Terms of use

Last updated 10 November 2026.

BrewBat is a brewing app run by James Torr in the United Kingdom. By using it you agree to these terms. If you have a question, write to beer@brewbat.com.

Your account

  • You need to be old enough to drink alcohol where you live to use BrewBat.
  • Keep your sign-in to yourself. You're responsible for what's done with your account.
  • One account per person.

Your recipes

Your recipes, readings and notes are yours. Recipes stay private unless you make them public. When you do, other brewers can see and copy them, and we can show them in BrewBat.

Fair use

Don't scrape or copy BrewBat's catalogue (styles, ingredients, water reports and the figures behind them), try to get round the plans' limits, or use BrewBat in a way that harms it or other brewers. We can suspend or close an account that does.

Plans and paying

  • Free is free. Brewer is a paid subscription.
  • New accounts get Brewer's features free for 30 days, with no card needed. The trial keeps Free's limit of 25 recipes.
  • Subscriptions are sold by our payment provider, Polar (polar.sh), as the merchant of record. Polar takes the payment, charges any VAT or sales tax and sends your receipts, and its terms of sale apply to the payment.
  • It renews until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from Settings → Account, and you keep Brewer to the end of the time you've paid for. See Refunds.
  • If you go back to Free, you keep all your recipes. Past 25, the older ones are read-only until you move back to Brewer or delete some.
  • We'll tell you at least 30 days before a price change, and it applies from your next renewal.

Brewing

BrewBat's numbers (gravity, bitterness, colour, water, carbonation and the rest) are estimates. Check them against your own readings and brew safely, especially with pressure, heat and chemicals. Please drink responsibly.

The service

We work to keep BrewBat running and your data safe, but it's provided as it is, and we can't promise it will never be down or wrong. As far as the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect losses, and our liability is limited to what you paid us in the last 12 months. Nothing here limits your rights as a consumer.

We may change BrewBat and these terms. If a change matters, we'll tell you before it applies. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
