iBrewMaster 2 is a full functioned application for home brewers to manage the entire brewing process. Not only can you add, edit and manage your own recipes, iBrewMaster 2 comes complete with over 600 pre-installed recipes! Unlike other programs that simply let you manage a beer recipe, iBM2 lets you create a batch of beer from your recipe database, and track its progress every step of the way. Estimated specific original and final gravities, alcohol content, IBU's, color and calories are all automatically calculated! Or, if you prefer, override these values with your own personal calculations and readings. Details and notes as well as actual specific gravities, alcohol content and IBU's are tracked and recorded independently for each recipe as well as each independent batch of beer and stored for later review.

All recipes lost... now way to restore!
bronson1196

Without any notification/email regarding a change to Brewmaster 2 because of OS software update Brewmaster 1 which I used for years was dead and cannot be opened, meaning years of recipes are gone... the least they could’ve done was gave notice allowing users for a chance to print off or export the original recipes, or developed a way to transfer data over to BM2. Lousy thinking, poor implementation, and they have no way to contact them about this.


Doesn’t work lots of errors
azivar

I’m unable to import my previous brewmaster v1 database. The Dropbox integration doesn’t work and causes errors. This app isn’t worth purchasing.


No App Support. Does NOT work
lrmmer

Just downloaded the app. There is no support in the app or on IBrewmaster.com. Do not waste your money!


Barely usable, broken garbage
edunf

Used to use it, now half of the functions don't work


Making the switch to beer smith
redfishkilla

When the app works it is great. I have formulated great recipes with the tools. That being said- the app has way too many bugs and crashes consistently. The device to device communication does not work well between iPhone and iPad. At the price point, it is well worth it to explore other options. Impressive features that don’t work without crashing. Developers you need to fix this


Good, and getting better.
The Incredible Yeti

I liked the original version of this app and the second one seems to be an improvement. Still pretty buggy, but the developer works through the issues and puts out regular updates. Keep the good work coming! Looking forward to rating this at 5 stars once a few more issues are fixed!


94%?
nbfd223

I don't know where you get that 94% of users have not experienced crashes. My buddy and had so many issues with this app, we actually reverted to iBrewmaster 1, cause even though it has limitations, for the most part it works. This app does not. It freezes, it crashes, it sends you to a different recipe or batch whilst you're inputting info... It is simply unusable. We had high hopes, but it has not delivered. Not at all.


This app is broken and should be removed until fixed
aclarson

I can't delete things from the schedule, in fact, I can't get the schedule to work at all. I've tried everything including deleting the app and backing up my recipes, still will NOT WORK. Do not buy. Running on iPhone 6.


Overall satisfied
Thebakhatman

I really like all of the features (calculators, inventory, shopping cart etc.) that are built in to the app. It's nice to have all of my recipes stored in one place all in the same format. I keep much better notes on each batch as well. I do seem to have a little trouble with syncing between two different devices. Sometimes it seems to override a recipe and might loose some of the ingredients.


Upgrade disaster
Bikes rule

This new version is terrible. The color choices boggle the mind. There are too many bugs to list. The original version is awesome and this one is very disappointing. Support has not replied to my requests yet. Save your money and stick with the old ibrewmaster.
