Are people still using Beersmith? I have all my stuff in Beersmith in an old XP computer I resurrected. If Beersmith is no longer favored, what is, and can I move my recipes to it from Beersmith without typing it all in?

Quality calculations, modern UI, unlimited recipes at low (or no) price: pick two.GUI abominations
that's good news. My licensed finally expired otherwise I'd take it for a spin. The overview video looks good. Still uses a work around to separate the recipe from the batches to keep the original recipe when you tweak a batch. Otherwise I'm glad he's been able to keep up with the change in technology. Having the largest group of users is a big advantage.Still on BeerSmith for me, Version 3. They do have a web version now also. I also have dabbled with Brewfather over the last year, but keep going back to the OG.
You can use the desktop to create a cloud recipe (or the web version) and access that from either the BeerSmith Web version on your phone (just log into BeerSmithRecipes.com to run BeerSmith from your phone browser) or you can open it in the BeerSmith app.If Beersmith could link my phone and laptop when formulating a recipe, that would be golden. I like be able to setup up a recipe on my laptop, and be able to see it on my phone when I'm downstairs about to start the brew day.
I still use Promash! I haven't gone to win 11 yet but I expect Promash to continue to work with it too.I have fond memories of Beersmith 1.7. 2.0, 3.0 are GUI abominations. Many improvements though, so I suffer through it.
Brad Smith has been a great supporter of the the brewing hobby, with both his software and podcasts. Glad he won over the moribund (dead?) Promash, the previous champ.

Here's what I have used for the past 20 some years. I have looked at some of the newer programs but since all my recipes are in PM and it still works just fine for me I haven't seen any compelling reason to change.What version is that? How did you choose it? Have you tried beersmith or others?

Is the copy to brew log button available on BeerSmithRecipes.com? I don’t see it.BeerSmith is still alive - I launched the web based version (which you can use from any device, even mobile) well over a year ago, and I'm working on continued desktop improvements.
Also regarding the "session" issue: What I do is brew a recipe, keep track of it in the recipe notes and "actuals" fields, then use the Copy to Brew Log button to save a copy of the recipe to my brew log. Next time I brew I will bump the version number and brew date to match the new date and record again, then copy to brew log.
This way my brew log folder contains a list of all recipes "as brewed" and has dates and version numbers.
That is at the very top of my "to do" list for the web version so I expect to add it soon.Is the copy to brew log button available on BeerSmithRecipes.com? I don’t see it.
