I purchased Beer Tools Pro thinking besides generating a recipe, I could use it to help track, analyze and record data and opinions of my brew from extract to glass.
I've done kits so far, and all I've wanted to track was brew date, OG, Gravity readings/tastings, FG, ABV and comments. I cant find any simple way in BT to organize and track this data for all the brews you have going. I would think they would build in a calendar with reminder functionality, and a better way to track tastings and readings.
The best I can see, is that besides generating and sharing a recipe or searching for one someone else has made, BT doesn't off much organizational benefits for the home brewer.
So, I've resorted to a basic spreadsheet with a tab for each batch for this data.
Am I wrong? Am I missing the point of BT?
