Hello all,
  Some nice members put together a list of custom recipe tags, and I made it sticky here:
    http://www.beersmith.com/forum/index.php?topic=1465.0

Cheers,
Brad
 
Using this info, I modified the "recipetxt.txt" file in the Templates folder.  This controls the "Text" view that most people copy/paste to share or email.  As compact as possible, I tried to show the fields that are used on brew day, and also included the style range specs beside the recipe specs.  It looks nicer in TEXT view with Courier font - the columns line up, etc.

Feedback appreciated.  Did I miss anything?

Notes:
 
The "COMPETITION" tags don't seem to work any longer.  Or rather, don't require the "COMPETITION." prefix.

Beersmith still seems to recognize the $COMPETITON.* pattern, because it replaces it with blank.  Whereas, if it doesn't recognize a tag then normally it simply leaves it untouched.  In other words, $Unknown_tag will be passed on to the output report unchanged.

The following:

Code:
<H1>Competition Data Type:</H1>

Name: $COMPETITION.BREWER

Assistant Brewer: $COMPETITION.ASST_BREWER

Club/Organization: $COMPETITION.CLUB

Address: $COMPETITION.ADDRESS

Phone: $COMPETITION.PHONE

Email: $COMPETITION.EMAIL

Name of Brew: $COMPETITION.NAME

Entry Category: $COMPETITION.STYLE_NAME

Type: $COMPETITION.TYPE

Category Number: $COMPETITION.STYLE_NUMBER

Subcategory Letter: $COMPETITION.STYLE_LETTER

Starting Gravity: $COMPETITION.DISPLAY_OG 

Batch Size: $COMPETITION.DISPLAY_BATCH_SIZE

Final Gravity: $COMPETITION.DISPLAY_FG 

Mash Profile: $COMPETITION.MASH_NAME

Hops Used: $COMPETITION.HOPS

Fermentables: $COMPETITION.FERMENTABLES

Misc: $COMPETITION.MISCS

Yeast: $COMPETITION.YEASTS

Category: $COMPETITION.STYLE

Results in the following output HTML:

NOTE: All of these tags work as expected WITHOUT the "COMPETITION."  in the middle.  EG: $COMPETITION.STYLE_NUMBER doesn't work, but $STYLE_NUMBER does.
 
Brad-

I found a tag newly supported by BS2: $FIRST_WORT_HOPS.  Makes me wonder if there are other "undiscovered" tags that are supported.

Would there be any way to get a definitive list?  I can read source code (of all variants), so I'd be happy to do the parsing myself and document the "official list". 
 
Old thread I know but didn't want to duplicate with a new one. I have looked at all of the helpful tag information and it is greatly appreciated. I could not, however, find a tag for "Mash Volume Needed" that appears in the "Vols" tab within a recipe. Has anyone bumped into this tag during your research?
