Beersmith help

Post by homebrewer79 »

I'm updating the prices and AA of the hops in my Beersmith for the first time, just wondering what the hell is " $/cg ". I'm assuming it's something obvious but my well developed brain is having trouble with this simple thingamibob

I took it to mean dollars/cents per gram - just not very clearly written.

I am fairly new to BeerSmith myself so I could very well have gotten the wrong end of the stick....

I think I saw something on another forum where the creator of beersmith wrote that he made some type of mistake there. Here it is.

Next set-up question is for the hop inventory price. For instance if I bought 1/2kg of hops @ $40 how do you enter it in? When it says "price 0.00 $/cg" is that cents per gram as in 0.08 or 8.00?? unsure.gif


Hi,
This one's my fault - it should read $$ per hundred grams (which is what I intended, but did not correctly enter), so $40 for 500g would be $8 per 100g. Enter $8 and you will be fine. Somehow I coded in "cg" when I intended 100g (or hecto-grams).

I'll correct it on the next version.

Brad
You could check whats going on with your version by putting the price in, opening a recipe and adding some hops and see what dollar value comes up.
