Hi,
I'm a fairly new homebrewer in San Francisco (started last summer after losing my job), but am really enjoying it, and hoping to get better.
The tools here are really great, and I find it more intuitive than BeerSmith (which I am also evaluating), but I have to say I'm a little conflicted about whether to upgrade to a premium membership. I love how everything works, but from browsing the forum, it seems that the future of the site is a little unclear?
I saw posts mentioning that someone new had taken over, but then I see bad signs, like spam all over the front page of one of the forums. I also thought I saw the new owner say he wouldn't change anything? So does this mean no new development, no bug fixes, no more informative blog posts?
Anyway, I'd love to use Brewer's Friend as my main brewing software, so would appreciate if anyone as any more information.
Also, sorry for seeming like I am complaining in my first post -- I really do think this is the best brewing site/tool I've found so far!
(edited to add that I am in San Francisco)
