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.

Heads-up for English speakers: the app’s interface launches in French first -
an English version is on the way. This site is already in English so you can follow along today.

The journey

From recipe to first pour

Four steps, a copilot at every moment. You’re never left alone in front of the kettle.

Screenshots throughout this page show the app’s French interface - the English app UI is in the works.

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

    Pick your recipe

    Compare the community’s clone recipes - rated and battle-tested - and adopt the one that tempts you. 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, savor it

    Slap on your label, share with friends, and enjoy your first creation.

Three tools, one copilot

The essentials, and nothing but

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

Recipe Studio screen with Ingredients tabs and live calculations

Recipe studio

Create, clone and tweak your recipes in a few taps. Version and compare without losing the thread.

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)

Landmarks, not jargon

Ingredients, color, alcohol, fermentation: clear articles, sorted by theme, to learn at your own pace.

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?

Roughly €60-120 for a complete starter kit. You’ll reuse it for 5-6 batches, and the gear pays for itself fast compared with buying good craft beer.

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?

It happens, and it’s almost always drinkable. The app walks back through each step to help you understand what happened - and your next batch comes out better.

When will the app be available?

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