## Brewer's Friend Description
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

## Brewer's Friend Reviews in United States

### **--- "App doesn’t sync with website"
Used the website for a while and even had a subscription. Liked to be able to go into the app and quickly update the brew session status (e.g. primary -> secondary) but the recipes fail to sync with the app which makes you unable to open the brew session with the error “Error At Getting Remote Recipe”. Ended up cancelling subscription to try out other options.
-- bpgrif, 2025-12-14

### ****- "Needs a more user-friendly brewday experience"
I have used this app - or, rather, attempted to use- 4 times in a row, and each time I could not find a way to start the timer.  The last time, I just used BeerSmith or Grainfather because they were more straightforward.

Also, the water tool is not user-friendly and, again, I turned to BeerSmith.

However, it still gets 4 stars because the Calculators are unparalleled.
-- merlinusm, 2025-03-06

### **--- "Ok. Needs Better Integration"
I downloaded and subscribed on a whim to learn a few recipes. I should have played with it for free longer. I regret spending the annual expense on an app that lacks usability on mobile. There are great features for adding ingredients and process but it is underwhelming in application due to poor software design. Making a recipe public and sharing from the app is like pulling teeth. In addition, everything is clustered into tiny boxes and drop downs. Be careful where you touch or you might change an ingredient accidentally and it won’t default back to what you had even though you didn’t select a new ingredient from the drop down. The list is long.
-- Noob_Sauce, 2025-01-31

### ***** "Very Useful App"
This app is very user friendly and is a must on brew day.  I like the simplicity of the water calculator versus bru’n water.  I also like the inventory function.  It helps me when I’m at the home brew shop so I don’t purchase hops or grains that I already have on hand.

If your a beginner brewer or advanced I recommend trying this app!
-- Seanyt (TBC), 2024-07-28

### ****- "Long appreciated update"
Wow…the old app screamed iOS4. After years, here’s a update! Yay! Looks clean. Loads fast. A few layout issues where text fields overlap in portrait mode. But hey - if they keep fixing things it will get better! Hope they don’t go into cold storage with this new app.
-- ayman, 2024-01-30

### *---- "Did you even test it?"
I love Brewer's Friend, but the new app is so glitchy that is is unusable. There are no timers anymore, or they don't work. I had to exit the app in the middle of brewday, and the brew session I had started is completely missing. I deleted the app thinking there was a problem with install, and now nothing is available. No recipes, brew sessions, or anything else. I can view all of my info from my laptop, but this app is currently useless.
-- Bryan.George, 2021-10-21

### *---- "Fermentables issue"
Issue with fermentables menu instantly crashing.
-- mostbitter, 2021-10-01

### *---- "Glitchy and unreliable"
Items added to inventory don’t appear right away which is confusing. The app frequently closes recipes for no reason losing unsaved data. It gets stuck in a loop pestering you for a premium upgrade that won’t go away. When adding ingredients to a recipe, the ingredient screen will disappear mid-addition without saving. Overall a buggy, frustrating, and unusable experience. The legacy app is far more usable and reliable.
