Fermenticus Brew Log vs BrewingCalc

Fermenticus Brew Log is a logbook, calculator, and recipe formulator for homebrewers and small craft brewers alike. • Optimized for both iPhone & iPad. • Clean design - You can quickly input your ingredients and measurements, automatically perform important calculations, and concentrate on the brewing instead of the software! • Suitable for any level of expertise - Brew Log will handle all your extract, steeped grain, partial mash, or all-grain recipes. • Ingredients database - Add your own ingredients or select from lists of common malts, extracts, adjuncts, hops, and commercially available yeasts. • Save your recipes - Recipes are stored on your device for quick access at any time. You can also export your recipes via email in a convenient table format that can be pasted into any spreadsheet or printed out for brew day reference. • Organize your recipes - Sort your recipes with logbooks for organizing and archiving. • As you add grains or hops Brew Log instantly updates estimated gravity, color, and bitterness. Great for building recipes on the go. • Mash Rest & Sparge calculations for simple to complex mashes. Calculates volumes and temperatures for your strike water, infusions, and decoctions. • Built in calculators to determine original and final gravity, alcohol (ABV), bitterness (IBU), color (SRM), efficiency, attenuation, and more. • Choose a standard beer style or make up your own. • Designed to be an efficient brewing companion for quick logging during your brew day (“Do more with fewer clicks”). • US & Metric simultaneously supported. You can combine both US and metric units in your malt bill or hop bill. Recipes can also be converted from US to Metric and vice versa. • Unique date handling, so you can add dates with information about the date. Useful for logging information during fermentation or bottling! • Once you make your own measurement Brew Log will let you know your actual brew-house efficiency (for all-grain) and actual yeast attenuation. • Save your default settings such as typical batch size and if you brew extract/all-grain/steeped. Of course, this information can always be set on a recipe by recipe basis. ••• Important Information Regarding In-App Purchases ••• Brew Log has a limitation on the number of recipes you can store on your device. All users will get 5 empty recipe slots. There is no other limitation on any functions. The free slots are the exact same as paid recipe slots. Brew Log's In-App Purchases are tied to your iTunes account and are permanent. Your purchases on one device will be shared on all your devices. You can refresh to restore your purchases at any time. Upgrades of +10, +25, and unlimited slots are available for less than a beer at the pub. If you reach your maximum recipe limit, you will have to either delete existing recipes (I recommend exporting via Email first!) or purchase an upgrade before adding a new recipe or cloning an existing recipe. Cheers and Happy Brewing!

BrewingCalc is a professional toolkit for homebrewers — clean, fast, and built for serious brewing. Whether you're calculating bitterness, estimating ABV, or converting between metric and US units, BrewingCalc gives you all the tools you need in one place. CALCULATORS INCLUDED • IBU (Glenn Tinseth) — Calculate International Bitterness Units for up to 5 hop additions. Enter hop weight, alpha acid %, boil time, batch volume, and wort gravity. Get per-hop and total IBU. • ABV Table — Determine alcohol by volume using a precision 60-point specific gravity interpolation table. Supports both Plato and SG inputs. • ABV Formula — Temperature-corrected ABV calculation using a polynomial formula. Accounts for measurement temperature of both original and final gravity readings. • Calories — Estimate total and per-100ml calories from original gravity, final gravity, and batch volume. Uses the Real Extract (RE) method. • Brix / Refractometer — Convert refractometer readings to gravity and ABV. Two modes: enter original and final Brix, or work backwards from current gravity and corrected Brix. Includes wort correction factor support. • Unit Converters — Four precision converters: – Volume: litres, millilitres, decalitres, US/UK gallons, fl oz, pints – Weight: kilograms, grams, pounds, ounces – Temperature: Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin – Gravity: Plato ↔ Specific Gravity DESIGNED FOR BREWERS All formulas follow established brewing science — Glenn Tinseth's IBU model, the Real Extract calorie method, and standard Brix correction. No ads, no subscriptions, no account required. Works great on both iPhone and iPad.
