Brian,

first of all, thanks for the great little app. I’ve taken it a bit further… I wrote a little .net windows app to wrap the converter in a frontend. It gives the user the ability to convert the .rec to code that’s postable to forums, HTML, or plain text. That way I can convert my .rec files to be easily postable without loading them into promash.

you can d/l it at http://beerconverter.codeplex.com

Again, thanks for doing all of the heavy lifting on the converter, it made my life a lot easier!

Hi Brian,
Nice work on the Promash Converter. that is a handy tool.
I am working on a bit of PHP that I hope to have import beerxml recipes into a mysql db, for use in a homebrew community webpage (For my local brew club). It would allow for easy recipe sharing, and a central club recipe repository.
I am hoping that you could shed some light on your .rec conversion process. Right now my biggest hangup is that I need to be able to convert .rec files before I can even think of importing them (silly ProMash).
This is all for fun, no profit, and I will sing your praises to the masses if you can provide even a hint… I will anyway, because of the converter, but still…

Thanks in advance.
