I can’t stress enough that the file MUST be named recipe.bsm. Just click on file, import wizard and select the location of the recipe.bsm. If you happen to have exported your recipes from BeerSmith 1.4 be advised that you will have to rename it to recipe.bsm (1.4 defaulted to recipes.bsm and that s in recipes will prevent importing).
Beersmith recipe files update#
A future update will include importing BeerXML recipe files (it should have been included In the 2.0 release). If you are not upgrading you can import your recipes from a BeerSmith recipe.bsm file. What if you’re upgrading from BeerSmith 1.4? No problem, all your recipes and equipment settings will import very nicely. The big empty rectangle will fill in with a beer glass showing an estimation of the beer after fermentation. The bottom portion of the recipe sheet has graphs showing you where your recipe stands in relation to the beer style you have selected. Clicking on the buttons to add grain, hops, yeast are all self explanatory. The sidebar on the left can be displayed or hidden as needed. When you first open the recipe designer you’ll notice a nice sleek interface. Let take a look at the new UI in BeerSmith v2!!
This allows you to have multiple recipes open, as well as any of the other databases (grain, yeast, hops, water, equipment etc.). In keeping with modern times and OS’es BeerSmith supports tabs. The already feature packed software has gotten even better! The software now natively support both Windows and MAC (Linux support via Wine) and the UI got a much needed facelift.
What I like or dislike about the software are my opinions and like everything else, what I like might not be what you like.īeerSmith has released it’s long awaited update.
I am not paid at all or provided with free versions of the software. Disclaimer- This is my own personal thoughts and feelings about this software package.
