I am attempting my first all grain batch this weekend and I was wondering something. What App do you guys suggest for tracking times, water to grain ratios , etc. that I could use on an i OS device? I just want something to help me track the process and keep tabs on everything. Thanks in advance!
I use iBrewMaster on my IPhone, holds all my recipes has a great timer and shows water amounts, among other things…I also like the printout recipe forms from iBrewMaster. Also use BeerSmith that I link from my laptop to it’s app on my phone as well. There are several out there so I’m sure you will find the one you like.
Much like the “best recipe software” question, it depends on what you need/want/UI. Only you can tell which one is the best. Install all you can find and give them a spin.
Its funny you should mention paper and pencil. There is a dude in my old club (late 20’s/early 30’s) who is a systems engineer and a touch OCD. He doesn’t ‘trust’ any brewing apps/software and does ALL his calculations by hand. Raeger formula for IBU’s, everything.
I’ve been thinking about getting the Beersmith 2 app for my smartphone, but can’t bring myself to pay $7.99 for the app…I use beersmith on my laptop, which works just fine. Although, I’d kind of like to upgrade to the newer version at some point. But so far, I haven’t felt the need.
I like BrewAide for Android. You can import BeerSmith recipes from DropBox or SD card. No editing, but it’s handy on brew day.[/quote]
Ah, that’s cool. I’ll check that oot.
