I'm testing the beta for the next release of BeerAlchemy. I'm not sure when the designer plans to release it, but some of the new features are pretty flippin' cool. More calculators (including volumes of CO2 based on style of beer - my personal favorite), more choices for times of hop and extract additions to the boil, and a pretty slick shopping section that will post out a recipe's ingredients list in a printable page and will even let you send it as an email order to your favorite HBS. He's also working on code that will import/convert recipes from some of the big PC programs. He uses the program for his own AG brewing, so he has an interest in adding newer, better features as fast as he can come up with them.bobbyc said:Try BeerAlchemy. It's a pretty new product, but I've been enjoying it so far - looks like it will get even better as updates are made.

I've downloaded them and am trying them out. I also found this one in case you folks may be interested

The Beer Alchemy one looks very nice, but I am still running Panther on my main box. I found that until recently (10.4.4), Tiger was not as stable as I needed it to be and I had problems with sleep. If any of you are computer geeks, drop me a line and I will tell you more.
I really like BeerAlchemy, works great.DrewsBrews said:I'm testing the beta for the next release of BeerAlchemy.

If you prefer to use programs that run on your Mac natively, take a serious look at this one. I sure like it.
Side note: it only runs on Tiger because he used features that are only available in that version of OS X.
