Brewguide vs Beanstats

Brewguide is the companion App for the Acaia Pearl S Welcome to your new scale! The Acaia Pearl S pairs with all of our apps but this is the one to use to set up the scale. If you don’t have a Pearl S, you can still browse and create recipes. In Brewguide, you can: * Walk through a setup guide to adjust settings like turning on/off modes, changing the weight unit, adjusting the auto-off timer, turning on/off the button sound, and changing the temperature unit. * Personalize your Pearl S with your own loading message * Browse official recipes or create and share your own with a QR code or link * Easily transfer a recipe to your Pearl S - the scale holds one recipe at a time To enter Brewguide mode, where you view the loaded recipe’s prompted steps, hold the Tare button until you see “Brewguide” on the scale.
