On PC, many people seem to like Promash.

There is a free calculator at hopville.com.

I used Beer Alchemy once to test it (and still have it), but have now got BeerSmith 2 on the Mac and it looks better, i think.

[quote="Trunky"] As for mead, cyser, pyment and all the other abominations they should not be in a beer competition either. Maybe Mead shouldn't be in a beer competition, but it isn't an abomination - it is what we are all destined to nonchalantly sip in heaven between kegs of real AG beer...

I love the Ke...

Re: Introduce yourself...

I am looking forward to making this hobby more 'social' and look forward to crossing bottles in the near future.

Re: Introduce yourself...

Hello! My name is Barnaby, I am 33, and I have been brewing kits and making Turbo Cider for about 15 months now, but am growing frustrated with the lack of flexibility with kit beers. I have JUST started building (and it will be slow!) my first AG brewery and I intend to be brewing all-grain from Ja...
