What brewing software do you use?

[TheQuokka]

I use Brewer's Friend - easy to get started, easy to read, great water profiling and you can add custom ingredients (though it doesn't save them :-( ) I am only talking about the online version, which you can set up on your PC, then use on your tablet for the brewday - the app versions suck big time.

I figure Beersmith is going to ask you to pay for an upgrade to a new version in two years, so will equate to the subscription, plus it is too small for my eyes, doesn't have any of the ingredients we use locally and it's water chemistry seems suspect.

I have just registered on Brewgr.com. Nice free site with recipe calculator, brew session logs, etc.
Very easy to use, but then I've only used it for an extract recipe.

Grainfather's recipe calculator and storage isn't that great. There are some small things here and there which make the software quite annoying to use. For example when I import a beer XML it makes so many mistakes I may aswell just copy it over by hand from the original source. If I'm adding my hop schedule to a recipe, realise I forgot a bittering hop and add it in, the software saves the hop schedule as is, and doesn't sort by addition timing.

I'm pretty p*ssed off Brewtoad decided to lock me out my account and their support is nonexistent. I really cant be bothered to try 100 different software. I'm building my own system in Excel.

I don't think there is an Android version, but the windows version can be found here.

Brewtoad got back to me to say the problem is fixed. They also explained it was started as a side project by some software engineers and is updated whenever they have the time.

I use the free BrewMate too. Can't say it is slick, but it does well what I use it for. Did I mention it's free? The main use for me is determining necessary grain weight to meet target ABV, and hop weight to meet target EBU. I don't really need anything more fancy than that (I don't think). I use my own designed spreadsheet for stock control [current stock - planned brews = new stock]; not hard.

I've been using Beersmith for the last 5 years with no issues
