I got from Manjaro after I realised that I don't need bleeding edge software and I was capable of destroying my installation several times, so Mint with Xfce it is.
Also software that I needed arch for I didn't need anymore.
I didn't know about it till now, but I am a beginner. Just brewed my first beer a few weeks ago and planning on a second soon. I'll take a look. I know about brewfather and brewers friend, didn't know about an open source solution.
Just a smash with pale malt and centennial, made a million mistakes but it turned out ok. Wouldn't say it was great, but nobody had any problems with drinking it and it went away within a few days. But I made my own recipe in brewers friend and that's one of the many mistakes I made. I only had a very basic setup and minimal equipment, so for my next time,it's going to be a lot better, I bought a keg, a CO2 tank and a fridge, so as long as I follow a good recipe, it's gonna be good!
