I just started using Brewer's Friend. (I was previously using BeerSmith and BrewTarget.) I like that the software web-based, so I can reference it at homebrew club meetings or brew sessions at a friend's house. **Features:** - Recipe calculator including expected OG and FG, IBUs, SRM color, and other common measures of a beer. (This includes multiple formulas/methods for calculating each.) - Recipe scaling. - Water conditioning calculator for areas with regionally variable water supplies. - Shopping and brewday checklists. - Batch logs for entering gravity, tasting notes, volume collected, etc. - Tracker for progress of batch. - Style guides. **Disadvantages:** - The recipe base is rather scant at this point. - Unit conversions between imperial and metric (temp, volume, etc) are a little clunky. - No mobile phone interface. **Advantages:** - Portable. Create a recipe at work, view it at home, brew it at a friend's house. - Under active development. New features seem to come around frequently. Disclaimer: I'm a web developer who found this homebrew site through some of the web development siblings on the Stack Exchange network. I appreciate that Brewer's Friend is a small start-up site under active development and that probably colors my view.
