Thinking about getting back into homebrewing after a ~9 year hiatus.

I assume the software situation as evolved significantly and I don’t even remember what I was using back then.

So what’s everyone using these days and why?

I've been using BrewFather, I get good results now that I've dialled in my usual efficiencies, though I dont really care if my final numbers are slightly off the target, if it tastes alright i'm happy.

I really only started using it to do water chemistry calculations, but now it's my main recipe builder/checker.

I mainly use it to get my brew sheet that I have on my boox tablet for brew day, the only time I've skipped having that brew sheet I forgot to add a major ingredient and screwed up a batch.
