If you have previously had success with using kettle as batch volume target you might need to tweak your profile a little

  • Potential from sugar/extract now takes into account trub/chiller loss instead of using fermenter volume directly, this might slightly lower OG on recipes with trub/chiller loss were sugar or extract is used, depeding on the amount of loss in your equipment profile. This is a common error in other tools, and if you want your OG to match other tools, this "feature" can be enabled again in the experimental settings.

Beer name will still work temporarily to not break any ongoing logging. If you have attached the Tilt, the attached batch will be prioritized over the "beer name" field.

This is to simplify and avoid confusion where the batch is not logging even when attached because there is something entered in the beer name field.

Changed
