Brew Pal

Brew Pal provides the all-grain or extract home brewer easy access to the most used calculations and statistics in an attractive, easy-to-use package.

- Grain bill
Enter your grain bill by selecting from predefined grains and quickly estimate your SRM (color), original and final gravities, as well as alcohol % given your brewhouse efficiency and yeast attenuation.

- Mash and sparge
Calculate the amount and temperature of strike and sparge water you will need to hit specific temperatures. Supports calculations of three separate infusions.

- Boil/Dry hops
Enter your hop additions by selecting from predefined hops and quickly estimate your IBU (bitterness). Supports dry hopping.

- Flavor/Fining additions
Enter flavorings and finings by selecting from a predefined list. Supports boil and fermenter additions.

- Yeast pitching rate
Given a volume and original gravity (from your grain bill or measured gravity), get the number of yeast cells to pitch, conveniently translated into liquid packs and grams of dry yeast. Pick your yeast from a predefined list.

- Gravity calculator
Using either a hydrometer or refractometer, correct for temperature, wort, and alcohol content.

- Results
See how ya did! Supply the original and final gravities, and Brew Pal will tell you your extract, attenuation, alcohol content, calories and overall efficiency.

- Carbonation calculator
Keg carbonation chart based on temperature and style.

- Styles comparison
Compare your recipe with BJCP style guidelines. Brew Pal can show you only the styles that closely match your recipe, or present a complete list of BJCP styles.

- Color and flavor charts
Compare your beer with SRM color swatches or spin the flavor wheel to narrow in on that taste or smell.

- Load/Save/Export
Save your current recipe on your device... Load saved recipes from your device... E-mail any saved recipe to yourself.

- Timers/Calendar
Carry your mash, boil and fermentation timers with you. Get audible and vibrating reminders of important steps, and view your fermentation calendar on the go.

- Settings
Change your settings in a single tab.

- Configuration
Change the tab order and visibility.

Enter as much information as you have about your brew; estimates and averages are provided to fill in the blanks. Brew Pal remembers what you have entered so if your session is interrupted by a telemarketer's call, don't worry--your data is safe.
