![]() BeerSmith can estimate and use volumes for juices and honey to make it easier to measure your ingredients. To add grape juice or honey all you need to know is its sugar content (Brix level) or drop a hydrometer in and enter the specific gravity. Honey, juice and wine are now native fermentable ingredients which means you can use them in your beer recipe as well. Equipment profiles, fermentation profiles and dozens of new calculations were added to support these recipe types, including stand-alone and integrated tools for things like sulfite levels in wine and mead, mead nutrient calculations and backsweetening. Many hundreds of new ingredients were added to support these including juices, fruits, honey varieties, misc ingredients, fermentables, and much more. The style guides are included for beer, mead, wine and cider. Just open up a new recipe, select “mead” (for example) and start adding honey, fruit, yeast and nutrients. The new version of BeerSmith supports mead, wine and cider recipe types in the same way that it supports all-grain, extract and partial mash beer recipe types making BeerSmith an all-in-one solution. Add-ons are filterable by type so it is much easier to manage them. For example you can download an add-on or create a new ingredient while you are building a recipe right from the “add ingredient” dialog. We also reorganized the entire program making hard to find features more accessible. Even the brew day reports are now customized for the type of beverage you are working with. On all of the dialogs, you see material that is relevant to your type of beverage and not a bunch of extra stuff. This approach is carried throughout the program, so when you add a new fruit or juice, you are simply asked the brix (sugar) content and a few other fields and not a bunch of stuff about dry grain fine yield (applicable for grains). If I changed the type to Extract, it would show me the additional boil options for making an extract beer. It shows just the options you would expect – basic volumes for starting the mead, fermentation losses, final volume and notes. For example the dialog to the right is for a mead equipment profile. So I made the dialogs and screens dynamic now. For example you might see all grain features highlighted when creating a simple equipment profile for extract brewing. Some users found BeerSmith 2 to be daunting, because it showed everything all the time. Boil adjustments for high altitude brewers, adjustments for sparge water profiles, new session tools and features for brewers of all types. ![]() A secure connection to the cloud for both desktop and mobile to protect your brewing data and recipes.Folders in the cloud and more cloud space for most users making it easy to organize, backup, share and use your data online.A ton of new data including popular hops, malts, fruits, juices, honey, style guides for mead, wine and cider. ![]()
