Brew calculators for PDA's?

preferably freeware...


Yes In know, PDA's (and specifically palm Pllots) are so 20th century! But I have one. I have the 3 calulators that promash offers (Strike temp, alch calc. and hydro correction)

I have looked for more; yes even here, but not come up with any. I know of one recipe formulator but frankly it is not much good compared to what I have on the desktop (beer Alchemy). I realize not many people are making software for these dinosaurs anymore but thought I would check. It is handy to have with me at the brew rig since my wife won't let me borrow her laptop

Just want some more "games" I guess.

Anybody even heard of a palm pilot?

I have heard of the Palm but don't know of any brew software developed for it's use. All I could have done is told you to get the ProMash tools but, youve done that already.

I have been trying to justify getting a mini-laptop (~400.00) so that I can have a full version of BeerSmith running in teh same room as me. I just can't seem to bring myself to take the laptop out there and risk it.

Good question - I found "Brewculator 1.0.3 Free" for Palm OS, I need for one for Windows Mobile 6...

Download Brewculator 1.0.3 Free

I haven't tried it as I don't have anything with Palm on it anymore.

Take a look at the asus eee pc. Thats what I have, Im running linux with strangebrew. Works well, just get the silicone keyboard cover. Asus's can be had <$300

On a side note, I just ordered a xv6900 (HTC Touch) running windows mobile, and I am too, looking for more 'games' for it. A database for tasting beers would be nice too!

Yeah, I am also interested in something for my palm pilot as well

"Brew Math" for the iPhone (available through iTunes) works really well. Same company makes a great Mac application as well.

I had Palm Pilot but donated it to the Smithsonian Museum of American History.

I've messed about with brewculator a bit. It's OK but not great, it hasn't been updated since 2003. I've toyed with the idea of writing something myself but that would take away from something else, like actually brewing.

hey don't knock it, my treo is actually based on the palm platform...

I found one here:
Brew Builder v.3

I haven't tried it yet, but it looks adequate.

That looks interesting but it runs on top of dataviz's "Smart List To Go" product which costs $50.

Just bought a palm on ebay that can run both of these.. and "found" a copy of smartlist to go..

ill give a review later.. maybe a video..
