Cheers, HopBomb, added to the list.

Any more suggestions?

I won't do any major work until the basic layout is done, no point duplicating effort.
This will be a longish term project, so it won't be ready by Monday ;-)

A rating system might be handy. Also sorting by how dificult/technical the brew are eg. step mash, decoction. etc.

Support upload of BeerXML. It'll have the structure and will support multiple apps that export it

Check out the aha website for how they do comp winners each year by category. it's a nice collection if recipes in and easy to find format.

Grains should be in %,

Buy what is the total grain weight to water ratio?

i.e.
For a 22.5l brew, you want 8 kgs of grain in total:

The percentages are:

Malt A: x%
Malt Y: y%

etc

2.7 usually. But what brewer isnt using a recipe design app or program these days? Using that app its much simpler key in grain % & adjust hops to match BU. Your OG is determined by your systems efficiency, not as easy as 8kg grain for 22.5 L brew. Not everyone brews 5 gallon batches. Some brew smaller, some brew bigger & its a PITA to have to key in exact amounts of grains & hops from a recipe to then have to scale it up or down to suit your system. This is why % & BU is much cleaner for a recipe bank (imo)

Found a way to integrate BeerXML files, so this is probably the way we'll go. It covers a lot of the aspects requested. It can be then downloaded & imported into your own program, then adjusted to your own system.

Giving them Ratings or a Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced level would be a bit more difficult, as the differentiators would be very subjective & may put people off a good recipe, e.g. 'that's a beginner one, I won't do something that simple' or 'It's too Hard , I won't be able to do it".

We just need to ammend the BJCP styles on the files when they are received, to reflect the 2015 guidelines.

Ok I have plenty of time to do this now, so I can start soon hopefully.
