Anyone use brew toad? thoughts? goods/bads?

it seems like you only get one equipment profile but unlimited recipe storage, scale recipes ect....

I use it. Actually, I have since back when it was Hopville and then Brewtoad took it over. I liked Hopville, so some of the changes have been better than others.

Pros:
It's free (I'm a cheap bastid.)
Unlimited storage
Online access -- easy to get to from anywhere, easy to share recipes.
Auto-scaling is convenient, although I don't really mess with it much.
Calculations have generally seemed accurate for me (but see below).

Cons:
Occasional rounding errors (things will look one way while editing, and different once I save the recipe).
Doesn't calculate IBUs for flameout or whirlpool hop additions.
Ingredient searching occasionally seems a little wonky.

Honestly, I don't mess with water chemistry much aside from campden tablets. I just add a couple of ounces of acidulated malt for saisons or other lighter styles.
