Brewers Math

Beer Recipe Builder

Build a grain bill and hop schedule and watch OG, FG, ABV, IBU and colour update live. Everything saves in your browser - no account, nothing sent anywhere - and you can import or export BeerXML any time, so your recipes are never locked in.

How it works

The builder runs entirely in your browser. As you edit the grain bill it predicts original gravity from your fermentables and efficiency, estimates final gravity and ABV from your yeast's attenuation, computes bitterness from the hop schedule (Tinseth), and works out colour in SRM - the same vetted formulas behind our individual calculators. Nothing is uploaded; your current recipe and your saved recipes live in this browser's local storage.

Your recipes are never locked in

Homebrewers have been burned by recipe apps shutting down. So this builder reads and writes BeerXML - the open format Beersmith, Brewfather and Brewer's Friend all support. Export any recipe to a .xml file you keep, or import one you exported from another tool. It is your data; take it with you.

Predictions are estimates that match the mainstream calculators - useful for designing, not a substitute for measuring your own gravities and efficiency. Because everything is stored locally, clearing your browser data will remove saved recipes; export anything you want to keep.
