    I love BrewCipher. It made things so much easier for me than when I was using beer smith. I was wondering if I could add malts into it if they werent already in the database? Or if I could just type in the malt name and the gravity points and still have it calculate?

    Thanks

    There's a tab called GRAINLOOKUP. You can add and/or modify malts there.
    FWIW, there's also a user guide that you can download that explains how all the tabs (including the LOOKUP tabs) work.

    Awesome deal. I figured with as much thought you put in to that there was a way to do it. I was just too lazy to figure out how. Thanks!

    PPG: 35
    Extraction affected by Mash Efficiency?: y
    Basic Attenuation: 0.75
    Attenuation Affected by Mash Cond?: y
    Lovibond: 12
