The website has a forum. I learned mostly by trial and error, you will pick it up in a day or two. Any specific questions?

I did purchase BS and think it was worth it. It is not, IMO, intuitive to use. Still wandering through it trying to figure out what goes where, how to see this or that. |

Before you can expect any accuracy, you need to enter your brewery specs. Then play with it. Spend some time on this forum and on the Beersmith forum. It took me most of the trial period to get the hang of it and I'm still learning more about it. Its well worth the $20. Don't get discouraged.
