One thing I've found with Suds, at least so far, is that you can't
change batch size and have it recalculate grains and hops. For
instance, if I take a five gallon in the fermenter recipe, and change
it to a ten gallon, the only thing it'll change is the gravity. I'd
like something that on the fly, would change the grain bill.
