Known issue with saving/creating Google Drive files
We are aware of an issue with saving to Google Drive as of Sept 29 2024 01:50 UTC and are working on a fix. This appears to be an intermittent error with Google in the last few days and may take some time to resolve.

Brews saved to Google Drive are not lost and can still be viewed, just not updated. You can also access them via your Google Drive interface in the /Hombrewery folder.

If you need to urgently edit documents, you can detatch them from your Google Drive by transferring them to our Homebrewery storage. To do this, click the colored Google Drive icon next to the save button when on an edit page; you can transfer them back later, but this should allow you to edit while this issue is ongoing.

If you are experiencing errors creating new documents, you can similarly change your account settings to create new brews by default in the Homebrewery storage. Click your username and then "account", then change the "default save location".

Search brews with our new page!
We have been working very hard in making this possible, now you can share your work and look at it in the new Vault page! All PUBLISHED brews will be available to anyone searching there, by title or author, and filtering by renderer. More features will be coming.

Don't delete your Homebrewery folder on Google Drive!
We have had several reports of users losing their brews, not realizing that they had deleted the files on their Google Drive. If you have a Homebrewery folder on your Google Drive with *.txt files inside, do not delete it! We cannot help you recover files that you have deleted from your own Google Drive.

Protect your work!
If you opt not to use your Google Drive, keep in mind that we do not save a history of your projects. Please make frequent backups of your brews! See the FAQ to learn how to avoid losing your work!
