Hi Brad,
I used Beersmith for a long time as my home brew solution and now I use it for my micro brewery business. I really like the product!
I would welcome better inventory support, in particular for ingredient traceability: For legal reasons I need to record which batches of ingredients are used in which brew. In terms of features this means: the ability to add items to the inventory with separate batch numbers for each batch of each ingredient I buy (with the cost and volume per batch, plus the vendor/manufacturer name). When doing a brew day it also means the ability to record which batch of ingredients are used in each brew. Having a report that shows the batch number of each ingredient used in each brew would also be useful to me. At present I record this all on paper.
Of course in UK and all of Europe, this is a legal requirement for those who sell their products in both large and small scale. It may not be much use to a homebrewer, but it sure would help those of us who brew professionally.
