What it does today
Everything you need to design a batch
Pure, tested brewing maths that matches Brewfather to the decimal, with the local data those tools leave out.
Live stats against BJCP styles
OG, FG, ABV, IBU and colour recalculate as you type (Tinseth bittering, Morey colour) and chart against your target style, so you know instantly when a batch drifts out of range.
Real AU and NZ ingredients
Gladfield, Joe White and Voyager malts. Galaxy, Vic Secret and Nelson Sauvin hops. Local suppliers, not generic overseas substitutes, and ad-hoc ingredients just work.
