Brewer’s Friend Welcomes Brewgr Members to the Community

[Yooper]

We’re excited to share some news: Brewer’s Friend has acquired Brewgr.com.

The owners of Brewgr — a recipe creation and sharing platform used by many homebrewers — recently decided to sell the site. They approached us, and we saw an opportunity to connect with Brewgr members and introduce them to the tools, calculators, and brewing community here at Brewer’s Friend.

By bringing more brewers together under the Brewer’s Friend umbrella, we’re making our community even more vibrant and diverse.
To our long-time users, we would love your help in welcoming the new faces coming in from Brewgr.

Greetings all,
New to the forum here, and was hoping someone might be able to help me find an old brewgr recipe that I bought ingredients for but didn't print out (oops). It is the only recipe I could find for a Hoegaarden Roseé clone, and I don't have the confidence to play around with the ingredients just yet as my previous batches have been all grain IPAs.
Specifically, I bought ingredients for the brewgr Witbier Recipe - Rosee - 62 (https://brewgr.com/recipe/96308/rosee-62-witbier-recipe) late last year, but I didn't print out the recipe from the website before it was shut down.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Any of these look promising?

Just navigate to search ; beer recipes and start messing with search arguments. "rosee" was what got results for me.

I did look through the rosee and witbier recipes on the site (and google), but I can't shoehorn the ingredients I bought into the recipes I could find.
Also, the wife is very keen on the Hoegaarden Rosee which we can't get easily in North America, so I was hoping to brew a clone to share with her, and the former brewgr site had one that looked promising. *kicking myself for not printing it out*

I find several promising recipes, but without knowing your ingredients it is impossible to know if it is the “right” version.

Well, if anyone can find it, @Yooper can!

Good deal! Welcome

The brewgr recipe was based on the following (or similar) ingredients for a 5 gallon (19L) batch:

Wheat Malt 1362g
Munich Malt 454g
Dry Malt Extract 454g
Carapils Malt 454g (subbed for Belgian Pilsner Malt as I couldn't get that locally)
Flaked Oats 908g
Lactose 454g
Tettnang Hops 28g × 2 (subbed for Loral as I couldn't get that locally)
Saaz Hops 28g × 2 (subbed for Loral as I couldn't get that locally)
Lallemand LalBrew Wit yeast (subbed for WL/WYE as I couldn't get those locally)
Raspberries 908g
Coriander 14g
Bitter Orange Peel 28g

I'm guessing at the quantities of the adjuncts from my memory and looking at other recipes.

Someone on reddit suggested asking chatgpt oops to try and cobble a recipe together, so I've been reluctantly playing around with that as a starting point, and using all the other recipes that have been suggested to try and get as close as I can to a clone.

It's brew day so I'm going to go ahead and try. I'll let y'all know how it goes.

Thanks for the support!
Also: This may no longer be the right thread for this level of detail... do I (or admin) need to move this to a more relevant spot on the forum?

 

[Dave Y]

I'd suggest creating a public recipe for comment. We have lots of ancient ... old ... vintage... EXPERIENCED brewers here.
Post in the recipes for feedback.

Regarding ChatGPT, I recently checked it against a recipe I have used and it came out shockingly close to what I had and it has reference links for further research. It was quite a fun little experiment. I am intrigued enough to use it again but I prefer to come up with my own recipes. I may take some influence from research, but I do not clone or copy recipes unless it is to reproduce something.

Good luck and let us know where you land.

Thanks Yooper,
I didn't have a brewgr account I was hoping the link might be enough, but if not, no worries.
Appreciate the assistance!

Was it publicly available on brewgr.com? If so, the Internet Archive almost certainly has it. Ho to archive.org and search for brewgr.com, they have several years of snapshots of the site.
