iBrew - An iPhone Brew Log

[natelatte]

for what it's worth this is an awesome idea. But there is an application in development titled "beermath" which will have built in bitterness calculators plus much more. I think it is trying to very similar to a program called "beeralchemy" as it is being developed by the same person. The timer idea with custom alrms sounds awesome. As always where one so is good more are better to fuel each to improve. Good luck!

I would love an app like this just to keep me on my toes during brew day and to take up some time at lunch! The calculator part would ausome I mainly use a spreedsheet in a binder and this would be a great addition

 

[fat x nub]

That would be great! I have been wanting one to come out for soooo long

I agree, this is a great idea.

The biggest wish I had was for a session timer. program your boil time and all your hop additions, hit start...
recipe formulation would be good too.... I prefer to use paper and pencil for notes.

Any updates on this?

Well, I had good ambitions, but with work, the economy (which means more work), and the new born, I've not been able to do anything with this. In fact I haven't had time to brew in 4 months. :\

I just found this thread. I submitted my Homebrew calculator to the iTunes store for approval yesterday. I used it for only one brew so far, and it's pretty much a kludge, but it's free. I'll post again when it's available on the app store.
That reminds me - I have to post some more info about it on my webpage. (The Hardware Audioprocessor).

BTW, all it really has is some equations for doing hydrometer temperature adjustments and gravity (DME/water addition) adjustments to hit target gravity. And did I say it was a kludge? It is really nice to get a mashing efficiency calculation right away, even if it does make my iPhone sticky.

I use the iPhone app "BrewMath" by Kent Place Software. It's made by the same guy who made Beer Alchemy and it has a bunch of brewing calculations for $4.99. It would be awesome if they developed integration between both programs. For tasting notes I use the app "Beer Pad".

Please post back when it makes it onto the app store. I'll get it.

Just re-submitted the app to Apple. They didn't like the fact that I was calling it a beta. I'll post on a new thread when I get approved. Maybe it's just the vanilla porter, but I feel pretty good about this one.

He is, it's basically beer alchemy for the iPhone and it should be out in the next few months. You can even import and export between the programs, he says it will be able to export as different file types, I hope I can make it work with beersmith.

Does anyone know if any of these apps are available for the G1 as well? I know most iPhone apps are. Just curious cause I plan on upgrading to the G1 soon.

I would love to have something like this for my iphone. I am always checking for new tools to help with all my hobbies. I think this would be handy for formulating recipes when not at home. Having a shopping list and current inventory list would be great, I am always forgetting something when I go to the brew store. Also having a place to keep notes would be great when trying to troubleshoot a problem, its hard for me to remember all these numbers when someone is trying to help me. Aside from all that GOOD LUCK! I hope you can get it done and make a great app. I would definetly pay for something like this.

 

[Kass_Brauhaus]

Hey there. I would love to use this, but I don't have an iPhone or iTouch. I was wondering if you had something or if you know of something similar that would work on Windows mobile? I was thinking of doing something an Access, but that's just supporting the evil empire.

OPEN SOURCE FOR LIFE!

Any update on this??

 

[jamest22]

sounds cool. just be careful not to drop the old iphone into the boil pot....

 

[Julohan]

Is this app worth it?

 

[IrregularPulse]

I would never put my new Touchscreen Samsung Eternity close to my brew process. Nor would I if I had an iphone. I'll stick to the PC. Less likely to fall into the pot/get doused with water from leaving it sit somewhere.

 

[GhostDog]

is this available currently?

 

[jcbrewer]

Check this one out:iTunes link

 

[bendavanza]

Not to dismiss the discussion here, but..
I use BrewPal in the iphone, it does most of what I'd want it to do and they have been pretty quick with free updates.

Here is one that I like... My Brew.

You can keep basic info about your beer and log pictures and notes etc. You can also e-mail them to friends.
