Hi,

I need to move my Beersmith installation from my work laptop (Windows) to my home computer (Mac).

Would it be possible to outline how I can move the data files to ensure all my added ingredients, recipes, equipment profiles, etc. carry over?

Thanks in advance for the help

All of your profiles are in ..Documents/BeerSmith2

If this is a new install, you simply copy that directory and paste it to the Mac after BeerSmith is installed. This will replace the default version.

If you've had it on your Mac for a while and already customized profiles, use File > Open File to open the copies. You'll see multiple versions with a number modifier. Choose the versions without numbers (the rest are older backups). From the new tab that opens, choose the files you want to move and paste those to the correct database tab.
