Hey Brad , I think it would be really nice if when you updated your alpha acids for a new batch of hops ( like in your inventory)  it would update in the recipe . Not so much change the recipe by adjusting hops quantity , but in the IBU box update to what you will get now that you have a new batch of hops . The brewer can then look at the number and decide if it has changed enough to warrant a hops weight adjustment or not . As best I can tell the only way to do this now is adjust the alpha's in the HOPS category , then go to the recipe and delete hops , then re-enter (atleast thats all I was smart enough to do) and if you forget to do that then your IBU's are incorrect for the new batch of hops.
 
Hi,
  Thanks for the idea - I was thinking it would be nice if we had a button to update the prices as well...

Cheers!
Brad
 
Prices would be good as well. Dont know if that is something hard to do or not . Maybe a total update button might be easier??? Speaking for myself , I almost always buy more than 1 item when buying ingredients . This is probably especially true of those , like me , that buy most of thier stuff online. I try to get 3-4 brews ahead in ingredients to help offset shipping.

Brad , I have to say , on a side note , that you offer the best support for a product like this that I have ever seen !!! Kudo's
