Cheers Doc sounds just what im after.
Im yet to clue up on a brew programme any preference ?
Most use Beersmith that i read can be a little tricky to master.
Oh well ive allways got you guys to ask my mundane questions.
Thanks again.

Brewmate is your friend. Cheap coz its free, and very easy to use.

No worries Rotten give it a go,looked at at a few it does seem easier than beersmith.

Cheers Wrighty

Wrighty,

Here is a threads about the best brewing software.

Also, if you do a search you'll come up with further threads.

I'll preface this comment by saying that I haven't looked at BrewMate recently ... the brewing software that is right for you depends on what you're looking for it to do. BrewMate is a recipe designer, so if that's all you're looking for then it will be fine. BeerSmith on the other hand has many extra features that you may find handy.

Horses for courses.

Cheers,

Oliver
