Brewheads.com FAQ
Why don't my measurements match that off (insert brewing software of choice)?
All the code for this site is completely new, and still a work in progress. Many of the forumlas behind the program are from various websites, textbooks, or Usenet nets posts. I'm not a mathematician, ask my calculus instructors of the past. Some errors may just be from rounding or slightly different assumptions. If you've found something significant or consistantly off, please let me know in the forums or by email and I'll try to fix it.
I'd love it if your software did (insert some cool or maybe even useless thing here), will you do it?
Sure if its possible I'm willing to add it in. These additions might take a bit of time, but I welcome any feedback about features. Please email me or post in the forums.
Are you tracking me or selling any information or anything?
Nah, I'm a huge advocate of good privacy practices on the internet and take such things seriously.
Why this site and why free, some other sites charge for stuff like this?
Nearly everything I've learned about brewing has been based on free knowledge off the Internet. No local brewers, no brewshop, etc. Hopefully I can help someone else in the community out even a little bit given how much the community has helped me out.
What are the technical details of the site?
Thank PHP first. Its my first PHP project and been a blast to learn on. Past that, send me an email with what you'd like to know.
I don't like your IBU and efficiency calculators, they suck.
I had a few other ideas for an ibu calcultor but some people asked for no limit to the number of hop additions. If you'd rather see one where you can tweak numbers without having to re-enter data let me know and I'll see if I can do that.
