I bought Beer Alchemy not too long ago as I considered it one of the better apps out there for OS X. After playing with it for some time I'm not thrilled with the fact that exporting to the BeerXML format doesn't export the POTENTIAL Data tag.

Is anyone aware of any Brewing Software that is fully compliant with BeerXML and isn't QBrew? It also has to run on OS X as I'd really prefer to not load up Windows in VMWare Fusion to do recipes.

You could try StrangeBrew Java. It imports BeerXML recipes. It is also a lot more powerful than QBrew.

You might also send this feedback to Kent Place Software. It seems that they have been very responsive to user feedback.

They are responsive, but IME rude. Glad I got my money back.

I think their customer service rocks. I have sent feedback twice and both times it was addressed the next day.

Having looked into it, the POTENTIAL tag isn't a required part of a BeerXML file as defined in the documentation.

http://www.beerxml.com/beerxml.htm

BeerAlchemy exports the YIELD tag which is the required field. As the POTENTIAL tag isn't required it can't really be said that BA isn't fully compliant with the standard because it omits it. Indeed the documentation says
