Brew Software

I have PM and BT. I like the BT interface and preloaded ingredients. They are VERY responsive to questions and are developing an update to allow you to inventory all those hops you (everyone) has hoarded.

Also, BT will convert output to BBC and post formatted in this forum as well as read PM files. I still have not figured out just how to load a batch sparge schedule into the mash section.

+1 for beersmith I tried PM didn't like the interface. BS is easier to navigate and use IMO. Ingredients are easy to edit and mash schedules for Batch are there. Also the developer is on the forums at the website and you can get feedback pretty much same day if you have a problem.

+1 Beersmith.

I think it is alot easier to use and understand than Promash.

I like promash, but it's all what you use it for. I go pretty deep into calcs cause I'm a beer geek, so I do a lot on my own too. I have some brewing calculators on www.beertribe.com

My thoughts exactly. I've tried Pro Mash, Beer Tools, and the above and for some reason, BeerSmith's interface is just much more intuitive to me. They all work well, though. Try 'em out.

Another +1 for BeerSmith same as above I felt it was easier and had a better interface over PM.

It's Mac-only but I really like Beer Alchemy. I also use BTP which is good.

I got a new computer and I lost my copy of ProMash in the move. So, I was just going to swing by B3 to pick up a new copy. It seems like it's a PC vs Mac sorta thing. But, you guys have me curious about Beersmith.

For those who have both, other than the easier interface, what are some of the differences...good and bad...between ProMash and Beersmith?

We should send a couple of e-mails to Shat to get this on a show. More e-mails that we send him, the shorter time he will blow us off.
