About this app

The Brew Timer is for brewers, professionals and amateurs alike, who need a better way to keep track of their brew during the brew day. The application allows the brewer to create individual entries for the timing of different brewing events like the addition of hops, spices, a wort chiller, etc. These events can also include a post-boil steeping time, allowing brewers to keep track of additional lengths of time after the boil ends. These events can be grouped together as a Brew Session and can be saved in a Recipe Profile that can then be loaded when needed for future use. Each Recipe Profile contains all the events needed for a complete brew session.

Brew Timer Features:
- Create, save, load, and delete multiple Recipe Profiles.
- Each Recipe Profile can contain events for all timed brewing processes.
- The Brew Timer can sound a user selected alarm and/or vibrate when an event needs your attention.
- Events can be added, edited, or removed while the the timer is running in case a modification needs to be made on the fly.
- Color-coding of individual event entry’s remaining time lets you quickly determine how soon an event will trigger.
- The Brew Timer can be paused and resumed at any time.
- You can import your BeerXML recipe file and Brew Timer will pull out the needed information automatically.
- Recipe Profiles can be exported as an XML to for backup purposes or to share with other brewers.

The Brew Timer is also great for timing coffee roasting, baking or anything else you may need to keep track of multiple timing events.

Ratings and reviews

I'm a little confused. I set events and when the time arrives, I hear the alert, which is great. But I've had a few beers so I can't figure out how to make the sound STOP until the next event time is reached. In other (less drunken) words, I want to have an alarm for 15 minutes remaining in the 60 minute boil, and an alarm at 10 minutes remaining. So I start the app and it begins counting down from 60. When it gets down to 15, the alarm sounds but I can't make it STOP going off. I want to be able to push a button to stop the alarm sound but lets the timer continue down to 10 minutes, when the alarm would sound again until I stop the alarm sound, and then the app continues to count down to zero and the alarm sounds again. I don't want it to make one chime noise when it reaches an event, I want it to continue until I push the button to stop the sound. How do I do this?

love this app for brewing beer and crawfish boil timer. i updated my phone to a moto g 2025, and I am very sad that it say this app is not compatible with my phone.

This app is great for brewing. Unfortunately, it seems a recent update to my Samsung S25 has made it incompatible. I've sent an email to the developer for assistance.
