FermMaster vs Smokecraft

FermMaster is your essential companion for mastering your fermentations. Whether you are fermenting your first Fresh Wort Kit, or dialing in your favourite Crispy Pils or a DDH Double IPA, our real-time monitoring keeps you up-to-date on your batch's progress. Seamlessly connecting with KegMaster digital scales (KS-1), this app provides real-time measurements of fermentation progress in your fermenter, without adding anything inside the fermenter. Beyond just measurements, FermMaster notifies when your fermentation is complete, and when the fermentation temperature is outside of your preferred temperature range. Developed in Australia, the FermMaster app brings progress visibility and convenience to your fermentations.

Smokecraft is the real-time cook coach your BBQ deserves. Tell it what you're cooking and when you want to eat — it builds the schedule, sends the alerts, and stays with you on your wrist so you never miss the stall, the wrap, or the rest. No accounts. No cloud. No ads. Smokecraft runs on your phone. Your cook data stays yours. YOUR COOK. ORCHESTRATED. Tell Smokecraft what you're cooking, how heavy it is, and when you want to eat. It builds a precise phase-by-phase schedule, sends coaching notifications at every critical moment, and stays with you on your Apple Watch so you never have to leave the grill to check your phone. iCloud sync keeps your cook history across iPhone and iPad automatically. BUILT FOR EVERY GRILL Whether you're running an offset smoker low and slow at 225°F, a gas grill on direct high heat, or a charcoal setup doing a combo sear - Smokecraft knows the difference and adjusts every timing and coaching tip accordingly. PHASE ENGINE WITH REAL COACHING Every phase of your cook gets a countdown, a coaching tip, and a perfectly-worded notification. When your brisket hits the stall at 165°F, Smokecraft tells you exactly what's happening and what to do next. When it's time to rest, it won't let you rush it. Supported cooks: - Brisket (low & slow, stall management, rest) - Pork Butt (stall, bark lock-in, pull temp) - Spare Ribs — 3-2-1 method - Baby Back Ribs — 2-2-1 method - Beef Ribs (8–10 hour smoke) - Pork Belly - Whole Chicken - Salmon - Steaks, Burgers, Pork Chops, Lamb Chops (doneness-aware: Rare → Well Done) - Lamb Leg, Chuck Roast (low & slow with pull temp) - Grill-type coaching tuned for smoker, charcoal, and gas — every phase and tip adjusts to your heat source DONENESS SELECTOR For grilled cuts, choose your target: Rare through Well Done. Smokecraft back-calculates your pull temperature and rest time, and alerts you with precision as your internal temp approaches the target. SMART TIMERS Run multiple timers simultaneously — quick timers, flip timers for two-sided cooks, rest timers, and phase timers linked to your active cook. Preset timers for the moments you hit every cook: Burger Flip, Chicken Check, Rib Glaze, Preheat. APPLE WATCH COMPANION The most important screen in Smokecraft fits on your wrist. Current phase, live countdown, and a quick temp logger you can operate with one hand — crown scroll to temperature, single tap to log. Haptic alerts when phases transition. A "Pull Now" alert pattern you'll feel even with gloves on. Complications for every watch face. WEATHER-AWARE (SMOKECRAFT PRO) Wind, humidity, and cold temperatures all affect your cook. Smokecraft surfaces real-time weather conditions and flags when you should adjust your estimated cook time.
