For a variety of reasons I've been away from brewing for a couple years and am reassembling my setup. I'll probably be doing my first batch in a while next weekend.
What is currently considered best-of-breed software for Mac (or web)? I used to use BeerSmith and like many others I have a love-hate relationship with the user interface and complexity. I just downloaded the latest version and it appears not much has changed.
Is there something else to consider? I do all-grain so I definitely appreciate the software doing lots of calculation legwork (e.g. equipment profiles, strike water volumes & temps, end-to-end efficiency calculators). Lots of brewing software recently seems to basically just be glorified recipe apps.
Am I stuck with BeerSmith forever???
(Bonus-points for any software that has a *useful* iPhone app. Even the BeerSmith one just seems to be basically a recipe viewer, not really helpful during brew day.)
