Good brewing software for Mac
 
What's the word on brewing software for a Mac? Anyone using anything good for a mac?

BeerAlchemy. In my opinion the best out there.

BeerAlchemy again

I've got Beer Alchemy and Beer Tools Pro. They are both awesome in their own way, and both have their own unique little annoyances. Can't go wrong either way, in my opinion.

Or you could try Brew Target, which is open source (free). It does about 90% of what the commercials apps do. The main thing it doesn't do is inventory management. I actually think Brew Target's mash designer is more intuitive than either Beer Alchemy or Beer Tools Pro.

Thanks guys. By the time I get done buying everything over the years for brewing beer my wife is going to kill me.

My local brew supply was having a food drive, which was a perfect excuse for the wife, and for me to head over and get some more goodies. I told them they should have a food drive at least once a month :)

I've been using BeerAlchemy. BeerSmith is working on a Mac version, but it keeps getting delayed, so not sure if you wanna wait for that.

Beer Alchemy hands down. I've tried all the different Mac software options and Beer Alchemy is by far my favorite

Another beeralchemy here. I like the iphone/touch app for brew day.

The best thing about BeerAlchemy is the support. If you submit feedback they are on it. I had an issue where "Suggest a Beer" did not detect my stock of glacier hops. Sent feedback and 2 days later issue resolved.

Tried BA for a while, gave up when I just couldn't make the mash module produce temperatures that jibed with what I was getting in the MLT.
