Best Brewing Software... For Mac?

Aside from Beer Tools, is there any other software for Mac? And what is best?
Thanks!

I made a custom spreadsheet with all the equations I've run into over the years. Grimmy's site is very helpful if you take this approach. Homebrew Beer Math |

Are you finding any problems with BTP? I use it and like it a lot.

No, I havent purchased it - I just wanted to see what other options I had before doing so.

Just went over to the Beer Alchemy site, looks good - any complaints?
Has anyone used both Beer Alchemy and Beer Tools?
EDIT - just found the thread comparing the two. Thanks for the replies!

Not quite what you want to hear, but I think Beersmith via Parallels is the best option out there.

I have heard wonders about Beersmith... unfortunately setting up parallels just for beer software is a little beyond my (wallet's) reach.
Thanks for the suggestion though!

I tried both, and just ended my 30 day trial. I have to say that I'm probably going to go with Beer Alchemy, but one thing I did like about BTP was that they had a forum which made me feel connected with other users. I haven't seen that for BA.
Also, try Brewtarget. Why not, it's free, and there's a Mac version (as long as you install the QT libraries first, also free)?! It's a very young project, but it's moving right along.
