One key difference between the two is that Brewfather is a cloud application meaning that regardless of what device I log on with, the data is the same because it is the same application and instance. I have used both Beersmith 3 and Brewfather.
I don’t think so - to me it’s going to last. Some people think that brewers friend is good for starting out, but you need to upgrade when you get more experienced. The recipe editor, water calcs, recipe library, forum, and inventory mgt all work well and work together. A few years ago that wouldn’t have been the case, but now I’m happy with it. I recently lost a lot of recipes on Beersmith due my laptop crashing, and that turned me away. The biggest thing is it just needs a complete overhaul to web interface. The water calcs are worse in my opinion than what is available on either Brewfather or Brewer’s Friend, but it is workable. Also, extract brewing with specialty grains is not handled well - so Brewfather is a no go.īeersmith is a good program, and the recipe database is good. Many recipes, and the grain bills, are not in English, and that is frustrating. I’m not trying to bash here, it’s just that the ingredient database seems to be include grains from Europe mostly likewise the recipe library. I don’t know how to specifically explain it, but it’s too “European” for me. I tried, but I just don’t like Brewfather. I brew mostly all grain, with an occasional extract brew, and my standard batch size is 3.25g this I am small batch!
I have used Beersmith 3, Brewfather, and Brewers Friend, trying to figure out which one suits my game the best. The real value of brewing software is when you calibrate all of your equipment (to be able to accurately predict the brewday), manage your ingredient inventory, etc.Ī buddy of mine is still using ProMash. Now, to be clear, if someone's main purpose is simply a recipe database, *any* software will work. That said, I haven't found it to be wanting for anything when it first came out, and especially when 2.0 was released, it was light years ahead of anything else on the market (especially for Mac users, where options were always limited) A new update (2.11) was recently released, and IIRC this was the first new update in several years. On the downside, Beer Tools Pro is not maintained to the same degree as the others. I'm not convinced Beersmith or Brewfather (the only others I would consider if I had to switch today) do anything that is significantly better, and they are much harder on the eyes (especially BeerSmith, which is just fugly.) I use Beer Tools Pro, and still feel like it's the best brewing software out there (functionality, GUI, etc.).
