I use a blindfold and dice

Apparently, that stuff sells like hot cake on YouTube.

I use Beerfather as well. But will admit I am still trying to get my feet wet with BIAB method and my efficiency number. So, I have missed the gravity readings on the recipe's I have put in. Also, I have not taken full advantage of the tools they provide.

Same here. I don't dislike or ever hated Beersmith. I just felt like it was clunky to me compared to Brewfather. I used Beersmith for a while (v2) until moving over to Brewfather.

I probably would have stayed with Beersmith, but I was able to get a free code through my brew club for Brewfather, so I have it free for a year. The biggest advantage for me is the shared platform and the ability to track a Tilt device, which is something I would like to get in the near future. The biggest and only negative I have is when running the timers on BF during a brew day, they go inactive if I don't keep my phone from going to sleep mode. I almost missed a hop addition because of that.

I just ordered a Tilt Pro today and am looking forward to adding it to Brewfather! That's an unfortunate problem about the timer issue. I keep my small laptop up and running for the brew day. Maybe you could try plugging your phone in to charge and see if that keeps it from sleeping.

I use BrewFather, I like the format and the mobile app. Can use the phone outside at my brew location.
