I can also print out recipes, notes, and schedules, and if I don't like the way something is set-up, I can change it. So I created my own Excel document, with numerous tabs, that I use for several things - recipe development, stock on hand (hops in storage, etc.), all my costs (equipment & ingredients), tasting notes, etc., etc. I used a few of the online systems (Hopville, then BrewToad, etc.) until I got tired of the interfaces - I thought they were cumbersome and inefficient, and I had no idea how they were doing their calculations. I appreciate that Brewer's Friend is a small start-up site under active development and that probably colors my view. New features seem to come around frequently.ĭisclaimer: I'm a web developer who found this homebrew site through some of the web development siblings on the Stack Exchange network.

Unit conversions between imperial and metric (temp, volume, etc) are a little clunky.The recipe base is rather scant at this point.Batch logs for entering gravity, tasting notes, volume collected, etc.Water conditioning calculator for areas with regionally variable water supplies.(This includes multiple formulas/methods for calculating each.) Recipe calculator including expected OG and FG, IBUs, SRM color, and other common measures of a beer.
