### 5/5 — Modern, convenient and packed with features

*2026-05-26, version 3.0.1*

I have been using Brewfather for year. It has a modern UI, that is sleek and easy to use. It is a web app, so you can load it on your phone, tablet and computer and all are in sync for your brew day, which makes it very convenient. This app is loaded with features and it consistently being added and improved. I cannot say how great this app is, one of the few that I give 5 stars to. Truly a well constructed, feature rich app that is worth the money!

### 5/5 — Melhor software cervejeiro

*2026-05-20*

Ótimo

### 5/5 — Could not brew as much without it

*2026-05-07, version 3.0.1*

I brew 3-5 gallons every 10-12 days.  BF allows me to plan out batches months in advance, monitor and plan my inventory and keep ingredients stock low and efficient using the negative inventory function.  And adjusting on the fly using the tools allows for less errors.   BF is the best!!!!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-04-04, version 3.0.0*

Very well made app. It has everything you need and is still adding more functionality. The new premium AI is a game changer! It can access all your recipes, profiles, inventory, etc and give custom content that is extremely accurate and relevant. Thank you!

### 3/5 — Naja

*2026-02-09*

Kehre nach einem Jahr wieder zu Beersmith zurück!  Die App liefert mir wechselnde Werte und die Session Anpssung ist mies umgesetzt.

### 5/5 — 100 gallons

*2025-12-20, version 2.20.2*

Love the tool for designing recipes and keeping track of what is going on with your brewing process.

### 5/5 — Best brewing software

*2025-12-09, version 2.20.2*

Look no further, this is the best brewing software available bar none. BeerSmith is cool and all, but archaic and  clunky. This app is modern, intuitive, accurate, detailed, flexible. Shall I go on? I’ve been brewing for 9+ years and have been using Brewfather for most of that time. I don’t know how I would brew beer without it. Worth. Every. Penny.

### 2/5 — Not a good bang for your buck

*2025-11-06, version 2.20.2*

I’ll start off by saying have been brewing beer for about 11 years pretty consistently at home. I have 10 kegs, and a massive kegorator.. I used this app back when it was wayyy cheaper and unfortunately in the last few years it’s doubled in price. No loyalty for longer term users. At first I enjoyed the fact that it would calculate  automatically, but there is not replacement for a coil notebook and some hand made calculations. Don’t waste your time with the $40 a year, just learn how to do it on your own. Honestly the app wasn’t even that accurate anyway, I had a ton of notes for most of my beers anyway. Good luck brewers

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2025-07-31, version 2.12.1*

This is a fantastic application.

### 5/5 — Duas sugestões (Two suggestions)

*2025-03-05*

1) Incluir no relatório o valor do estoque por item, por tipo (malte, lúpulo, levedura) e total.
2) Inlcuir o preço total e preço por litro do lote.
Obrigado!

1) Include in the report the inventory value per item, type (malt, hops, yeast) and total.
2) Include the total price and price per liter of the batch.
Thank you!
