After using it to completely nail my volumes, OG, mash temps, etc. on my last batch, I think brewtarget 1.1 is ready for the public. It is completely free, compatible with Beersmith, and open source. I have provided a windows version, mac version, and the source code at the download page: Download here.
Main Features
Here's a video of the previous version that gives you an idea of what it's about.

When you download it, please go to About->Manual and work through the simple example recipe so that you get to play with most of the features.
Call for Translators
Do you speak fluent English and another language fluently? Please PM me, because I am looking to get translations of this software. All you have to do is translate short phrases from English into the other language(s) that you speak.
Common "issues"
Using mac version, and it crashes before starting up: go here and download the Qt 4.5 free framework.
Why are the equipment volumes in teaspoons: they are not. They are in whatever units you want them to be. Enter 1.0 gal for 1 gallon. Enter 1.0 L for one liter. Enter 2088 mL for 2.088 liters. Enter (pretty much) anything you want. See the about->help.
Thanks, and hope it's useful.
Main Features
- Brewday mode: generates a set of instructions and timers so that you're not running around like crazy on brew day.
- Automatic mash temperature/volume calculations: nail your mash temps and pre-boil volume so that you always end up with the right amount of beer at the end.
- Style checking: make sure you're recipe will meet guidelines.
- Automatic unit conversion: enter and display measurements in whatever units you like. Enter 1.0 gal, 3.785 L, 4 qt, or 768 tsp (for example).
