• Fruit, spices and brewing aids

  Add cherries to a stout, coriander to a wit or a fining for clearer beer from one pop-up: what the style's brewers add, how much and when. Fruit's sugar counts towards the strength.

• Set your own salts

  Following a recipe that gives its own doses? Water → Salts sets them by hand, with the minerals and mash pH as you go. Auto fix leaves them alone until you go back to auto.

• Classics that keep getting better

  We keep refining how the classics and clones are made. Your copy says which version you started from, and when there's a newer one to copy.

• Take something out, keep the beer

  Remove a malt and the rest of the grain bill grows to keep the strength; remove a bittering hop and the other one grows to keep the bitterness. Or just remove it.

• Recipes closer to what brewers brew

  New recipes, classics and clones now add what marks a style out (a milk stout's lactose, a tripel's sugar, a wit's spices), keep every malt to the amounts its brewers use, and follow thousands of brewers over the style guidelines where they differ.
