Public Beta
Join the Brewfather 3.1.0 Public Beta on the web, iOS, or Android and review the changes currently being tested.
The current public beta version is Brewfather 3.1.0. The public beta lets you try selected features and improvements before they move to the stable release.
Beta software can contain bugs, incomplete behavior, or changes that are not yet reflected in the stable app. The beta uses your regular Brewfather account and data, so changes you make are live account changes. Export a current backup before testing workflows that modify important data.
Use the beta on the web
Open beta.brewfather.app.
Sign in with your regular Brewfather account.
Confirm the app version from About when reporting an issue.
To return to the stable web app, open web.brewfather.app.
The web beta updates automatically. If a newly announced change does not appear, use Settings → Application → Reload Application.
Join the iOS or Android beta
Mobile beta access and current installation instructions are coordinated through the Brewfather Discord community:
Join the Brewfather Discord.
Open the #join-public-beta channel.
Follow the current instructions in that channel for the iOS or Android beta.
Install the beta, sign in, and confirm the version from About before testing.
Use #join-public-beta for updated enrollment information because TestFlight and Google Play testing instructions can change.
After you join the public beta, the beta channels become visible. Follow #public-beta-updates for the most up-to-date changelog information.
What is in version 3.1.0
New features
Native Brew Tracker timer, Live Activities, and widgets — Mobile timer state can continue through native notifications and widgets. Supported iPhones can show a Live Activity, while Android can show an ongoing timer notification. See Brew Tracker.
Selectable Water Calculator pH engines — Choose Water Engine 1, Water Engine 2, or Water Engine 3 (Advanced). Engine 3 adds Grain pH Profiles and per-malt assignments. See Water Calculator.
Expanded water adjustments — Auto-calculate mash acid, choose from additional acids, use Potassium Carbonate, and dose liquid Calcium Chloride in grams or milliliters. See Water Calculator.
Improved infusion and decoction planning — Configure manual infusion amounts and temperatures, thick or thin decoctions, manual pull amounts, optional decoction rests, and decoction boil-off guidance. See Mash Profiles.
BeerJSON recipe import and export — Exchange recipes using BeerJSON in addition to BeerXML and Brewfather JSON. See Import Recipes.
Inventory import and export — Import or export Brewfather JSON, CSV, BeerXML, and BeerJSON inventory files. Exports can include the current filtered view or all inventory owned by your account. See Inventory.
Juice and Honey fermentable types — Classify these ingredients without treating them as a generic sugar, adjunct, or extract. See Fermentables.
Trending community recipes — Sort the public Library by recent community activity. See Library.
Expanded API v2 write access — Create, update, and delete recipes and inventory items, and delete batches with separate permission scopes. See API.
Profile data update requests — Submit Equipment, Water, Mash, and Fermentation profiles for review in addition to ingredients. See Add/Update data.
Improvements and fixes
Brew sheets, recipe output, and the Brew Tracker provide clearer infusion and decoction actions with more consistent unit formatting.
Primary gravity and temperature series use colors that match their reading values in the fermentation chart. See Fermenting.
An attached iSpindel can use Plato or SG as its gravity input unit. See iSpindel.
Recipe history restore keeps a valid recipe folder when possible and otherwise restores the recipe to the default folder. See Data Safety.
Inventory exports now let you explicitly choose the filtered inventory or all inventory owned by your account.
Inventory purchase-cost calculations handle purchases made from zero or negative stock without carrying an invalid historical unit cost forward.
Native timer, widget, iSpindel logging, and public Library reliability have received additional fixes.
Find beta documentation
Pages that describe functionality still under public testing carry a beta tag. On pages that mix stable and beta behavior, a beta callout identifies the exact feature or improvement that is still being tested.
