Hi, I have just downloaded Beersmith 3 (trial 21 days) and I cannot see how you change from U.S. Units to Metric units. The online videos show a preferences tab in Beersmith 2 and how to completely change to metric settings, but I cannot see this anywhere in Beersmith 3.

At the bottom of the "Tools" menu is "Options" click in there and the second option is then "Units" - so you can have metric or even some weird mix!

I'm 14 days into my trial, it does look quite good although I'm not sure I'd use all the features.

Have a look at Brewfather before you commit, it’s a much more modern package IMO.

I would second Brewfather, I find it easier to use and setup than beersmith

Thanks, I’ll take a look at Brewfather too, yet to commit to anything to replace my sprawling set of spreadsheets,

Both suffer from the US obsession with water treatment only being possible using Lactic or Phosphoric acid. Beersmith is a lot more sophisticated (read harder to learn) where Brewfather benefits from being simpler and has some nice touches that BS hasn't. Weapon of choice is still BS for me.

I've given Brewfather a go this week & quite like it's setup. Easy enough to use.

I do have a preference for offline apps that I can use on my phone. So Wort (android) is still my go to starting point.

You can use brewfather offline on your phone, it’s a web app, just save it to your home screen

The iSpindal integration is very cool too. It makes BS3 look very clunky indeed.
