Fermenticus Brew Log - Home Brewing Calculator & Logbook Reviews

The best recipe app out there

jplise

This app is so user friendly. It is also customizable to meet your recipe spec needs. I strongly encourage using this app for all recipe designs. The best!! Testimonial from 2006 California Homebrewer of the Year.

Great app

I’ve used both brewlog and BeerSmith and I will keep with brewlog because it is easier to follow and you can export and print your recipes. In the app there is a log that is continuous and allows me to make notes. Thanks for the updates

Great App

Easy to use. 43 recipes and counting

Needs to be updated!

Nice easy to use format. Ingredients list is decent but could be freshened up. The hop IBU calculator is in serious need of updating. Overall good app but wish it had some upkeep.

Terrible

????????♦️

Very difficult to use. When you’re messing around something for 10 minutes and still can’t figure it out that’s why it’s time to go to another app. Do not download this app terrible.

Great calculator

I love this app but Mark Hambly would you please update it? There’s many more hops, yeasts, and specialty malts since it was last updated. Would also appreciate highlighting the selected recipe to be able to navigate easier within recipes, like another user reviewed.

Vs BeerSmith

Qorly

I have used both apps and this one is more concise and structured. BeerSmith has a lot of multiple screens to adjust information, brewlog everything is all available on one screen. I hope the author will continue to provide updates.

Just a few drawbacks (updated review August 2018)

The iron dukage

Love the app. I'm able to come up with a complete brew-day plan and everything is very easy to use / see. But not being able to sync between devices is a pretty big problem for various and obvious reasons. I would be more inclined to purchase the unlimited recipes option (currently just purchased the 30 slots) if I felt like the devs were working toward the sync thing. Until then it just kind of feels like it's second fiddle to beersmith (similarly priced). Also, call me old school but some sort of desktop site would also be nice. (Update) revised my rating from a 4 Star to a 2 Star and here’s why. Most recent version / update is over 2 years ago. I paid for additional slots and lost all my recipes -approx a dozen- when I changed from android to iOS. Wrote in to the devs and heard nothing back. Finally broke down and went with beersmith. I have no idea why I waited as long as I did. Really wanted this to be my brewing app that would evolve with my hobby but it just didn’t happen.

Go to app for brewing

Although you can only keep 5 beers in the free version, you have the option to export via email or printing to keep 5 of your latest brews. App contains everything you need to brew from start to finish. Input grain bill, hops and yeast and it will determine your output including water needed to brew to hit your 5gal target. By far the best free app for brewing.

Mead?!

App is well laid out but would appreciate some common yeast strains for mead making to be added.
