Is it possible to export the ingredients from a particular recipe to Excel via CSV?
 
Not an individual recipe, but you can export the My Recipes listing using File->Save Report as CSV. If you combine this with
the VIew->Customize Columns you can select which fields are displayed and export them to a CSV file for easy import into Excel.

Here is an Excel workbook for importing an xml export from BeerSmith. There are three sheets: Fermentable, Hops and Misc. Open the file, select one of the top few cells, right click and select XML ->Import. Then choose the xml file with the recipe you want and the tables should all populate. From there you can do whatever you want. You can combine all 3 into one worksheet, but since you don't know how many entries will be in a Fermentables table or a Hops table you need to be careful to give each one plenty of room.
This forum does not allow me to attach a file with .xlsx extension, so I had to put it into a .zip file.

Add the ingredients from your recipe into the shopping cart. You can do this easily by highlighting the recipe and clicking on the 'add to cart' button in the icon ribbon. Go to the shopping cart and export that as a .csv file. You can then open that in excel and you will have all the ingredients on one tab.

Attached is a zip file that has a spreadsheet with all ingredients on the same sheet. Since you don't know how many malts or hops there will be you don't know how big the table will be, which is why I put them on separate sheets. If you want them on one sheet you need to allow plenty of room for each table.

Exporting CSV files for checking inventory is a very useful function. One quick question... the BeerSmith inventory tab shows UOM next to the amount. But the UOM does not carry over to the CSV file [see example attached]. Can the unit of measure be added in future updates to the CSV export? Did not see where I could have add UOM to the

Using BeerSmith 3.0 and the 10.5 Anvil Foundry. Both huge helps as I learn how to brew. And keep my inventory up-to-date.
