its strainge this thread has come back from the dead. it would appear that some eating of words is required, i have desided that although promash is better in its eze of use and intuitiveness, i have descovered that beersmith, if used correctly is a lot better, and i am going to have to say this programme rocks.

Yeah, I too am now eating my words on the whole "colour thang". If it's that easy to brew within the colour range, why not ?

now who's been had
i liked beersmith so much i recently bought it!.. & i havent bought a computer prog in years.
I can even tell my mates that the beer they are swilling is within style guidelines.
style guidelines are the thing i find most frustrating about these programs.. i guess theyre just there as a guide but sometimes i find i get a little carried away trying to brew to style in stead of my own taste..
welcome to the world of computerised recipe gen Evo

No. The style guidelines are what I like about the program. That way I can think "I wanna brew a beer along the lines of _____ ". I then make a recipe based on that style with faith that it will come out tasting a bit like it.
So I think the guidelines are good. Gives you a good starting point.

I'm with Evo, I bought Beersmith as well and have been enjoying tinkering with recipes to see what comes out!
The ability to tinker within a style is an obvious benefit!!

Faith that the manufacturer of a certain brand of the certain style that you trying to reproduce has also stuck to the style guidelines?
but yes you are right it does give you a starting point.

Anyone have a template for a brew log in excel?
Am thinking about maybe migrating it to a proper database down the track.
