Yes, we support the BeerXML Version 1.0 spec both for importing and exporting.
Importing a Recipe From BeerXML: Look for the Import BeerXML link under the 'New Beer Recipe' navigation menu at the top.
Exporting a Recipe To BeerXML: On the view recipe page, there is an option under the export tab.
BeerXML results: Expect to see minor differences in recipe stats when moving between programs. This is caused by different brewing equations, rounding, etc. Make sure to double check every field, especially batch size, efficiency, and grain ppgs. For example, Brew Target wants to set its own batch size based on equipment, which can really throw off a recipe’s stats.
The My Recipes and My Brewing page allows items to be grouped into folders. The 'default' folder is where items start. Folders are sorted by name alphabetically. There is no limit to the number of folders you may have, or how many items may live in a folder. The folders on the My Recipes and My Brewing pages are independent of each other.
Ideas for folder names:
Brew Again
Don't Brew Again
Planning
Clone Recipes
Lagers
Small Batches
My Experiments
Competitions
Archived
If you are getting confused by the results of an import or export, we are happy to look into differences with you. Please use the page.
