Not to be a Buzzkill but this has been asked and answered several times in the forums, you might want to do a search.

Yes. But now it is an "official" NO PANTS poll too.

I read it but I'm just lazy and wanted to look at a poll. I can calculate numbers better than just reading opinions which seemed to say that there all good :) . Of course brewing with no pants just takes care of so many different things its just a necessity.

The problem with this poll that always comes up is that it really is a personal preference and you will probably see more ProMash users because it is the oldest and more well known.

Go download the trials for all the ones you can and make your decision based on what you like to use. I did that and chose Beersmith because I found Promash to clunky and old school.

I voted no pants

I test recipes with Promash and brew No Pants. Promash has handy calculators too. Promash has a free fully functional demo.
Strangebrew is JAVA and free. Easy to install, just drag the folder out of the zipfile and run the strangebrew_fat.jar file.

No love for BeerSmith... for shame. It's my baby.

I think every 3 months there has to be a post about which brewing software is best...
