Design recipes on the go from your phone or tablet!
BeerSmith Web vs Mobile App Explained
- If you purchase a BeerSmith desktop license at the Gold, Platinum or Pro level it already includes the BeerSmith Web version, which you can use from your phone or tablet at no additional cost. Just log into BeerSmithRecipes.com from your phone or tablet browser to use it. You can also try the web version for free there.
- You can also optionally buy the BeerSmith Mobile app below for your phone or tablet as a separate purchase from the Google Play or Apple app store. This app gives you the option of storing recipes in the cloud/web or on your device.
BeerSmith 3 Mobile
The BeerSmith Mobile app is a separate purchase from the Apple app store, Amazon kindle app store, or Google Play. It has a full suite of recipe building tools and includes most of the functionality of the desktop version formatted for a smaller screen.
BeerSmith™ mobile brings you full recipe editing. You can add new ingredients, alter your mash schedule and run the brewday timer all from your phone or mobile device. It also has the ability to create new recipes on your mobile device. It will be available for the iPhone, iPad, Android, Android Tablet and Kindle Fire operating systems.
Cloud Access to Your Desktop Data
BeerSmith™ Mobile is integrated with the BeerSmithRecipes.com recipe sharing site, so you can easily transfer your recipes to your cloud folder from your desktop and open them on your phone for editing. You can also edit recipes in your cloud folder on your mobile device, making it easy to manage your recipes on the go.
Your profile data (equipment, mash profiles, fermentation profiles) can be saved from your cloud recipes to your mobile device to make it easy to get started using your equipment setup or favorite mash schedule. Ingredients can also be viewed and saved from any recipe so its easy to add ingredients from your favorite recipe to your mobile ingredient database.
Recipe Editing, Scaling, Adjustment Functions
Click on the edit button to open any recipe for editing. BeerSmith™ mobile shows the color of the beer as well as a style guide comparison that are updated as you edit. You can easily add new ingredients from the pre-loaded list of ingredients at the click of a button. The full BJCP style guide is also included for building new recipes.
I’ve also included functions to change the original gravity, bitterness or color levels easily just like you can on the desktop version. BeerSmith™ mobile even includes the scale recipe command which can scale a recipe to match a different set of equipment all in one step.
Editable Recipe Profiles and Ingredients
You can save recipe profiles or ingredients from any recipe including those you have transferred from your desktop and fully edit them in BeerSmith™ mobile. Just view the recipe (don’t edit) and view the item you want to add, then save that item. You can also fully edit any of these profiles or ingredients. This lets you adjust your equipment losses, edit a mash profile or add a new ingredient on the fly.
The following items are fully editable:
- Recipes
- Equipment Profiles
- Mash Profiles
- Fermentation Profiles
- Age profiles
- Carbonation Profiles
- Hops
- Grains
- Yeasts
- Water Profiles
- Misc Ingredients
Brewday Timer with Session Data Entry
BeerSmith™ mobile includes the full brew day timer for both mash and boil phases, so you can drop a recipe into your cloud folder on your desktop, walk to the garage and start the timer from your mobile device. Alarms are played as you reach new steps such as mash step changes or boil ingredient additions.
BeerSmith™ mobile also includes an area for entry of session data and editable notes, so you can record critical volumes, gravities or notes as you brew and have them stored in your recipe for future reference.
Brewing Tools and Unit Converters
The BeerSmith™ app also includes a suite of 7 handy brewing tools for common functions like determining alcohol content, converting a refractometer reading or adjusting your mash temperature. I added unit converters for volume, weights, temperature, and OG to perform those functions.
