FermentBuddy vs Meat Curing & Brine Calculator

Fermentation is all about timing — and your sourdough starter won't remind you when it's hungry. FermentBuddy is the kitchen companion that remembers what you forget, so you never kill another starter or over-ferment your kombucha again. TRACK ALL YOUR FERMENTS IN ONE PLACE Whether you're nurturing a sourdough starter, brewing kombucha, culturing kefir, or making sauerkraut, FermentBuddy keeps every project organized with timers, notes, and photo logs. Support for 13 fermentation types including kimchi, miso, tempeh, yogurt, jun, vinegar, water kefir, and pickles. SMART TIMERS THAT ACTUALLY HELP Set recurring feeding reminders for your sourdough starter. Get notified when your kombucha first ferment is ready. FermentBuddy sends push notifications so you can stop setting random phone alarms and sticky notes. Pro users get temperature-adjusted timers that use fermentation science to adapt timing to your kitchen conditions. GUIDED WORKFLOWS FOR EVERY STAGE New to fermentation? Follow step-by-step timelines that walk you through each stage — from mixing your first sourdough starter to bottling your kombucha. Visual progress tracking shows exactly where you are and what comes next. TROUBLESHOOTING THAT ACTUALLY WORKS Mold on your sauerkraut? Starter not rising? Kombucha too vinegary? FermentBuddy's diagnostic system helps you identify problems with 34+ symptoms, causes, severity levels, and actionable solutions. No more frantic googling — get answers in seconds. DOCUMENT YOUR PROGRESS Log each batch with ingredients, dates, notes, and photos. Track what works and what doesn't. Build your personal fermentation recipe book over time. Export your history as CSV or PDF to share or save. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Check on your active ferments without opening the app. Small, medium, and large iOS widgets show your running timers and next actions at a glance. BEAUTIFUL, WARM DESIGN FermentBuddy's "Artisan Pantry" design feels like a cozy kitchen companion, not a clinical spreadsheet. Warm terracotta and olive tones, organic typography, and signature rising bubble animations bring your ferments to life. Full dark mode support with warm undertones for late-night feeding sessions.

Salt math, day counts and water-loss targets for every cut you hang. Meat Curing & Brine Calculator is a meat curing tracker for home charcuterie: it works out the cure, counts the days, and tells you when the bresaola is actually done. Most curing goes wrong at two moments: the salt rub and the pull date. Meat Curing fixes both. Type the green weight of your pork belly or eye of round and you get sea salt grams, Cure #1 or Cure #2 grams and the resulting nitrite ppm, checked against the 200 ppm ingoing ceiling for dry-cured meat. Set a target loss and Meat Curing calculates the finishing weight, then follows the batch with weigh-in reminders until it gets there. WHAT YOU GET • Exact salt and pink-cure grams for any green weight, with the nitrite ppm verified safe before the meat is touched • A finishing weight for every project, so a 35% loss coppa is a number on a scale, not a guess • Weekly weigh-in reminders and a finish alert the moment a cure reaches its target • Eight vault recipes with milestones built in: bresaola, pancetta, guanciale, lardo, coppa, gravlax, home bacon and finocchiona salami • A logbook per batch for weigh-ins, flips, vac-seals, re-rubs and cellar temperature and humidity • A cellar archive of finished and discarded cures, weights and notes intact for next season PERFECT FOR • First-timers who want the safety math done before the salt goes on • Whole-muscle curers hanging prosciutto, bresaola or coppa to a weight target • Salumi makers juggling ferment-then-dry schedules across several casings • Weekend bacon and gravlax cooks who just need the right ratio, fast WHY NOT JUST A SPREADSHEET? A spreadsheet knows the percentages, but it does not know today is day 21, that the pancetta is still 140 g from target, or that the next step is rinse and case. Meat Curing ties the calculator to the calendar and the scale: every batch shows days in, days remaining, current loss and the next milestone on one card, and the app nudges you when it is time to weigh. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your cures, weights and notes stay on this iPhone. There is no account to create, no cloud sync, no ads and no third-party analytics. Reminders are local notifications you can switch off at any time. FULL ACCESS Meat Curing requires a subscription. Choose a weekly or yearly plan to unlock unlimited cures, the salt and nitrate calculator, the recipe vault and all reminders. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled in your App Store account settings. Weigh your first cut, tap Start a cure, and let Meat Curing & Brine Calculator count the days.
