Amount option

Brad,

While entering a recipe that called for 3/4 cup of corn sugar(dextrose), I was able to select it in the extract portion but it only allowed me to put how many pounds as opposed to in this case 3/4 cup. I put it down in the carbonation section but that doesn't show up in the shopping list. Would it be possible to allow the brewer to select the amount "type", i.e cup, tsp, etc like you do in the misc section?

Jeff,
 I recommend you weigh your priming sugar as it is FAR more accurate than just measuring out 3/4 cup.  

 Dextrose and other sugars come in many different densities depending on the size of grain, so 3/4 cup of one is not at all the same as 3/4 cup of another.  If you weigh the sugar you will get an accurate priming measure from batch to batch.

Cheers!
Brad
