Your brew days deserve better than a notes app. BrewBatch is a field book for homebrewers: every batch logged with its recipe, volumes, gravity curve, and story, plus the math every brew actually needs. Log a batch in a minute: name, style, batch number, brew day, volumes into the fermenter, grain bill, hops, yeast, and recipe notes. From there the app keeps the record while you keep brewing. WHAT SHIPS - Batch log: recipe, style, targets, and volumes in liters or US gallons - Gravity readings with automatic ABV and apparent attenuation, drawn as a fermentation curve - Fermentation timeline with reminders: dry hop, gravity check, bottling day, first taste - Bottling and kegging notes with target carbonation and a priming sugar suggestion for your exact volume - Taste ratings over time: watch a batch condition, peak, and fade - Brew-again shortlist: star the recipes worth repeating, ranked by how their tastings held up - Brewer's toolbox: ABV calculator, priming sugar calculator, hydrometer temperature correction, Plato and gravity converter - Brew Sheet PDF: one printable page per batch with the recipe, gravity log, timeline, packaging, and tastings - Syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with iCloud FREE VS LIFETIME Free is the full workflow for your first 3 batches: readings, reminders, tastings, charts, and every calculator. The Lifetime Unlock (one payment, no subscription) removes the batch limit and opens the Brew Sheet PDF export. Buy once, keep it forever, on all your devices. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Your brew log lives on your device and in your private iCloud; we run no servers and cannot see your data. Made in Montreal by InnovaLabWorks.
