About this app

Brewer's Friend is the complete homebrewing toolkit: design a recipe, brew it, track fermentation, and dial in the next batch. Easy enough for your first extract kit, powerful enough for all-grain and BIAB.

DESIGN BETTER RECIPES
• Full recipe builder for all grain, BIAB, extract, and partial mash
• Searchable ingredient database — fermentables, hops, yeast, and adjuncts
• Live numbers as you build: OG, FG, ABV, IBU, and SRM color
• Choose your own formulas — Tinseth or Rager for IBU, Morey, Daniels, or Mosher for color
• Equipment profiles so efficiency, boil-off, and volumes match your actual system
• Scale any recipe up or down to a new batch size
• Beer style guidelines, plus your own custom styles
• Organize everything with folders

BREW DAY, HANDLED
• Step-by-step brew day timeline with built-in countdown timers
• Log mash temps, gravity readings, volumes, and tasting notes as you go
• Works offline — brew in the garage with no signal and everything syncs when you're back online

TRACK FERMENTATION
• Full brew session tracking from pitch to package
• Gravity and temperature charts that show exactly how fermentation is progressing
• Tilt and iSpindel support for automatic hydrometer readings
• Fermentation alerts so a stalled or finished batch never surprises you

WATER CHEMISTRY, SOLVED
• Complete water calculator: source water, target profile, mash and sparge treatment
• Salt and acid addition recommendations with mash pH and a full treatment report
• Save water profiles and reuse them batch after batch
• Built-in documentation explaining what every number means and why

BREWING CALCULATORS
ABV • IBU • SRM Color • Priming & Carbonation • Keg PSI • Mash & Infusion • Strike Water • Hydrometer Temperature Correction • Refractometer • Brix • Boil Off • LME/DME Conversion • Hop Utilization • Yeast Pitch Rate & Starter

Ratings and reviews

Really like the App. Water calculations, salt additions... all very helpful. My recipe numbers are nearly spot on. A glitch I've found troubling is in adding info to brew log and or notating files created; individual as well as multiple keys double impose, jump forward... when keying in, backing up, and deleting. Very disconcerting.

Useful for planning brews while I'm not home. Kind of clunky, crashes sometimes - for example when editing mash guidelines for a recipe

the scaling feature doesn't adjust the fermentables and hops for smaller batch brewing. using the feature to fix the ABV to determine percentage of fermentables also doesn't seem to work. simple things not working means more complex calculations must fall under suspicion. this is worse than I originally thought, JUST COPYING from the public recipes cause the percentage to just from 6.5 to 238% is there no error checking in this code? please hire some software developers who test code first.
