Fun Fast and Easy to Use

Three years in the making – BeerSmith 2 has been redesigned from the ground up to give it a modern look and feel with ribbons, themes and tabbed browsing. Its designed to make your brewing as easy to use as possible.

Tabbed Browsing

BeerSmith 2 has been updated with tabbed browsing to make it easy to work with as many recipes and tools as you like. Tabbed browsing lets you open many recipes and tools at the same time and work with them in separate tabs. Users with large screens or multiple monitors can also open items in separate windows.

Macintosh and Windows

BeerSmith 2 is available for the first time on the Macintosh platform (all intel-based Macs with OSX/10.5/Leopard or higher) as well as Windows 7, Vista and XP. The Macintosh and PC versions are nearly identical, and share common file formats including BeerSmith 1.x support.

Build Recipes Quickly

Building a recipe in BeerSmith is as easy as picking ingredients off a list. Hundreds of preloaded ingredients are available including grains, hops, yeasts, misc ingredients and waters. As you add ingredients, the color, gravity and bitterness are updated automatically.

Match your Favorite Beer Styles

Choose from nearly 100 beer styles in our extensive BJCP style guide. BeerSmith graphically shows color, bitterness, gravity and alcohol comparisons against the style as you build your recipe.

Brewing from Beginner to Expert

BeerSmith’s new design tab lets you design great extract recipes. However, we also have advanced support for all grain brewing, mashing, batch sparging, brew-in-a-bag and more. Additional tabs can display over 100 details about your recipe and brewing session.

Metric and International Language Support

BeerSmith’s 2 supports english, metric and imperial units and has improved support for foreign currencies and number formats. BeerSmith 2 has improved support for foreign languages and several volunteer teams working on foreign language versions of BeerSmith.
