Lastly, I would like to give a brief description of each package. I have not used every package listed here, but reading reviews and browsing through free trials I have come up with the following. Brewtargetīrewtarget is an open-source software with a great set of tools.
It gives you a lot of control when it comes to designing your recipe. The software automatically calculates the color, bitterness, gravity, and ABV. It does priming calculations, OG corrections, pitch rates, refractometer calculations, brew day timers, and much more. Beersmith 2īeerSmith is by far one of the most used pieces of software in the homebrewing community. Its tool set is very robust and once it is set up for your brewing style and equipment, its calculations are very accurate.
It was very hard not to compare all of the other options to BeerSmith as it is what I use every brew day.
