It’s a beer recipe planning / brewday helper software.
Personally I’ve been using it for years and been really happy with it.
I didn’t know about it till now, but I am a beginner. Just brewed my first beer a few weeks ago and planning on a second soon. I’ll take a look. I know about brewfather and brewers friend, didn’t know about an open source solution.
Welcome to the club! What did you brew?
Just a smash with pale malt and centennial, made a million mistakes but it turned out ok. Wouldn’t say it was great, but nobody had any problems with drinking it and it went away within a few days. But I made my own recipe in brewers friend and that’s one of the many mistakes I made. I only had a very basic setup and minimal equipment, so for my next time,it’s going to be a lot better, I bought a keg, a CO2 tank and a fridge, so as long as I follow a good recipe, it’s gonna be good!
I’ve used various stuff like this before… Excited to see this! I gotta get back to brewing soon!
Such a cool app I will look it up in my repo (Mint) since it is also Linux. I have been using some ancient excel sheets until now.
Yes, Linux support is a big deal for me too.
For any Archers out there, it’s available in AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brewtarget
I got from Manjaro after I realised that I don’t need bleeding edge software and I was capable of destroying my installation several times, so Mint with Xfce it is.
Also software that I needed arch for I didn’t need anymore.
Me reading this comment as a brand new all-in full-time Manjaro Xfce user got me sweating, hoping I don’t break my install. I’m already working through my bluetooth drivers exploding when going into suspend state.
Manjaro isn’t a particularly stable distribution. They also have a habit of forgetting to update their encryption keys and other issues. Endeavour OS is probably a better choice.

Very cool! Does anyone know if it supports digital hydrometers like the Tilt?
Apparently they no longer maintain brewtarget.org, they just use the github now! They’re up to version 3.0.9

Thanks for this! I’d just sprung for BeerSmith on my phone a couple of years ago and used it on ChromeOS’s Android emulation as well, but I’ve since removed ChromeOS and am left with just a tiny phone screen.
I see it’s got BeerXML exporting and importing capabilities, I’ll certainly get it on my Linux machine to use a proper screen for my designs.
And it seems to be endorsed by Wil Wheaton!
