The <strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">new updates will be free to all BeerSmith 2.x users<\/span><\/strong>, so if you don&#8217;t have BeerSmith 2.1 yet, <a href=\"http:\/\/beersmith.com\/order\/\">now is a great time to get it!<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>BeerSmith Mobile &#8211; Sale Extended through August 15th<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/beersmith.com\/mobile\">BeerSmith Mobile<\/a> launch was a great success &#8211; though we did have some growing pains, I published a series of updates to correct issues as soon as I was made aware of them. If you find any ongoing issues after updating your apps, please let me know. However, since I had to correct some problems, it delayed the release of the &#8220;Lite&#8221; upgrades for Android (now available) and iPhone\/iPad (coming shortly). Because of this, I&#8217;ve decided to extend the sale price of $7.99 US for BeerSmith Mobile (or $4 US for the in-app Lite upgrade) through August 15th to give everyone a fair chance to <a href=\"http:\/\/beersmith.com\/mobile\">get the mobile version at a good price<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Heading to the National Homebrew Conference in Philly?<\/h3>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be speaking at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahaconference.org\/\">National Homebrew Conference<\/a> in a few weeks in Philadelphia (June 27-29), and we&#8217;ll also be running a BeerSmith booth on the exhibitor&#8217;s floor! So if you happen to be going to this year&#8217;s NHC please drop by the booth and say hello! I&#8217;ll be signing books, demonstrating my desktop and mobile software, and we&#8217;ll also have quite a few trinkets to give away, some T-shirts, software and more!<\/p>\n<h3>Recent Podcasts You May Have Missed &#8211; every other week!<\/h3>\n<p>Subscribe to the <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/podcast\/beersmith-home-brewing-blog\/id398500515\">podcast on iTunes<\/a>!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beersmith.com\/blog\/2013\/05\/28\/beer-brewing-water-with-john-palmer-beersmith-podcast-60\/\">Beer Brewing Water with John Palmer<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beersmith.com\/blog\/2013\/05\/09\/malting-barley-for-beer-with-andrea-stanley-beersmith-podcast-59\/\">Malting Barley with Andrea Stanley<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beersmith.com\/blog\/2013\/04\/25\/hops-and-beer-bitterness-with-dr-charlie-bamforth-beersmith-podcast-58\/\">Hops and Beer Bitterness with Dr Charlie Bamforth<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beersmith.com\/blog\/2013\/04\/11\/nanobrewing-beer-with-michael-mraz-beersmith-podcast-57\/\">Setting up a Nano-Brewery with Mike Mraz<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beersmith.com\/blog\/2013\/03\/25\/brewing-a-lager-with-erik-schmid-beersmith-podcast-56\/\">Brewing Lagers with Erik Schmid<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Recent Articles You May Have Missed<\/h3>\n<p>Sign up for the <a href=\"https:\/\/beersmith.com\/blog\/subscribe\">newsletter to get articles every week!<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beersmith.com\/blog\/2013\/05\/20\/the-evolution-of-home-brew\/\">The Evolution of Home Brew<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beersmith.com\/blog\/2013\/03\/12\/beer-faucettap-selection-and-kegging\/\">Beer\/Faucet Tap Selection for Kegging<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beersmith.com\/blog\/2013\/03\/21\/blonde-ale-recipes-and-beer-style\/\">Blonde Ale Recipes and Brewing<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beersmith.com\/blog\/2013\/02\/28\/biere-de-garde-recipes-and-beer-brewing\/\">Bi\u00e8re de Garde Recipes and Brewing<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beersmith.com\/blog\/2013\/02\/08\/multi-vs-single-step-mashing-for-home-brewing\/\">Multi-vs-Single Step Mashing<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thanks again to so many of you who provide great feedback to me on the <a href=\"http:\/\/beersmith.com\/\">BeerSmith software<\/a>, my <a href=\"https:\/\/beersmith.com\/blog\/category\/podcast\/\">podcast<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/beersmith.com\/blog\/subscribe\">newsletter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/beersmith.com\/blog\">articles <\/a>and web sites.
