Beersmith still Alive?

@Bobby_M

Do you like BS3 over 2 or is there not much difference?

What version is that? How did you choose it? Have you tried beersmith or others?

Here's what I have used for the past 20 some years. I have looked at some of the newer programs but since all my recipes are in PM and it still works just fine for me I haven't seen any compelling reason to change.

I'm using Beersmith v.3 and I'm happy with it.

I used ProMash for quite a while until they pulled the plug. Switched to BS ver1 and haven’t turned back. Like the interface, and Brad Smith actively supports and improves the program. Sometimes the code seems a little bloated (runs slow on my MacAIR, though less so on my desktop Mac)

BeerSmith is still alive - I launched the web based version (which you can use from any device, even mobile) well over a year ago, and I'm working on continued desktop improvements.

Also regarding the "session" issue: What I do is brew a recipe, keep track of it in the recipe notes and "actuals" fields, then use the Copy to Brew Log button to save a copy of the recipe to my brew log. Next time I brew I will bump the version number and brew date to match the new date and record again, then copy to brew log.

This way my brew log folder contains a list of all recipes "as brewed" and has dates and version numbers.

Is the copy to brew log button available on BeerSmithRecipes.com? I don’t see it.

I do something like you are saying. I have manually created a brew log folder and I move brewed recipes there. When I want to rebrew a recipe I go to the log and make a copy.

That is at the very top of my "to do" list for the web version so I expect to add it soon.
