[barry44]

I use an android app called brewr. Its free and gives good results. On PC, I use brewmate.

[Dave-Leeds]

Cool ill have to have a look at them
cheers

[barry44]

Good stuff. Any issues, let me know

I did an Abbey Ale from the Homebrew Handbook but made a couple of wee hop amendments. I can also vouch for Brewmate, it's really easy to use.
