Brewing Assistant Free

Navigating field to field it's slow to respond. Biggest issue is that this app deleted two recipes from my list. All I did was sync between site and app and boom 2 got deleted. Funny thing is if you go to the site and sort by brewer's it says I have 6 brews but my app shows only 5. Edit as of 2 yrs later, app has gotten faster and haven't had any more apps deleted. Great free app

I have used the free app on several of my last brews. It has kept me on track for all my additions. I really like being able to pull it up on my phone when an idea for a recipe hits me. Just add the ingredients, and tweak it for brewing when ready.

Kind of slow and clunky but it works and is free. Great inventory already loaded.

The ingredient list is no way big enough for simple extract brewing. Get a copy of Jamil's book and add every ingredient listed.

Every time my screen flipped it'd reset my timers. Really troublesome when depending on it to add your hops.

The integrated brew timer is great, but the real plus is the web portal, so that you can enter recipes on your computer instead of your phone!

Like the timer, reminders, haven't used yet,(too cold here) haven't lost recipe ideas, no lock up, that's good. :)

Easy to use, plus it syncs up to their website. Great for building recipes and tweaking them as you go. Plus it is free.

It has made brewing so much easier.

The app was too constrained for me, it didn't have my type of mash and I found it very difficult to add stuff in. I started to log the boiling time and stuff, and it just put up an alarm clock. I couldn't finish my log.

It does everything as advertised but it is certainly not a clean or elegant app. It is extremely slow, prone to freezing and crashing, and is a memory hog. It has nice features for brewing, and the calculators seem pretty accurate, but the mash calculator is buggy and tends to crash the app. Needs work for a paid app.

I've been a professional brewer for 16 years now and love this app. It's a breeze to use and I love having my recipe in my pocket while I'm walking around brewing. I still use pro mash for the more serious details but having this app is well worth it. I would give it 5 stars but they took political sides with their ads. I don't like that stuff being pushed in my face. No thanks

Hop usage was taken into account. Whole, pellet, mash or boil it has it. Needs some polishing. Once you go to some pages there isn't a return. I had to quit the app to get out.

Syncing is a little wafflish, otherwise does everything I need. Needs hops updated.

Could have a couple features such as OG, FG, brew temp, brew time, etc. instead of writing down in notes. It does estimate the OG and FG, but the real numbers are always off slightly.

Simple interface, but there's enough there to get the job done.

Would be better if you could import recipes from another program like Beer Smith rather than re-entering them.

Edit: Now the free version is acting up! I can't use it anymore, help!! I've resorted back to the free version since the paid version is acting up on me. Its a really good app!

Found that using an Excel worksheet is sufficient and easier.

Works great for me. Use it to brew two batches today and the timer worked great. I like to make my own recipes and enter them in to see the gravity and IBU stats.

The integrated brew timer is great, but the real plus is the web portal, so that you can enter recipes on your computer instead of your phone!

Few bugs and discrepancies with it, but overall this thing makes my life easier. Wish i could change default brew settings, also wish i could estimate pH with it.

Great portable recipe bank for your phone. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles but a great tool.

Use it sll the time. Great App

This app is far the best homebrew app. Everything from timers to SG and FG calculator. Highly suggest this to anyone that homebrew's

Great for saving recipes and getting a quick idea of how a recipe will turn out. Runs great on galaxy s5.

Love it. Needs more yeast strains and liquid extracts but free and awesome.

Love this app. Its helped me make some of the finest beer that will ever touch my tongue.

Easy to use, very intuitive. Muy útil y fácil de usar. Gracias.

App is fine for brewing but the notes section keeps erasing after I exit the app, so what's the point of storing recipes if you loose valuable information?

Great brewing app!

Great app

Handy, could use some fine tuning like mash type temp and time, but love that it syncs with my other devices so I can have all my recipes anytime I need them.

Unlike other free homebrew apps this actually works the way it says it will! An extensive list of ingredients and easy to use means you'll be brewing in no time!

I've been using for 2 years to build my all grain beers. Most grains, extracts, adjuncts and flavorings anyone might want are here. Most yeasts, too. Easy to adjust alpha levels for hops to keep you at IBU'S you want. There is too much more to list it all.

Been using this for a while. It has more ingredients than my brewshop and the values are pretty close (%aa, °, etc). Predicts gravities well enough.

I love the ability to take my shopping list to my supplier

Great application to keep you on target. This, coupled with few calculators makes a brew day fun instead of full of math..

Kind of slow and clunky but it works and is free. Great inventory already loaded.
