Diffee VS BrauMo

BrauMo's answer:

BrauMo is built around how kombucha is actually made, not adapted from beer software. It knows what a liquid starter is, tracks culture lineage and viability, splits one F1 base into every F2 flavour, and treats acidification and alcohol as the critical control points in a KBI-aligned HACCP system. Water kefir and vinegar production run in the same app at the same price.

It is also self-hosted by design. The whole app runs on one computer in the brewery and serves every phone, tablet and laptop on the local network. All records live in a single database file the brewery owns, it works offline, and there is no cloud account, no telemetry and no external requests.

BrauMo's answer:

Cloud brewery software is the right answer for some breweries, for example a team spread across cities that needs the same live data from anywhere. BrauMo is for the brewery that wants its data in the building. The differences that usually decide it:

• Your data lives in one file on your own machine, not on a vendor's server.
• One flat price per brewery with unlimited users, instead of per seat or per production volume.
• If you ever stop paying, the app goes read-only and you keep full access and export of your own history, HACCP records included.
• Kombucha, water kefir and vinegar concepts are native, not workarounds inside a beer or winery model.

BrauMo's answer:

Small and mid-size commercial producers of fermented drinks: kombucha breweries first, plus water kefir makers and craft vinegar producers. Typically one person to a small production team, currently running on spreadsheets, paper and a separate invoicing tool, and dealing with a food-safety audit or a retailer that asks for documentation. Sold to businesses only. Every screen is localised in English, German, Spanish and Portuguese, so DACH, Latin America and Brazil are first-class rather than afterthoughts.

BrauMo's answer:

Jhael Tabrizi co-founded Verment Kombucha in Teltow, Germany. Running a kombucha brewery means tracking batches, cultures, pH readings, HACCP paperwork, stock and invoices, and no tool on the market understood how kombucha works. Beer software has no word for a SCOBY. BrauMo grew out of that brewery, batch after batch, built together with an engineering team, and everything in it is there because it was needed on the floor. It is now sold as its own product by Jhael Tabrizi, Einzelunternehmen, in Berlin. Verment is the brewery BrauMo was designed and built against, and a separate business from the BrauMo vendor.

BrauMo's answer:

Server: Python, FastAPI, Uvicorn, SQLAlchemy, with SQLite as the single database file. Interface: server-rendered Jinja2 templates and plain JavaScript, no framework and no build step, installable as a PWA on phones and tablets. Local network: zeroconf/Bonjour, so devices find the brewery's server automatically. Packaging: native macOS and Windows launchers, and it runs on Linux. Mobile: the iOS companion is SwiftUI with WKWebView. Optional: the Anthropic API powers the AI assistant, off by default and on the brewery's own key.
