I use Beersmith. I haven't really found any negatives to it. It will make a shopping list for your recipes and a brew schedule for you. The schedule comes in handy for me when I need certain mash temps and can't remember. I know its made my brewing a lot easier. Plus, its fun just to make up recipes.

I know that I listen to the bersmith podcast and that it is really well done. I also know that there is a book that just came out on brewing with beersmith. While I have not personally tried any software, I think this is one that I will pick up.

As an alternative, you should contact Kevin and get a login to the opensource web brewing software we have on our site.

I've recently started using BrewR software on my Android phone. It certainly isn't as sophisticated as others, but it has all the basics and a brew-day timer in my pocket :) and it's free, to boot!

I use BeerSmith. The new version is way better than the old and with a few add-ons I havent' noticed anything it doesn't do.
I know a lot of people use ProMash as well.I tried the ASH software and it was also pretty good, but I forgot my log-in so went back to BeerSmith.

I am not using any software, so I am contacting Kevin, to give the ASH software a try. Thanks for the info.

I just started all-grain brewing (3rd batch in the fermenter yesterday) and I use Beersmith 2.0. The key to using that software is getting your equipment profile dialed-in. I'm still working on that. Yesterday's brew, my BG was 4 points high, but I was shooting for a 1.065 BG and hit it at 1.063. I probably could have boiled for another 10 min, because I know I had just a little more wort than I needed. Once I get my losses nailed, I think the software will definitely give me some consistency for each and every brew!
Enjoy,
Sam
