#3 Same ingredient two or more measures

[Anonymous]

When adding ingrediants that are already listed in lbs. it
won't let you add the same ingredient in ozs.

I have added a units column to the recipe_lookup table. Whan a user is adding an ingredient to a recipe they should be given a dropdown list of differnet units.

Grains: lbs, oz, kg, g
Hops: oz, HBU
Yeast: mL, cp, oz, others?
Misc: Tbl, tsp, oz, mL, others?

We could either use the value from the ingredients table as the default, or completely remove the column from the ingredients table. If we wish to use the value from ingredients, there will have to be some sort of javascript callback which will change the units dropdown when the ingedient dropdown is changed.

The benefit will be that I can add a recipe that calls for 1/4 tsp of irish moss and someone else can call for 1/4 oz.
Similarly, specialty malt can be added in integral oz instead of fractional lbs.

Phil,
If you read this, could you assign this task to me? Could you also allow me to assign myself tasks in this tracker?
