A shortcode for displaying beer recipes. Now with Shortcake (Shortcode UI) integration! Link to a BeerXML document to display recipe details, style details, fermentables, hops, miscs, yeast, mash steps, fermentation schedule, and notes. Allows you to easily switch between U.S. & Metric measurements. Control if & how long recipe is cached. Allow readers to download the recipe directly. It follows the basic format of: [beerxml recipe={URL} metric=true|false download=true|false style=true|false mash=true|false fermentation=true|false mhop=true|false misc=true|false actuals=true|false cache=-1|{seconds to cache}] Please note all options (minus recipe) are optional and have the following defaults: metric = false cache = 12 hours (60 x 60 x 12 seconds), -1 kills the cache and sets value to 0 download = true style = true mash = true misc = true actuals = true fermentation = false mhop = false
