using chromebook

[BrewCat]

I use other software but was trying to compare. Does this software work on chromebook or on mobile

You can run the web version from a Chromebook. You can try it for free by just setting up an account at BeerSmithRecipes.com - you access the web version from BeerSmithRecipes.com as well from any browser.

Note it is a separate login for BeerSmithRecipes.com but you can set up a free account and trial there.

well I tried and when I try to sign in I get a message that member already exists but doesn let me sign in with the password I use to acess the forum. Im not the most computer savy I admit

 

[BeerSmith]

The forum and recipe site use two different logins. I looked up yours and it appears you have an account "BrewCat2" on the recipe site - possibly you registered before?

 

[BrewCat]

got it, thanks

Been fooling around with the recipe builder. Is there a way to import recipes from other software

 

[BeerSmith]

Yes but you need the desktop version to import XML at this point. The desktop is included with the web version.

If you have only a small number to import you can also mail them to me and I can upload them to the web version.

 

[BrewCat]

Yeah I have a desktop I can use. Mostly I build recipes on my phone or Chromebook sitting on the porch ill try it later. I do have alot of recipes but i can just transcribe my next brew for now. Its BIAB with a P rest with infusion to 149 them 2 decotions. I'll try and enter it

You can open the files on the desktop, then copy/paste from the open file tab to My Recipes. From there its easy to copy them up to the cloud as needed.

Well I was able to upload one of my recipes on the desktop and open it but when I try to view it on the chromebook only the sample recipes which I deleated show up. I like the editor but moving in my files seems cumbersome, probably easier to just input them manually.

 

[BeerSmith]

You need to put the recipe in your cloud folder - copy it from My Recipes and paste it in your cloud view and then it will show up in the web version.

 

[BrewCat]

Oh it was in the cloud folder yhen moved it to the beersmith folder. I'll try again thanks

 

[BeerSmith]

Yes anything you put in the cloud folder will also show on the web based version and BeerSmithRecipes.com - they are private by default so the public cannot access them unless you explicitly share a recipe.

OK got it to come up now Im trying to create a BIAB decoction profile that I use. Any tutorial on that

 

[BeerSmith]

I'm not quite sure how you might easily do decoction in a BIAB system but perhaps you can drop me a PM and I can help you set up something for what you have in mind?
