My suggestion is to add functionality that would enable Beersmith to automatically calculate AA% within a recipe based on the hop storage index and other core user specified values.  I'm thinking:
  • Add a harvest date or month field to the hop profile
  • Add program level options for a user to specify storage conditions (temp and package type)
  • Allow user to enable/disable the auto-calculation feature within Tools > Options or within the recipe itself
The current Hop Age tool works well, but requires a lot of manual work to calculate the current AA% and then update all of the hops in each recipe.

Should also work in auto inventory subtract. Either explicitly express the hops used in recipe creation or always remove the oldest hops first.
