![]() Vendors/Potential Vendors, read this before posting Daily Threads ![]() I have been using idrive over 10 years.Welcome those of the fermentation persuasion!īefore making a post, read our posting guidelines If that is the case, and since computer hard drives fail, you might want to look at an encrypted backup service like. I can only speculate based upon rereading your original post is that you feel the word document is further backup in both electronic file and/or paper. I would imagine any notes and items you wanted to type in a word document, you could accomplish with any of the desktop and web based programs. I'm not sure the significance of you wanting to export to a word document. BrewFather's premium edition allows "exporting" to a pdf file. Since BrewFather is web based, there is not any real limitation on printing. I reviewed BrewFather last March and based upon Wayne1 strong recommendation, I'm going to use it along with BS3 for the next few batches or so. The desktop versions of BS3 and web based Brewer's Friend allow you to print, which then you can print to a pdf file to save. BS3 had the capability to "copy" or "move" to another folder. I am frugal.so $6 for BS3 Mobile and a $10 donation to Martin (the free version of Bru'n Water is fine, but $10 is still I searched on the mobile BS3 app and the mobile Brewer's Friend app and neither of them had the capability to export to a word document or even print. The UI of BS3 Mobile kinda sucks, but I can enter a recipe from scratch in 5 minutes and since it is on my phone I can look up recipes on the go or play around while at work. Well, I use Bru'n Water for water chemistry and mash pH BeerSmith seems terrible at predicting the impact of acid additions. I find that once I tuned my equipment and mash profiles, that I get very accurate predictions. My current flow is to use BeerSmith3 Mobile to calculate my core numbers. Once complete, I print out a fresh copy to go into a notebook. I also like that I can print out a copy to write on during brew day (vs trying to use a phone or computer while wet/sticky). I now populate a Word document with my recipe info. I have lost enough recipes and brew session info over the years that I finally decided that I would stop using brewing software as my "source" of data. I have used 3 or 4 different applications/apps over the years. I never could get both programs to agree exactly with each other even though the recipe and equipment setup were the same. During my first year of brewing all grain, I used both programs. I liked (and still do) BF's mobile app over BS. It was easier to understand and use and I liked the program's layout. Good luck in your I have BeerSmith2, BeerSmith3 and Brewer's Friend. However, in my opinion, BS3 is a workhorse. Make no mistake, BF feels updated and more modern. I believe each still give you two weeks free trial of their full version. I suggest you download a free trial of each program and determine what you like best. Thus, I lowered the addition to a more reasonable level. Recently, when I imputed a BS water profile into BF's water calculator, BF indicated one of the addition levels was way too high and suggested it was a health risk. When it comes to pH, I use Mash Made Easy for estimated pH and whether I need acid or baking soda. Plus, there are more water profiles in BS3. BS actually calculates what additions and amounts to add for a particular water profile. With that said, this past year I have used BS3 exclusively except when it comes to acid additions. I have BeerSmith2, BeerSmith3 and Brewer's Friend.
