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 wrote them down (for kombucha) and then lost my notebook at some point, somebody at goodwill probably bought a bag or something and now has a fever dream notebook full of frozen blueberries scribbles

I used to be meticulous about trying to dial things in with software, and I got really good at it. Then somehow my database got corrupted or overwritten with blank entries (I think I installed a later version of the software and that messed things up). I tried to get back to where I had been, but it was disheartening, so I just went feral.

Very much bottom right. I'm barely a cut above fermenting in open air and hoping it doesn't turn poisonous.
