The android app has less features but useful just on brew day if you want to use the timer function for hops, mash schedule ect.
Often use the cloud feature for storage of recipes as well. I run it on a windows pc and have had zero issues. Maybe I should use the desktop Beersmith for the inventory side.Īlso, do either have an easy way to convert all-grain to extract and vice versa? Or whether Beersmith is definitely the way to go. I guess I'm most interested in whether people have persevered with iBrewmaster 2 and find its extra features useful. I'm also a bit unclear as to whether it keeps track of your different notes when you brew a recipe multiple times. For example, it seems to sometimes list a grain as added after boil when it is not marked as such under the checkbox, or vice versa and needs you to open the grain again and redo the checkbox.
It also seems to have less intuitive equipment setup than Beersmith (which seems to come with good BIAB profiles).īeersmith 2 also has odd glitches at times, mainly around remembering certain settings. IBrewmaster 2 is attractive to me with its inventory and calendar features but in the first weeks of using it, it's wiped my custom recipes once and done other odd things. I'm not sure which to invest my time into learning and setting up. I've been brewing kits and grains for a year, and now easing myself into small-batch BIAB, and have been checking out these apps on my iPad and reading various posts here and elsewhere.īut I haven't found much comparing the two recent versions of iBrewmaster 2 and Beersmith 2, or commenting on the odd glitches I've found on both.
