brewtarget

Brewtarget is a free, open‑source application for creating and managing beer recipes on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Users assemble recipes by dragging and dropping ingredients, while the program automatically calculates key parameters such as color, bitterness, original gravity and and other brewing metrics. The tool also includes utilities like a priming‑sugar calculator, original‑gravity correction assistance, and a mash‑design module that helps plan the mashing process.

Recipes can be exchanged with other brewing software through support for BeerJSON and BeerXML formats, enabling easy sharing with friends who use programs such as BeerSmith. The software’s design focuses on a single, integrated environment for both hobbyist and more experienced brewers to develop and refine their formulations.

Brewtarget is released under a stable, mature version (4.0.1) and is maintained via its GitHub repository, with documentation and downloads provided on the current website. It targets users who need a straightforward, cross‑platform solution for beer recipe formulation and calculation.
