For a while, now, we've had a known issue that caused a bug when changing the batch volume measurement (under settings).  The option has been there to show liter or imperial gallons (along with the old standby of US gallons), but no conversion was actually happening.  This would result in silly numbers for the required cell count; instead of, say, 21 liters, you were getting calculations for 21 US gallons.

A concerned user of the site pointed this out to me a couple of days ago; I thanked him and let him know that I was aware of the issue, and that it was on the "to fix" list.

Well, this guy went above and beyond.  He sent me a new jQuery function to replace the old version that was missing the unit conversion logic. I have tested it, and it seems to work flawlessly... so this fix is up and live.

Thanks, Ryan!

I had a couple of tiny black specs in mine last night.  Zero clue how they got there. 

Pressing on...

I have a couple of other small edits that should go live soon.  Also, I need to fix the colors - this page had some custom styling to match the old site, and it looks odd with the new design.

I'm also going to look into showing the amount of DME required for each step - assuming, of course, that you have a multi step starter.  It's a bit silly that we only provide the DME for the initial step.

Want another bug to fix? I knew you would!

The calendar pop-up on the 'yeast production date' does not show the arrows to move the months. One has to guess that they are there.

Thanks for the heads up.  The missing arrows issue is fixed.

I had moved all of the jquery stuff local to the site, in order to speed up load times.  However, I neglected to grab the images from the jquery site, and the ui css file expects them to be in an images folder relative to itself.
