The Main Window
On the left side you can select your preparations, recipes and yeasts.
The preparation panel shows some general information about the
preparations on the first tab. The further tabs show the selected
recipe and yeast for this preparation, as well as optionally the
current progress, an evaluation and the label. The "Finalize
preparation" button finalizes your preparation, that means you are
finished with it, and you can't modify any more data for this
preparation (but of course its possible to reopen it again)
By clicking on the delete button you can delete your preparations,
recipes and yeasts. Caution: You can only delete a recipe or yeast if
it is not referenced in any preparation!
