Does anyone know of any good free brewing software?
Try the free trial from Beersmith. After using it for the month that it's free, you'll gladly pay the $22 to buy it.

The Recipator is the pinnacle of free brewing software IMHO (click the link, then click spreadsheet to get started). I've been brewing for a little while now, and have dropped a fair amount of cash on this and that gizmo, but brewing software is the one thing I really can't justify buying.
I'll admit that Beersmith et al do have some nifty features like inventory, etc -- but I'd much rather spend $20-$30 on more ingredients/equipment and use the recipator, the net, and/or a pen & paper. Don't get me wrong, I'll be the first guy to drop the cash for Beersmith if it genuinely does something that I couldn't get for free elsewhere...but at this point I'm not seeing the justification.
I'd love to try Beersmith but as a Mac user it seems I'm out of luck unless a Mac version comes out someday. (fingers crossed)

I like Beersmith enough that I run it on Windows via Parallels. IMO it's markedly better than the OS X app (Beer Alchemy?).
