For those of you that have been struggling to formulate new recipes or just wont to know what the result will be with any combination of grains; ie : colour, specific gravity, bitterness, even down to the amount of water needed to sparge out - well, here's the program for you, and it's absolutely free.
http://www.brewmate.net/
Brewmate lets you build a recipe from the ground up, by using the drop down menus you can quickly and easily add different grains, hops and yeasts. All come with their relative data - like their potential extract values for grains, alpha acid levels for hops and fermentation temps for the yeasts.
With loads of variables you can tailor BrewMate to your system, changing mash temps and times, boil duration, even loss during boil. There is also a mash timer and a boil timer with pop up alarms to tell you when to make additions, along with a brew day sheet containing water amounts and temps and expected losses and...too much info to list here.
There is an "add notes" section which allows you to put additional info on the end of the recipe but wont be included in the actual recipe make up.
All your recipes can be saved in BrewMate and even uploaded to the site if you wish to. Currently there are over 500 recipes you can download, all of which have been added by BrewMate users.
The BrewMate pages are all fully printable and take a lot of the headaches out of crafting beers.
I highly recommend it.
