Fixed

  • Search - Issue selecting multiple ingredients in recipe search.
  • Water Calculator - Issue with Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3).
  • Recipe Builder - Days copy when selecting dry hop.

Added

  • Recipe Builder - Post Boil calc and input when the target is Fermenter. This will auto calculate the post boil volume including evaporation rate from the equipment profile chosen for the recipe. This volume will then be used in the Original Gravity and IBU predictions instead of the Batch Size. When the target is Kettle the Batch Size is also the Post Boil volume so nothing changes here and is still being used for OG and IBU predictions.
  • Equipment Profile - Altitude input, enter feet or meters for your altitude. This will be used to automatically change the hop utilization in the recipe builder (Click More next to the prediction bar), which defaults to 1. Example: At 5,280 feet this changes the utilization to 0.84 (ie. 84%).
  • API Endpoints - Starting to move all endpoints to `https://api.brewersfriend.com/v1`. Old endpoints will still be supported.
