How it works
A clear path from shelf to brew day.
01
Add your shelf
Enter ingredients individually or describe them in one sentence.
02
Set your system
Choose your equipment, batch size, efficiency and losses.
03
Choose a match
Compare recipe fit, missing ingredients and expected targets.
04
Brew the plan
Work through water, mash, boil and fermentation steps.
Smart substitutions
Change an ingredient, not the character of the recipe.
When a malt, hop or yeast is unavailable, BrewHero suggests suitable alternatives and explains the trade-off. The adapted recipe is checked against its original targets instead of treating a swap as a simple one-to-one replacement.
