BrewMate and BeerXML

[randyrob]

Hey Guys,

First of all "Nice Work" on creating a such good standard for Beer Recipe's & Brewing Data.

We've implemented BeerXML as the Default Recipe format for both Saving and Opening Recipes.

Many Thanks Rob.

Thanks Rob!

There is still active work going on for the ProMash and BeerSmith to/from BeerXML converters - so drop back in and check for updates.  Your program looks great - I'll have to download it and give it a spin around the block.  Will it run on a Win2K box?

Hello Anton,

Shouldn't be a problem running BrewMate on a Win2k box, if you do get around to giving it a go and it doesn't work please let me know.

I've checked out your ProMash & BeerSmith to BeerXML v2 Converters and thought they were absolutely outstanding, you really have put a lot of work into them. Are they available in BeerXML v1 standard as well?

Rob.

Hi Rob,

The existing converters are not quite in sync with the latest draft of the v2 BeerXML.  I've finally managed to update the data model for how I'm dealing with the XML and plan on re-implementing them with the latest draft standard soon.  In addition I'll throw BeerXML v1 converters into the mix.  The new implementation of the converters will be much easier to maintain.
