As the ProMash software family grows, and with the success of Microsoft's Windows CE 2.0 Operating System and subsequent CE Palmtop and Hand Held CE computing devices, Sausalito Brewing Co. is pleased to introduce the ProMash^tm PilotBrew^tm Brewing Utilities for Windows CE.

These PilotBrew utilities are NOT full fledged recipe formulation or brewing session applications. Instead, they represent a collection of useful stand-alone brewing applications that compliment full fledged brewing applications such as ProMash.. These applications fit nice and tightly on the palm-top and hand-held CE Device (small footprint) and free you from a desktop PC during brewing operations.

As an example of what might comprise a useful PilotBrew application, consider the first such application in the series, The Hydrometer Calculator. As it is often good brewing practice to stop all-grain runnings from the mash tun when specific gravity (SG) reaches 1.010, brewer's often take runnings and try to chill them down to the calibration temperature of the hydrometer (usually 60 degrees F). As this can take time, the brewer may accidentally allows the runnings to fall under 1.010. The Hydrometer Calculator lets you determine SG regardless of the temperature measured at. Simple enter 3 numbers (Calibration Temperature, Measured SG, and Current Temperature) and whala! the correct specific gravity is determined and displayed.

These utilities will be posted as they are made, and are completely free! No they won't expire! No they are not crippled! We are simply giving them away for comment, feedback and the joy of sharing! Happy Brewing!
