The reason for this is that I’m planning to rewrite these to move to a transaction based inventory system which will be much better for managing your inventory. The two main items not in the upcoming web version yet are the inventory/shopping views and the calendar. This same feature can be used on other computers to more easily move custom profiles and ingredients across several systems. Using this updated desktop version you can go to any profile or ingredient view and click on Exchange Items and it will show the items locally and on the cloud (duplicates are greyed out) and let you upload or download any item easily.
Like the desktop, you can access and edit profiles and ingredients from the various Profiles and Ingredients menus on the menu bar.Īlso I have an update to the desktop version of BeerSmith (version 3.2) coming which will allow you to exchange profiles and ingredients easily with the web version. Also all of the add-ons from the desktop and mobile versions are available on the web version with just a few clicks of the mouse. The web based version of BeerSmith includes all of the base ingredients and profiles when you load it up.
This gives you the full power of the BeerSmith Recipe designer from any device.Īnother important feature of the mobile web version is the inclusion of printing, specifically the recipe and brew sheet can be printed easily by clicking on the Actions button near the top of the editing dialog. In addition the mobile web layouts have the fully functional web editor including all of the recipe design tools and the important water profile, mash pH and other advanced tools previously not available on the mobile platform.
The mobile web layouts have all of the tabs you would find on the desktop or full size web based version, making it easy for existing users to find the feature they want. For tablets, the desktop layouts above are used, but for phones, the full recipe editor feature including the various tabs are scaled down to fit your device. The mobile web based editor can be reached by logging into (once released) from your mobile device. The familiar OK, Cancel and Save buttons along the top let you save or discard your current changes, and a simple undo button will undo your latest addition or adjustment.Īs with the desktop program, the estimated color, bitterness, gravity and other parameters are constantly updated as you design your recipe, and a style guide comparison is shown near the bottom comparing your selected style against the recipe itself as you build. The layout has been cleaned up and simplified, with the most common functions for adjusting recipes along the top along with access to printing the recipe or brew sheet. Recipe building is done from the design dialog shown above. The recipe editor shares an almost identical layout to the BeerSmith desktop program, including tabs along the top for calculating yeast starters, water profiles, mash schedules, the brewday timer, session data, notes and volumes.
Clicking on the recipe itself brings up the recipe editor. You can also export a recipe to a BSMX file.
A 30 day trial is available for non-license holders.įrom here you can access your cloud based recipes and folders, copy, move, and duplicate items, print a recipe or brew steps or delete recipes using the drop down menu on the right for each item. You enter the web based editor by simply clicking on Recipes on the toolbar or using the Recipe Editor button on the sidebar of the home screen of.
It is modeled after the desktop version of BeerSmith, but uses a single click interface to support touch based devices (like an iPad or Android tablet) instead of the select-action model the desktop uses. The core of the upcoming release is the web based recipe editor. A 30 day free trial will be available for basic users or those who don’t yet have a BeerSmith 3 license. The new app is designed to work from both mobile and large screen devices. When released, you can simply log into your existing account and edit recipes in your cloud account from any browser. It will be available to all Gold+ license holders of BeerSmith 3. This week I wanted to share a more detailed look at the upcoming Web based version of BeerSmith which is scheduled for release in June of 2021.
