Beer engine. Mac

Post by far9410 » Mon Nov 12, 2012 7:30 am

Hi, wasn't sure which section to post this in.

I have a mac, which I'm very happy with except beer engine doesn't seem to be available for. I like to use beer engine it's simple just for balancing recipes out. Anyone know of it can be done on a mac, or recommend a basic program to use instead? :)

You could use the PC version with Oracle's Virtual Box. Its a great way of running PC stuff on a Mac, though you do need to have a copy of windows if you get my drift.

Hi, I have a laptop running windows, so do I need to download oracle to the mac?, ( bit of a techno phobe!)

Yeah you need to run Virtual Box on the mac and then you can install your copy of Windows into Virtual Box, as long as you have the Windows install cd and key.
