BeerSmith 2 has been redesigned from the ground up to make it easier to navigate and use.
New in BeerSmith 2.2
| o | BeerSmith 2.2 has a simplified interface to make it easier to use and less cluttered |
| o | A new Search All command was added to let you Rechercher dans Toutes les Recettes Locales |
| o | A new Recherche dans le Cloud command gives you easy access to thousands of recipes others have shared on BeerSmithRecipes.com |

| o | Added whirlpool/steep hop IBU contributions for steeped/whirlpool Houblons based on 90C/194F steep temperature and time/util |
| o | Grains/Extracts/Sugars can now be marked as not fermentable (such as lactose) and will contribute more to FG now |
| o | The shortcut bars are replaced with a simpler view tree on the left bottom sidebar, with the ability to store and use favorites. Right click on any item in the shortcut bar to add a new favorite. |

| o | A Gravity Adjustment tool determines how much dry malt extract is needed to hit a target gravity level if your original gravity is off |

| o | Fixed bug "Not enough space in cloud folder" that could occur with some non-cloud pastes |
| o | Fixed printing from tool views, and printing in general is smoother and less confusing |
| o | Brew Steps are now opened in a separate tab (better viewing) instead of a "small font" window |

| o | You can now customize columns in the the Gestion de Stock view and Ingredients in design view |
| o | The short items "ioz", "iqt", "igal", "ibarrel" can now be used in any field to specify conversion of imperial Unités |

New in BeerSmith 2.1
| o | BeerSmith 2.1 has two major changes as well as a number of smaller updates included. |
| o | Le Cloud BeerSmith folder is the most significant change. It allows internet connected computers to share recipes via a cloud folder - so you can work from more than one computer. It also is tightly integrated with our new web site at BeerSmithRecipes.com so you can share a recipe with the community and search from thousands of recipes others have created. |
| o | The new Brewday Timer is the second major new feature. It gives you a mash/steep and boil timer for brewing your beer. It displays step-by-step instructions for these two critical stages with an integrated timer and alarm to tell you when to add the next major ingredient additions or steps. |
New Look and Feel for 2.0
| o | You can open recipes, tools and other views in either a new tab or window |
| o | A ribbon and integrated toolbars make all of the functions and tools more accessible |
Macintosh Support
| o | BeerSmith 2 is now available for the Macintosh, and both versions have compatible file formats and are nearly identical |
New L'Onglet Création de Recette
| o | A beer glass shows you the color of the beer in real-time as you add new ingredients |
| o | The style guide comparison includes graphical bars to show which items are in or out of style |
| o | The expanded ingredient display can be sorted and now shows the current Gestion de Stock of each item |
| o | A section is dedicated to user selectable fields - rather than fixing a few fields in the display we let you choose the ones you want most when designing a recipe |
| o | You can now adjust grain percentages using the Grain Adj button next to the ingredients list |
New Recipe Tabs
| o | Within the recipe editor, we've added tabs to help you focus on individual pieces of the brewing process including extended session data |
| o | The L'Onglet Pied de Cuve can help you estimate the right size Pied de Cuve to use with your liquid Levure |
| o | The L'Onglet Brassage lets you adjust and record details of your mash session - and includes a visual graph of the mash process |
Brew in a Bag Support
Profiles for Carbonation and Fermentation
| o | BeerSmith recipes now support profiles for both carbonation and fermentation, making it easy to select the perfect bottling and aging profile to match your beer. |
New Data Format
| o | BeerSmith now uses *.bsmx format files, an extended XML format that is easier to extend and add to as new features are added to BeerSmith |
| o | BeerSmith can still freely import and export BeerSmith 1.x (*.bsm) files as well as BeerXML open format recipe files |
New Tools
| o | The Eau Profile Tool now has a button that will calculate the ideal Eau additions to match a given target Eau profile |

New Compléments
