A question for home brewers

Would you be interested in an add-on to BeerSmith with historic styles and ingredients? And. more importantly, would yo be prepared to pay for it?

I've contemplated this in the past and have customised my own version of BeerSmith. But, I've a lot of projects either current or in the pipeline. I'm not going to put in the effort unless I know that it will be worthwhile.

Thanks to Brian Welch for reminding me of this.

    I don't use BeerSmith so I am not in the target audience, though if you built a decent recipe app that included the necessary information I'd certainly think about buying an app to download.

    Most recipe apps are either too involved or too simplistic, and too reliant on BJCP style guidelines - though in the absence of anything more useful I guess we are lumbered with it.

    I use Beersmith for all my brews but I don't see the need for a historical brews add on and nor would I pay for it. You can put any recipe you like into the machine and if the ingredients aren't in the database you can add them.You can get historical brews for free from resources such as this web site. If you can get something for free why would you pay for it?

    I'm interested, but two things come to mind:
    - I'm personally interested near-exclusively in 18th century styles, but that may be just me
    - The big issue for me is the massive hurdle in getting or making "true" 18th century Brown Malt, which makes the brewing of these styles a rare treat, limiting the utility of a plugin

    Having said that, I'd likely buy such a package regardless

    I'd be happy to support an add on for the styles as you see them.
    I've been adding them into BeerSmith and then "finding" a style that best matches.
