropriate scheme and keep it consistent for the whole style guide.
BTW - I'm hoping to have the updated BJCP 2008 style guide available shortly thanks to Fred Bonjour.
Cheers!
Brad
