There's a lot of competition out there when it comes to recipes and calculator software, and where you go will make a difference in the beer you make. Through recipes, accurate calculators, and dependable software we can brew the best beer we are capable of, so I'm happy to let you guys all know of some real big changes that recently happened at Brewer's Friend.
First, I have come on to be the full time tech support for Brewer's Friend. My name is Josh Smith, and I am the creator of Brewprint. I have been a brewer for 5 years, and as a brewer I know the technologies and features from a brewer's perspective, which leads me into my second point.
The Brewer's Friend and Brewprint databases have been merged creating one of the largest accumulations of beer recipes on the net, with over 190,000 recipes so far. More recipes means you're going to find the recipe that's right for you. Brewer's Friend now has more than 37,000 brewers as well, so you're sure to find someone to collaborate with or discuss your recipe ideas. I highly encourage you to browse our recipes to see what I'm saying.

To start, over the last month, I've migrated the Brewer's Friend site onto brand new servers, along with upgrading the underlying platforms (Apache & PHP) on which the software runs. This means you'll be able to load your recipes, find inspiration, and browse for beer faster than ever.
Honestly, Brewer's Friend has an incredible feature set that rivals commercial brewery software. With inventory management, equipment profiles, advanced water chemistry calculations, and brew session tracking (just to name a few), the tool set has everything you need to make professionally delicious beer.
Furthermore, Brewer's Friend will be incorporating a lot of the features that made Brewprint so great, like information pages covering recipes, styles, and equipment. Recipes will also come with a quick and easy "buy" button that will go all over the net looking for the best places to get your supplies.
I will also be developing new features at the request of members and users, so please be sure to visit the Brewer's Friend forum to let me know more about what you would like to see from your Brewer's Friend. I've compiled all existing requests and feedback into a new feature tracking system so we don't lose track of your awesome ideas and we can get them scheduled and built. Keep up the brainstorming in the forum here:

This is a new age for Brewer's Friend and Brewprint, and I'm both happy and excited to be leading the charge.
