Brewfather Reviews and details

• Working on a Märzen for my first from scratch Brew.

  One thing I'd recommend is using some brewing software. I've played around with Brewfather as a web app, though I personally use the BeerSmith desktop application. Its visuals haven't exactly aged well, but it does exactly what I need - I can plan recipes (watching OG automatically shift as I put in different grains, etc), record brewing data, and use it as a catalog of past recipes easily.

• What would you like to see in a mead website?

  Something like https://brewfather.app/ but with mead nutrition and balancing in mind. It's nice to get calculated acid and mouthfeel, if some considerations like that could be applied to fruit additions or yeast choice it would be great for creating new recipes. Source: about 1 year ago

• Story time… How did YOU get into brewing? What has your progression been? Moving from recipe kits to recipes and sourcing my own ingredients… how to?

  For recipe apps, I use Brewfather. It has a really nice modern UI and workflow, behaves identically between mobile and desktop (including syncing), and has a lot of recipe-building calculators and features. I pay for the premium version, not sure how well the basic works but it's been 100% worth it. Source: about 2 years ago

• Need Somebody to revise my grain measurements

  Unless tedious math is really your jam, I recommend finding a brewing calculator. I like Brewfather since it has a ton of tools built in. Brewer's Friend has a lot of popular online calculators and tools. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Ready to rumble!!! And looking for easy grainfather recipes that dont require too many different types of grains and hops. And do you guys know places where you can find whisky/rum and other hard liquor recipes? Thnx!

  A few notes about my recipe: Nelson is definitely not a traditional hop for a saison, but ive found it works great. If you want to be more traditional use Saaz or Hallertauer. Shoot for similar IBUs at those timings. You can also throw a few ounces into the whirlpool if you feel like it. If you want it a bit darker, sub pale malt for the pils. Or sub 10-20% Munich or Vienna or Wheat or Rye. There are a lot of ways... Source: almost 3 years ago
