BrewBat beta

Pro brewing,
simplified.

Design a recipe from a style in one click, see how it'll taste and where it sits among every beer, then brew it with the water, mash and numbers worked out for your kit.

BrewBat is in closed beta. Enter your email and we'll be in touch when there's room.

Auto recipe create

Pick a style, get a recipe

Choose what you want to brew and BrewBat fills in a typical recipe for it: malts, hops, yeast, mash and treated water, sized for your kit. Sliders set the strength, bitterness, water and body, with the style guideline shaded in so you know where you are.

What to expect

Know how it'll taste before you brew it

A flavour flower built from what the maltsters, growers and labs say about each ingredient, weighed by how much goes in and when. Body, balance, finish, fizz and warmth come from the recipe's own numbers.

Where it sits

See your beer among every style

Your recipe on the Beer Map, its style's range boxed and the nearest styles named. Style Match then lines up its gravity, bitterness, colour, hop timing and grain bill against what brewers of that style actually do.

Explore

Every ingredient, mapped

Wheels of hops, malts and yeasts drawn from thousands of real recipes: bigger dots are brewed more often. Tap one to see its flavour, what it's used for and what it pairs with.

The hops wheel — Hops. Every hop by flavour, further out the more bitter. Find mango, pine or Citra in a tap.

The malts wheel — Malts. Every malt and sugar by kind, dark roasts at the hub and pale malts at the rim.

The yeasts wheel — Yeasts. Hundreds of strains by what they taste of and how dry they leave the beer.

Styles

Find your next beer

Every style in its real colour on the Beer Map, from straw to black and soft to very bitter, and a family tree of how they relate. Each style's page shows what its brewers really use, and a button to brew one.

The rest of the brewing, handled

Smart swaps

Out of a hop, malt or yeast? Get the nearest substitutes, ranked by flavour, origin and the styles they're brewed in.

Auto fix

Off target? One click nudges the amounts, water and salts back into the style, or brings the recipe in line with what you actually brewed.

Water and mash pH

Look up your local water report, pick a target profile and get the salts and acid for the mash and sparge.

Your kit, learned

Set up your equipment once. BrewBat learns its efficiency and losses from each brew so the next one lands closer.

Brew day and readings

A brew day sheet, stage by stage, and a place to log gravities and volumes as you go, measured against predicted.

Scale anything

Change the batch size or switch kit and the whole recipe follows.

Calculators

Strike temperature, boil off, dilution, refractometer and hydrometer corrections, hop age and more.

Your units

Metric or imperial, litres or gallons, °C or °F, EBC or SRM: each brewer sees their own.
