New Components

While running I decided to create a "comments" section for all ingredients. Within the details of any ingredients will be user comments.

These same comments can be viewed/modifed in the users profile.

Progress on Saturday

Got a few things done:

1). Created a cool little beer icon for the address bar

2). Created a range for both the Alpha Acid and Beta Acid definitions in the "Ingredients > Hops" section. This makes much more sense because no plant contains the exact alpha acids

3). Added a brief definition to the "Tools > Glossary" for Alpha Acids, seemed like a good thing to define, thanks wikipedia

4). Defined the cohumulone as a percentage of the hop weight, because that's what it really is. Added the % symbol in the details of each hop

5). Finished the Admin management section of users so its very easy to modify and promote users to admin level

6). Updated "Hops" display to include the alpha range (plan to add asteric for noble hops

7). Renameed "Grains" to Grains and Extracts"

8). Added flocculation to glossary: colloid chemistry, flocculation refers to the process by which fine particulates are caused to clump together into floc. The floc may then float to the top of the liquid, settle to the bottom of the liquid, or can be readily filtered from the liquid.
