(BeerSmith Steps above)ĭo you have a clue on whats i’m doing wrong? I dont know whats going on, but when I load the bsmx file in my BeerSmith, keeping your original equipment profile and without changing anything, the profile of the beer shown by beersmith if very different, like 102 IBU and 5.3% ABV. I just hope that the software reviews I’ve done provide some information to help you make an educated choice for you.Congrats for the blog, this recipe looks great, I will try to brew it here in Brazil. Other’s prefer other programs and that’s fine too. ![]() I think that the new version can be close to perfect for me and I’ll be happy with it. I use mine just about daily and have designed award winning beers using it. For the price of $27.95 once it releases it’s a lot of software for the money. would it be hard to have a beer glass and color it? Have no fear, June 10th BeerSmith is releasing a new version that corrects some bugs as well as adding a lot of new features including support for MACs. Other issues I have with the software (see, it’s not perfect either) are not being able to have multiple recipes open and that small color window. You have to cut and paste them where you want (unless there’s a setting I’m missing). They don’t go into your recipe database automatically. Now there are a couple quirks with importing recipes. Importing (and exporting) in a batch is very easy with a single click and instant importation. BeerSmith can import and export from it’s proprietary BeerSmith format as well as import/export in BeerXML format for international standards. It’s just a nice visual to help keep track of the brews.īeerSmith also includes your standard brewing calculators as we as conversion tools to go between US and Metric units. If that takes 3 weeks then it’ll be a month before I start aging. Of course nothing is set in stone when it comes to brewing and I start aging a week after fermentation is done. For me I like to set a 14 day primary time, no secondary time and then 4 weeks of aging time. You can schedule brew days and based on the recipe it will indicate days that you should be in primary fermentation, any secondary time and then the time when the beer should be aging. Entering this information will instantly provide you with not only the alcohol % by volume (%abv) but it also provides you with an estimated calories per pint of beer.īeerSmith also has a brewing calendar that shows you what is going on with your brewing. There are boxes for you to input your actual OG and FG. As you add grain the estimated color box changes color to indicate the color of the finished beer based on the information in the grain database. Adding grain will cause the estimated SG to increase based on the efficiency you set. ![]() There’s even a button for your equipment and mash preferences. Adding grain, hops, and yeast is as simple as clicking the button. This will populate a portion of the sheet showing you the style minimum and maximum and if the value is in bold it is out of range for the style. ![]() You give it a name (default is Beer) then select a style from the BJCP guidelines. When creating a new recipe you start with a blank recipe sheet. Need to track how a beer is doing and don’t want to mess with the original recipe? Add it to the brew log and make changes there leaving the original untouched. Brew 5 gallon beers but thinking of stepping up to 10 gallons? No problem, click scale recipe and increase or decrease all you want. Simple isn’t it? There’s a button to convert from All Grain to Partial Mash or Extract and vise versa. To create a new recipe, you click the button that says new recipe. BeerSmith in my opinion takes all the good features of other programs and weeds out the useless portions and stick them all together in a easy to use package. What I like or dislike about the software are my opinions and like everything else, what I like might not be what you like.īeerSmith is a brewing software that will allow you to design custom crafted beers as well as beers that follow the BJCP guidelines. I am not paid at all or provided with free versions of the software. Disclaimer- This is my own personal thoughts and feelings about this software package.
