Title: Beersmith Bugs
Post by: johnrm on January 16, 2014, 05:51:20 PM
How many people here use Beersmith?
Do you have issues with it?
I find it very annoying at times.
Seeing as Beersmith is an affiliate, is it worth summarising any issues we experience with it here?

I have had issues with it and writing a bug report when something has gone catastrophically wrong in the middle of a brew does not happen.

Anyway...
1. On the Droid version 2.01.059, timing a recipe form the cloud, the timer stopped mid-mash.
I had no note of what time I started the mash, so had to plod on. Unhappy bunny.

2. Occasional crashes on the PC version, I was putting this down to a dodgy PC, but I think I might be wrong. No specific detail.

I don't have the detail on the PC - laptop running XP.
I have found in the past if I tweak recipes while the timer is running it falls over.

Most recently was on the Droid version, pi$$ed me off no end, I have no idea how long the mash was on for.

Nope, the mash and trying to keep times consistent.
Brewing outside so temps are all over the place which doesn't help either.  ::)
