Ok

momobills

Reds to update hops selection lemondrop hops not on it and would be great if had the ability to select coopers products as a lme addition


No longer in active develooment... or support

zdeems

Did not notice that the app had not been updated in 3 years. Paid to add 25 recipes, which caused the app to crash on open. If it was actively supported, this would be a great app.


Great for the price

brewer91

Fun way to keep track of everything beer. Much easier than keeping a notebook on brew day


Nice, but not maintained?

Paranoid developer

It seems like a cool app. I’ll be trying it out in my next batch. However, no releases in 2 years? I hate to invest in extending capacity to find out no one it maintaining it, making bug fixes, or enhancements.


Great App

Roxzalott

Easy to use. Could use more yeasts added. Very handy for keeping track of my brews/ingredients/dates


Overall a good app

edwardbomberhands

I haven't used any other app for brewing. This one had good reviews, so it is what I went with. Overall it is a good app and does what I need it to do for what I'm doing. There is one 'issue' I'd like to see addressed... I usually have more than one batch going at any given time and I reference others while working on one (or more). Once you get inside (beyond) the main page, you can't tell which recipe you're looking at. For instance, once in the style, malts, notes... page, you can't see which recipe you're looking at. When bouncing between several recipes it can get confusing and I sometimes put notes in the wrong recipe. If the app would simply highlight the recipe you're looking at in the left column, you could tell for sure which recipe you're working with. Simple fix. Otherwise you have to back out to the 'main' page of the recipe to see, at the top of the page, which recipe you're on. Another 'nice to have' would be if you could import a recipe straight off one or more of the home brew sites (AHA would be nice) since they are all in the same format on a given site. Maybe you can and I just don't know how. Kind of a PITA having to type in all the stuff someone already typed in on their site. RDWHAHB


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.


Missing a lot

Ryan Corbett

Has a lot of potential, but after one hour of use I found these big flaws: - can't remove things you add: grain, hops, mash rest. Once added it is there forever. Hops and grain can be zeroed out so their presence doesn't effect anything, but not a mash rest. - mash water and temp calculations get all messed up when creating second sparge or mash out - and you can't fix it by deleting it - yeast catalog is far from complete: no Lallemand Belle Saison, no Fermentis Abbaye/BE-256, no Lallemand Abbaye (I think this guy doesn't like Belgian beer) - local data only. No sharing among devices. - you can export a recipe in a structured format - but you can't import what you exported - can't paste photos in the notes. Too much missing for me.


Great free app

Jesse0618

For a free app it has great features. Glad i downloaded this. I use brewtarget on my pc, but this lets me play with recipes before i get my grains. Also i can track dates easily.


Very Good for Notes

Great for keeping notes - could maybe do with another couple of features. But it's the first release and it works great
