NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to 
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3500
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to 
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Hi Robert,
I highly recommend BeerAlchemy from Kent Place Software.
You can get versions that run on Mac, iPod, iPhone and iPad
You can also synchronize the data between your mac and mobile device(s) for
convenience and data protection.
Cheers,
Joel

I am sure I won't be the only one that chimes in with this, but Q-Brew works
out well for me on my Mac.

Subject: Brewing apps for the Mac

I've used Beeralchemy and currently use BeerTools.  
BeerTools has everything I need except for a way to 
sync to an App on either my iPad or iPhone.  The 
BeerTools forum is active and the developer seems very 
responsive.  In fact, when I switched from my PC to a Mac, 
the BeerTools guy gave me a new registration code so I did 
not have to re-purchase it.  It's most recent release has a huge 
Ingredient database and supports inventory and individual recipe
water profiles.

I've also seen info on the Beersmith site that he is working
on a Mac-native version of their software.

Cheers,

Tim

Any

I've been using Beer Tools Pro for a few years now. It's the only software I've
used, so I can't really compare it to others, but it does everything I need.
Ingredient database is large, interface is pretty intuitive. Most of all, it's
actively supported.

I highly recommend Brew Alchemy.  
It is incredibly easy to use.  
I would not only rate it best for the Mac, but I like it better than the PC
versions like Beer Smith and the others.  
If you want to go all out they have a smaller version for the iPhone and
they sync.  
I no longer take my computer into the brew day.  Just the phone and an easy
sync.

Subject: Barleywine Carbonation Tips
I've got my first barleywine in the fermenter and I think about ready to
bottle. I started with an OG of 106 and figuring to end at 21 (assuming an
attenuation of 80%). It's been fermenting for 6 weeks now and if I've reached
the calculated FG, what's the recommendation for priming sugar for bottling?
I'm thinking somewhere between 1.5 and 2.0 volumes.
In case it makes a difference, this got the Wyeast 9097 Old Ale seasonal yeast
from last fall.
thanks,
Paul
