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.

  • Style-aware alternativesSuggestions depend on the role of the ingredient and the beer style.
  • Recipe impact made visibleSee how gravity, bitterness, color and flavor direction may change.
