Default Beer Software - For Extract Brewing

so I downloaded the trial for Beersmith and played with it for awhile, it seems to be gears for all grain brewing. I want to go the all grain route eventually. But right now I am an extract brewer. Beersmith (trial version) does not have hardly any extracts listed so I can't play and tweek as much as I want.

Any one know of another software friendly to extract brewers?

I used to use it all the time with extract. And never used the "malt packs" that moto suggested. Basically extract is extract. In the basic grain extrac pull down it lists all the extracts, liquid and dry, not specific brands but for example, amber dme, extra light dme, every category is covered, that and the steeping grains is all you really need to create extract and extract with grain recipes.


What specifically are you missing? You will probably find it in those extension packs.
