Great!

A few things to note...

1. This is a Microsoft Excel workbook. If you don't have Excel, this isn't going to work for you. Open Office does not support userforms, and won't work for this application. If Open Office begins to support userforms, I will see if I can optimize this workbook for use with it. Until then, I'm sorry but there's nothing I can do.

2. The .exe file is simply a self extracting zip file. This just means that it'll automatically unzip the file when you click on it. As Matt said, if anyone has any problems with it, he or I can zip it in a more conventional format.

3. I have started a bug report thread here:
homebrew-alchemist-bugs-suggestions-and-gripes-t850.html
This will also be the place to go if you have suggestions or general complaints.

I hope that someone out there finds this helpful!

Cheers
Dave

Hey Matt,

I'm offshore right now, and I'm trying to get one of the fellas out here to download the Homebrew Alchemist. We're both getting the same error when we try to download it. The error is "The forum you selected does not exist". I dunno whats wrong. Also, the .exe zip won't work for Macs. When you get time to fix the error, can you also rezip the file as a standard .zip file? Thanks and...


Cheers
Dave

Apparently, this isn't working for Mac users. Please, if you're a Mac user, let me know if this works for you or not, and what version of Excel you're using.

Thanks
Dave

For the time being I took off the link to the MAC download. Tell me when you want me to put in back on Dave.

there are fields that are unchangable ie:beer style, malt type, equipment, hop type, yeast type...etc looks like a very interesting program however I'm using office xp with all of the subsequent xp programs to include excel

I retract my pervious post I just needed to set my security profile to low to allow the macros to run. however the mash efficency calculater is incorrect, I did the calculations and had 70% efficency but the program told me I had 59%
