If I didn't already have it I would. This software is worth every dime.

Already have it and am extremely pleased with it. I would gladly support the cause by buying my future upgrades here.

There is a bit of a steep learning curve with BeerSmith but once you get the hang of it I don't think there is any better brewing software. The suite of tools/calculators is extremely helpful. I have always had excellent support from BeerSmith too.

already got it, both desktop and the mobile versions

I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."

Seems like most people already have it. I guess the main reason I don't is because it costs. On a limited budget here for a while, but if the price were right, I would definitely consider it! Thanks Lou!

If I end up doing it the cost would be about $18 to $20 verses the $28 normally.

I use 3-4 different software right now (all free) to try and see what I like but never been overly impressed with any.

I hear alot about Beer-Smith but since I do limited BIAB, PM, and extract seemed brews it did not seem worth the cost since is more designed for AG Mash style brewing which my location makes this not a good option.

I guess if cheap enough might consider. But if I need to keep paying every year or so for updates then it would be not worth it

I voted yes. I have it already on the other computer that won't let me on this site. So at $20 I'd buy the latest to put on this one.
I do love me some BeerSmith software. :banana:

Already have it and use it for BIAB. Started with Qbrew but now couldn't do without Beersmith anymore. Agree that it does need quite a bit of tweaking, but once you get it right, it is pretty consistent.

I would buy it. I don't see a place to vote but put me in the " if the price were right column."
