Clone problems

aschichler — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:08:07 GMT

When I want to clone an ingredient such as a type of hop, it works fine, and I can edit the parameters such as alpha acid, etc. The problems is when I add the cloned items to my inventory, they don't show up as being in my inventory when I click on the button to analyze inventory. I tried deleting the cloned entries and adding them back, setting the amount in inventory to zero, adding to it again, and saving it again, but that doesn't usually work.

I like to use the clone feature so I can just change the alpha acid or some other thing with a certain hop, or maybe make a small change of a particular malt, and not have to start over as a new ingredient, but it almost always causes problems. (Maybe I'm not using it right??)

Thanks for any help with this,
Al

Waiting for License

jhouse59 — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:47:57 GMT

I ordered ProMash Friday. I've not got an email to confirm my order or even my license. I've emailed sales@promash.com not even heard anything back from them. How long does it take to get the license?

ProMash on Ubuntu 8.04

jhouse59 — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:12:18 GMT

I've read some messages on running ProMash in Wine. I've got Wine 1.1.32 installed. I'm not having any problems. I just want to know if anyone is having any problems with the printing in Linux? I wish the program would let you print at least one recipe before you buy it. But, so far it seems like a good program.

Logging out in Vista

Frans007 — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 20:12:53 GMT

Since about one and a half year I have Promash running on a PC with Vista. The only problem is that often it won't close properly, especially when I had many windows or menu's opened. Then is the only way to exit Promash via Task manager. It's a minor inconvenience, but does anyone know what can be done about it?

Hop Calc...% Utilization for FWHing

In the Promash System Settings, under "Hop Calculations, Utilization and Storage", what % (+or-) are you using for FWHing?

Setting SG and % Percentage

pzayas — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 17:47:34 GMT

Hello all,

First time post.

When I am making a new recipe, I want to be able to just specify the exact percentage of each grain I want in my recipe and then be able to set my target original starting gravity and have the ProMash adjust the amount in lbs of grain I need for each particular grain.

Right now I am having to constantly adjust the weights on each grain to meet the percentages I want, but then it alters my SG and then I have to multiply by whatever factor it was reduced by in order to get to my target SG. It is a royal pain.

Anyone know how to do this without constantly fiddling with the weights constantly??

Need help w/ Password Recovery

specialk — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 04:31:45 GMT

Sent an email to the tech support addy already, but am posting to cover my bases.

I previously purchased Promash, and am now trying to download a new version. I have the original 2002 email detailing download instructions, user name, and password - but the URL provided does not appear to work anymore.

I've used the Password Recovery page on two separate days, but not received any email from the site despite the 'message sent' indications. So I'm stuck for the time being.

I would like to find out what I need to do in order to get up and running again.

Vista

Hi Jeff,

Long time promash user (10+ years). Had to move to vista but cannot load Promash. Is there a 64 bit version upgrade available? I would hate to have to move to another software.

Please let me know.

cheers

Hot Side Aeration

BigWoodenSpoon — Fri, 01 May 2009 20:08:42 GMT

Fellow brewers, I had a major tragedy today while brewing an IPA. My lautering manifold came apart while I was stirring the mash (I made one of copper pipe sections and "T" connectors). It has never done this in the past.

I quickly realized what had happened and there was no way out of this stuck sparge. I tried everything but there was too much grain in the manifold.

Only thing I could do was carefully dump the entire mash into my empty sanitizing bucket, repair the manifold, then pour mash back into the tun (knowing the whole time I am screwed).

My question: I have never really had a batch suffer HSA. I know the off-flavor from other beers/imports but has anyone had something similar happen? Would this pour back and forth make it undrinkable? I am fermenting now, figured what the hell. If its that bad then I wont keg it.

Thanks!

How about getting workscreens to Maximize?

Brewgyver — Thur, 16 Apr 2009 00:40:39 GMT

One freature that I always wanted in Promash is one that seemiingly every other app I use in Windows has: the ability to "maximize." The Main Menu screen is the only part of PrmMash that will maximize, the option is greyed out on all of the individual workscreens. Wha's up wit dat?

Portable Promash

Bindlestiff — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 21:05:54 GMT

I was wondering if it is possible to make ProMash a portable program by installing it to a USB drive? I'm too cheap to buy a hand held and need to move between my laptop and desktop.

Install on more than one computer?

beer_martin — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 16:08:20 GMT

Hey, I'm sure this question is addressed somewhere buried in the website. I checked the FAQ and used the forum search function, but really wasn't sure how to search. I triad "multiple computers" and "more than one computer".

So, the question. I have a laptop at work and a PC at home. Tend to use my work laptop more often and play around with brewing more often on it. It's not really my computer so I would also like Promash to be on my home PC in case (god forbid) I lost my job. Say for writing beer recipes at work.

SO, if I buy the full version can it be on both my home computer and work laptop?
