#Beersmith 3 inventory update

It will be releasing a new update soon-ish once they iron out all the bugs. Brewtarget is a great team making an opensource free software. Recipe formulation: Beersmith/brewtarget/brewersfriend. They both will use the same modeling equations and should give very similar results, so it really does come down to comfort level and ease of use. BrewTarget may be just as good in a number of aspects. In short, if you like to design your own recipes and are really into getting your process modeled well, BeerSmith is very good.

I would recommend waiting for the upgrade announcement before doing your free trial test run. I would recommend trying both out and figure out which one works more intuitively for you.īeerSmith comes with a 20 day trial and is due for an update very soon, which may impact the GUI issues some people have with it. It does take at a minimum around 3 to 5 brew days of good note and measurement taking to get it working accurately and some people just want to brew and not worry about minor differences which really may not impact their beer. A lot of people like BeerSmith for recipe formulation and then turn to other freeware for water calculations and brew day notes.īeerSmith does take a better understanding of your particular process in order to really make it work well and consistently for you. It handles a lot more customization of the background calculations which is not offered in some of the other software packages. The front end is different for each of the software packages and some people complain about how 'cobbled together' BeerSmith's GUI is as compared to other software. I am a BeerSmith user though I tried most of the available software at the time that I purchased (about 3+ years ago) and don't know what features has been added to BrewTarget since. It really depends upon the features and customization you want to have in the program.
