Brewing Excellence Awaits!


Welcome to the Early Release of the Brewer's Friend Recipe Builder:

During the early release users are granted free access to the Brewer's Friend platform. We will eventually switch to a 'Freemium' model where use of the tools on a limited basis is free. The annual fee for full access to the system will probably be around $15.00 USD for one year of service.

Sign Up for the early release is completely free, no credit card information is collected, and there are no obligations.

  • Ability to scale recipes by batch size.
  • Ability to share and search recipes.
  • Recipe copy feature.
  • Brew feature which builds a list of steps to follow during the brew specific to a recipe. Calculates water requirements given your equipment profile. This is based on our printable brew day sheets and makes life so much easier.

  • Brew timer that walks you through the brewing process step by step.
  • Automatic ABV and efficiency calculation.
The Future of Brewing at Brewer's Friend:
