2026 beta · Limited spots

Brew your first beer without fear of messing it up.

From the recipe you pick to your first sip, the app tells you what to do, when, and why. No jargon, no mental math, no nasty surprises.

A note for English-speaking brewers: the app launches in French first.
An English interface is planned, and you can already follow the project here in English.

The journey

From recipe to first pour

Four stages, with clear guidance at each one. You always know what comes next.

Screenshots on this page show the current French interface. An English app interface is planned.

  1. App recipe catalog: a list of public recipes with their IBU, ABV and volume figures

    Pick your recipe

    Compare community-rated clone recipes and choose one you want to brew. No jargon.

  2. Brew-day control screen during the mash at 67°C, with a timer and steps

    Brew step by step

    Timers, temperatures and the why behind every move: the app guides you through mash, boil and chill.

  3. Fermentation screen with a day 5 of 14 progress bar and the current gravity

    Track fermentation

    Days, gravity, temperature. One glance and you know where you stand.

  4. ‘Batch complete’ celebration screen with the bottle and a custom label

    Bottle it, taste it

    Add your label, share it with friends, and enjoy the beer you made.

Three tools, one copilot

The essentials, and nothing but

No feature bloat. Three pillars, built to save you time and help you level up.

Learn as you brew

Understand what you brew

Not just how, but why. The Academy gathers sourced articles and a brewing glossary - from ingredients to fermentation, from your first batch to fine-tuning.

Brewing Academy home screen: a summary card (10 articles, 8 calculators), a search bar, theme filters and an article list (history of beer, introduction to brewing, malts and fermentables)

Clear guidance, no jargon

Learn about ingredients, color, alcohol and fermentation through clear, source-backed articles organized by topic.

Glossary term screen for IBU, with its detailed definition and its bibliographic source

A sourced glossary

IBU, gravity, attenuation… every term defined simply, with sources - brewing books and standards.

Frequently asked

The doubts before you dive in

Do I need to be handy to brew my own beer?

Not at all. A pot, a fermenter, some bottles - and the app telling you what to do at every step. If you can cook pasta, you can brew a beer.

How much does it cost to get started?

A complete starter kit typically costs around €60–120. Most of the equipment is reusable, so your first purchase supports many future batches.

How long does a batch take (the first time)?

Half a day for the brew session (4-5h), then 2 to 3 weeks of fermentation where you’ve got almost nothing to do. The app reminds you of the critical checkpoints.

And if I botch my first batch?

A disappointing first batch is still useful. The app helps you review each step, understand what happened and improve the next brew.

When will the app be available?

A rolling beta through 2026. Waitlist signups get first access.
