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 Contact Us page.

To move an item into a folder, drag and drop it:
To create a new folder, click the New Folder button:
Ideas for folder names:

- Don't Brew Again
- Planning
- Clone Recipes
- Lagers
- Small Batches
- My Experiments
