REQ: Full Functional Yeast Supplement

[Jazzbeerman]

Hello! I ran into one minor problem. When adding your own entry in the "yeast" category, there is no amount window, which makes it impossible to specify the size of the yeast package. In particular, there is no Mangrove Jack's in the database. I was able to add an extra row to the database using beerXML, but this method is not obvious. (Well, at least it looks strange, with a new button that can add yeast). It would be cool if this was fixed)

Oh, yes, I see what you mean! That should be relatively straightforward to add since, as you say, the field exists in the DB.

If nobody else gets there first, I'll add this back in when I do the new BeerJSON fields for yeast. (Have done Hops and am working on Fermentable at the moment...)

Sorry for delay in coming back on this.

Having had a closer look, I don't think there is as straightforward way as we thought to store size of yeast package.

In the BeerXML world, the amount field (which used to be stored in the yeast table) is, depending on the context, either the total amount in your inventory or the amount being added to a particular recipe. With the introduction of BeerJSON, these are now stored separately in the amount column of the yeast_in_inventory and yeast_in_recipe tables. The amount, both for inventory and recipe additions, can be measured in:

• weight
• volume
• number of packets

I need to fix a bug with the last of these, but it's the next thing I'm working on!
