## What is BrewBear?

BrewBear is a brewer's best friend when it comes to calculations and conversions. This nifty pocket calculator lets you perform common brewing calculations in an intuitive way. Simply slide to set your variables and immediately see the outcome.

BrewBear allows you to perform the following conversions:
• Specific gravity:  SG / Plato / Brix
• Temperature:  Celsius / Fahrenheit
• Weight:  Grams / Ounces / Pounds
• Volume:  Liters / US Gallons / Imp. Gallons
• Color:  EBC / SRM / Lovibond

and these calculations:
• Mash Volume
• Evaporation / Dilution
• Attenuation (ABV, ABW and Apparent Attenuation)
• SG Correction
• Hop Substitution

For each calculation, every part of the equation can be a variable. For instance, you can calculate the mash volume given your grist weight and liquor volume (or mash thickness), but you can also calculate your grist weight if you know your target mash volume. Likewise, if you're aiming to brew a 5% ABV beer, you can easily see what your original gravity must be for a given final gravity, or vice versa. 

All that, for less than the price of a beer!

BrewBear is developed by a passionate beer brewer and software developer form the Netherlands.

### 5/5 — Indispensable

*2022-11-12*

Every brewer knows that you plan your brew day but it doesn’t always go exactly as planned. I used to jump all over the net using calculators I liked or needed, but this app has almost everything you need all in one. It also has tools that I haven’t seen anywhere else. Having this in-hand on brew day makes complex scenarios very manageable.
