Kal just posted a great opportunity for a discount on BeerTools Pro: Member of the Arizona Society of HomebrewersĪlright, reviving an old thread. You can get a free 21 day trial at the BeerSmith website.īrad also posts videos weekly on YouTube with various special guests. I love BeerSmith - it's a great program and Brad (owner) is a super nice guy. I've tired Brewer's Friend, and it's very good, but I prefer the interface, inventory and some of the additional depth Beersmith provides. Beersmith also does cloud storage of the recipes, so moving to a different computer is no longer an issue. I was a calibration technician for a dozen years, so I'm uber geeky with the weights and measures. I feel it's a little more in depth, which I freely admit isn't strictly necessary. I also downloaded BeerSmith which seemed good, but i just stuck with Beer Tools Pro. At that point i was still using BrewAlchemy or something like that and Bobby's videos covered solutions to most of my gripes with Beer Tools Pro. I switched over to it a few years ago after watching some of Bobby_M's videos on YouTube where he explains how he uses it.

I have beertoolspro but strongly prefer and use brewer's friend (the website). its easy to navigate and customize, thier forums and customer support are quite good, and it will also keep an inventory of what you have on hand. I bought beersmith2 just because it was the first piece of brewing software i found. I am using a MAC, so whats the easiest and best software, BEERTOOLS or BEERSMITH? Your opinions matter, so give me some insight as to which is better and why please. I am new to all this, and our brewery is finished! Cant wait to use it! But we are at the point where we need software.
