+1 software helps a lot. Before BeerSmith i would use this free software: The Beer Recipator 2.2 and it was pretty good for being free.

I have been looking for a software like that, I just downloaded the Mac user BeerAlchemy program. The good news is, I won't have to write it down by hand and then enter it into a spread sheet! This is awesome!

I have heard that BeerSmith is a good one. It is probably the one I would get if I could step away from my 3 ring binder with printed spreadsheets! I just have not been able to make the leap yet.
