Beer Tools Pro is willing to port their Mac/Win software to Linux if they can get 100 votes. It already in the 60's. Lets push it over and then some!

How does it compare to promash? I haven't brewed in years, but I was a brewer for years. IIRC there were a few unix/linux written ones, and a few java-based ones (fermsoft?) that were pretty good, too. I've never used beertools - how's it stack up?

I miss those days, hanging around on the HBD and drinking lots of fresh home brew...

Homebrewer's recipe calculator. I needed one so I wrote one. Use this to formulate recipes for ales, lagers and stouts. It also includes a brewing primer for those just starting out in the homebrewing hobby. QBrew builds and runs under Unix (Linux, BSD, Solaris, etc), Mac OSX and Windows. See a screenshot of QBrew in action.

Dunno, I use Linux, not Windows. I havent bought the Mac version yet. Seeing that a linux one is looming on the horizon, I think I can hold off.

Yeah - qbrew is what I was talking about!

FWIW, promash used to run great under wine.
