Bugs and Tips

Firstly bugs...

BeerAlchemy Mac - there were problems with the Profiles and Shopping editors which are now fixed in 1.8.1. Please update to avoid these.

BeerAlchemy Touch - known issues. The recipe batch display doesn't show the actual mash efficiency for the batch - it shows the target efficiency. The instructions don't show the right mash temps etc for newly created batches. The workaround is to change the 'profile' for the recipe (it's under 'target volumes') then change it back. Both these issues will be resolved shortly. Due to Apple's approval process there will be a delay before this comes out.

A tip. The iPhone and iPod Touch can get rather short of available memory and BeerAlchemy Touch is a fairly big app. Whilst I've spent a lot of time trying to reduce the memory footprint, you may find you get better performance if you restart the device before starting the app. The main reason is that some of Apple's apps don't really quit when you tell them and hang around using up memory. Personally I haven't had any problems on the iPod Touch but this tip may help if you do.
