My Brew App Reviews

Good but...

Pretty good app for every home brewer who wants to keep their recipes. Thé only thing is that there are no place for the malt or any additives neither quantities. You should also make that you can put more than one row of hop. Putting a couple Of recipes would be good for beginners too. Correct those little things and Ill give you five stars plus recomend it to all my fellow homebrewers!

Good but...

I use the app a lot but with recent iOS updates I have noticed bugs and problems (can no longer view in app photos for one) and no real way to contact the company that Ive seen. Minor complaints but still would be nice to see them fixed. Aside from those issues tho, the app is quite sound and I would recommend it.

Excellent brew log

Easier than writing it on paper, this app keeps my brew info in one place. I fill it in as I brew. I can easily reference past past batches while brewing new batches.

Must have!

If you want to keep a good record of pretty much every detail of your brews this is perfect. Very well made

Good brew tracking for multiple batches

Im using the app to track multiple batches, including 1batch of wine. Still new to the game of brewing but this app is exactly what I was looking for.

Good start

This is a good start, but has a few bugs and seems incomplete in some ways. The ability to include photos is cool, but the app crashed twice while loading pics from my camera roll. Also it would be cool if the zoom feature were supported. Im not sure what the app is trying to be. You can log your yeast, but none of the other ingredients. You can calculate ABV/ABW (although the numerical input is a phone keypad and doesnt let you type a decimal point), but you cant calculate anything else. Whats the point of that? And the supplier URL field is a bit unnecessary unless theres an option for multiple URLs. Id like to see an option for partial mash along with extract and all grain too. Basically if it became a little more of a recipe calculator this would be a killer app and worth the price. As it is well, hopefully future updates will address these issues.

Great for any home brewer

I love that it figures out the alc% for you

decent for logging

This app seems ok for logging your brews. However, it doesnt really do much to help the process the way beersmith (still waiting for iphone app) or brewpal does.

A good log but nothing else

I like this as a log for the beer Im brewing but it has a few bugs that need to be fixed. Pictures will not upload and sharing on facebook is hit and miss. Other than that a cool way to log your beers, but fix the picture issue.

Update

The new update makes it better than before. Love the period for gallon measurements, it takes out the common sense for the user. Who really homebrews 235 gallons at a time??Still the easiest app for brewing out there!!!

Add a "PERIOD"

Great app but can you add a " PERIOD" for the gallons? I like to make 2.13 - 2.5 gallons so a simple period would be nice so it doesnt read as 213 gallons. UPDATE: Thank you for adding the simple period. Again, this is a great App. Its simple and easy and these guys listen to feedback and fix the problems and thats rare! Thanks again! :)

BeerGirl

Best home brew app out there, and by far the easiest to use. 15 brews and no problems here.

No grain/hops bill?

There isnt anywhere to add a grain/hops bill...just a text field for hops. Pretty worthless if you ask me. I did like the entry to add the brew you were drinking while brewing each batch, though.

Perfect beginners HB app

Its really easy to use. The alcohol calc is handy. Please add a way to back up recipes to a server. The last iOS 5 upgrade wiped out everything on my phone and I lost 10 months of precious recipes. On a side note, after losing everything on my phone, the only thing I miss are the photos and those recipes.

Crashes often

Seems to crash when you add multiple timers for multiple steps. Twitter and Facebook integration cause the app to crash everytime you try to link your accounts.

Save your money

I am sorry for the low rating but I found this app to be almost useless. I would not recommend this app. You can not build any kit recipes and there are no preloaded ingredients of any kind. It is 95% fluff. You would be better off recording your brews on a notepad

Great app

I really like this app it allowed for excellent note taking and detail. The only thing I would suggest is to allow your receipes to be downloaded to a word/excel file to print. Other than that I love the cost tracker and how organized and user friendly this app is.

Pretty good app

This is a pretty good app that does a good job of calculating ABV/ABW. My only suggestion is to add a selection to change ingredients from a URL to a free-form list. The URL is only useful to people using kits. Those of us who are all grain brewers have no use for it.

Good app

Using this a lot because its convenient on my phone. Love the set up

Nice addition

Not a bad app, portable reference. The timers are handy. Nice to add pictures to go selling with your brew. Overall a good addition to your homebrew toolbox
