Home Brew software, which is the best value?

[jamis]

What homebrew program are you using? - is it worth the money?

Mash Tun Specific Heat  I think this is used to calc the correct water temp to add to your mash tun to hit strike,  My kegs weigh more then the us ones so I needed to change the weight of mash tun so that I was adding the right amount of water at the right temp so that once I mashed in grains it hit the right strike temp.

IE add 17.6L of 78C water to a 18C stainless 50L keg mash tun -> then the tun and water is 72C  giving a 67.5 temp after mash in etc

As to where you learn I am sure there is plenty of stuff on the website, I tend to learn from others running BS   we all seem to know a bit about a different area of the software...
