Brewguide is the companion App for the Acaia Pearl S
Welcome to your new scale! The Acaia Pearl S pairs with all of our apps but this is the one to use to set up the scale. If you don’t have a Pearl S, you can still browse and create recipes.
In Brewguide, you can:
* Walk through a setup guide to adjust settings like turning on/off modes, changing the weight unit, adjusting the auto-off timer, turning on/off the button sound, and changing the temperature unit.
* Personalize your Pearl S with your own loading message
* Browse official recipes or create and share your own with a QR code or link
* Easily transfer a recipe to your Pearl S - the scale holds one recipe at a time
To enter Brewguide mode, where you view the loaded recipe’s prompted steps, hold the Tare button until you see “Brewguide” on the scale.

Brewguide FAQ
Is Brewguide free?
Yes, Brewguide is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Brewguide legit?
🤔 The Brewguide app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
Brewguide is THE reason I got this scale. I built out my brew and saved it. Crash. Tried to edit the saved brew. Crash. Want to delete it. Crash. Help?
Well, at least I know why it crashes. The app allows editing some fields like Brewer, that are also offered as an enumeration (where you pick one). If you edit the fields, the app crashes when you try to load the recipe.
This is bad, but the recipes cannot be deleted, which is worse.
Is this ever getting new recipes?
The functionality of the brew guide on the device is nil if I can’t change it to better suit my coffees. Are there other recipes coming or maybe general regional brew recommendations? Just seems silly to have wasted the money for functions that are essentially useless.
Beyond Buggy
You can set customizations all day long, but there’s no way to apply them to the scale.
Disconnects too often
I like the idea of this but it hasn’t been updated with other brewing methods it’s seems like in quite a while. It disconnects often even when right next to my scale.
IPad version plwase
Love the scale you need to add an IPad version and maybe combine all the apps into one
Convenient and simple
Super convenient for getting brews down and under your hands. Prefer the level three guides.
Perfect companion for my Pearl S
There are some recipes to get started, but I like the option to create my own, and just duplicate one of the recommended, do my changes, and save it as my own.
Thank you Acaia for making this so easy!
Profile view only
Some app developers think everyone uses their smartphone for everything. This app is thus designed for such and is profile view only, no landscape more suitable for iPads and PC’s. Sorry, diddling on a little screen is not my idea of fun or life.
Great app and great fun!
This app is great for finding new recipes and uploading your own recipes to your scale! It’s also a great tool for learning how to use your Pearl model S. The tutorial videos are awesome!
Works but could be better
First of all, please combine all your apps. I don’t want 5 separate apps. Second, it needs to be easier to find recipes. There’s no apparent way to just browse everything that’s available. You have to know exactly what to search for. Also get more guides on there. Maybe reach out to brewers for recipes.
