I'd kill for a version of Brewmate that runs natively on Mac OSX. I keep having to switch from my office machine (win) to my home machine (mac) and it drives me insane.

I'd like that too, but I somehow suspect its not really feasible

This is what I came looking for answers to. Couldnt find it in the software. So no step mashing plans? Its the only thing stopping me using it.

I'd use it if it had step mashing as well.

I'm with you mate, be real good to get a Mac app - can anyone help in that regard?

+1 for the Mac App.

I use Beer Alchemy but find it to sometimes be buggy.

 

[sjcampbell]

Another one for a Mac port. If not an iPhone/iPad app. But as has been said it might not be feasible depending how it was written.

I know it's not a perfect solution but you can run it (or others like Beersmith) on Wine or equivalent pretty easily on OSX.

Worse still is run XP in a virtual box with your choice of software, but this will hog your resources a little.

Hi Rob, coming thick and fast

I've found a wee glitch, I'm just having a play with recipes for the forthcoming comps season and entered a couple - Dry Stout and Mild. Because of my naming "convention" which lists the AHBC class, when I save them, Brewmate assumes I am giving them the file extension "1" and "5" respectively, and saves them according to this "instruction". So they don't get saved as XML and I've lost them. See screenshot.

 

[Cannibal Smurf]

Michael, how does it go if you try naming the file *.xml? For example; Comp 2011 Dry Stout 11.1.xml

 

[keifer33]

You can just name your file and drop .XML as the last bit Bribie

Stout.11.1.xml

*edit* beaten by my slow phone typing

 

[Bribie G]

Yes, I just renamed them in Windows and got them back. :icon_chickcheers:
Cheers

That's great, I can tackle the other 34 now - erm, how do you make Roggenbier ?

 

[randyrob]

Hey BribieG,

Thanks for see the screenshot but I can't seem to replicate your problem,
No mater how many dots or if i put the .xml in or not it always saves it as an xml in Brewmate for me.

Any more hints on how you managed to do it would be good!

Cheers Rob.

P.S. good luck in the comps looking forward to seeing the recipes.

Just made up this award winner, named it as in top left text box, clicked save (bottom left button) , and ended up with the following:

 

[randyrob]

Hey BribieG,

Ahh Gotcha!

Very well spotted, just wait one of these days i'll have to name a release after you :icon_cheers:

I've squashed that particular bug and uploaded it to the BrewMate website for you to tryout for me.

Cheers Rob.

P.s. that recipe doesn't looked very balanced mate!

Hello Kelbygreen,

I'll have a look at this now, what do you have the OG Set to?

If your just dealing with Extract/Sugars you're better off setting your efficiency to 100% for now.
