# Brewtools

Brewtools integration is made available from Brewtools firmware version 1.8.2 and newer. The integration makes it possible to download a recipe from Brewfather to the Brewtools control system using a 5 character code. The recipe can then be stored and edited on the Brewtools control system. You can also find more information about the integration in the Brewtools documentation: <https://docs.brewtools.com/software/brewfather-integration>

## How to use the integration

Enable the Brewtools integrations in the settings page.

After this is done you can in your batch: "Brewing tab" click -> "Send" to generate a code you can use to load the recipe into your Brewtools controller.

On the Brewtools controller select Recipe -> Brewfather Icon. Type in the 5 digit code to load the recipe.

### Step 6

A 5-character code will appear. The code will be valid for a minimum of 10 hours, but it may occasionally be deleted.

The controller will then download the recipe and display it. It is always recommended to verify the content before running the recipe. If mandatory fields are missing, they will be indicated with red background and you will need to fill it in before you can save it on the controller.
