but if you ARE inclined - and I think it's safe to say that a lot of us homebrewers are, by nature, DIY-types - I strongly recommend learning what you can from other softwares, gathering and understanding the relevant formulas, and then developing your own system using some sort of spreadsheet program. I know not everyone is inclined to do something like this on his/her own, or has the knowledge (though I'm no Excel whiz, either).

It took me a while to find the necessary formulas for everything I wanted to do, and to develop my own spreadsheets for calculating IBUs and whatnot, but I learned a TON in the process, and now I'm free from depending on someone else's ideas for what the software/interface should be, not to mention the cost. I can also print out recipes, notes, and schedules, and if I don't like the way something is set-up, I can change it. So I created my own Excel document, with numerous tabs, that I use for several things - recipe development, stock on hand (hops in storage, etc.), all my costs (equipment & ingredients), tasting notes, etc., etc. I used a few of the online systems (Hopville, then BrewToad, etc.) until I got tired of the interfaces - I thought they were cumbersome and inefficient, and I had no idea how they were doing their calculations. I appreciate that Brewer's Friend is a small start-up site under active development and that probably colors my view. New features seem to come around frequently.ĭisclaimer: I'm a web developer who found this homebrew site through some of the web development siblings on the Stack Exchange network. Create a recipe at work, view it at home, brew it at a friend's house. Unit conversions between imperial and metric (temp, volume, etc) are a little clunky.The recipe base is rather scant at this point.

(I was previously using BeerSmith and BrewTarget.) I like that the software web-based, so I can reference it at homebrew club meetings or brew sessions at a friend's house.

Pros: Full-featured and relatively user friendly, two-way sync between Mac and i(Phone|Pad)Ĭons: Cannot view batches chronologically, cannot view recipe and inventory at the same time Brewer's Friend So feature rich, it can be a bit intimidating to learn.

You can't multi-select a handful of malts then go back and edit their amounts. You have to choose an individual ingredient and amount.The few minor annoyances I have found are: Jack Smith: I just started using it I've used it for three recipes.
