# Brewtools Cloud

[Brewtools Cloud](https://brewtools.cloud/) is the cloud platform from Brewtools (by [Apparatus AS](https://apparatus.no/)) that enables remote monitoring and data sharing for Brewtools brewing systems. Connecting Brewtools Cloud to Brewfather allows your recipe and batch data to be shared between the two platforms.

To connect your Brewtools Cloud account to Brewfather do the following:

1. Click the profile icon in Brewtools Cloud on the top right\
   ![](/files/jDNJM0tgJzwuA5dQ7jNJ)
2. Click "Profile"
3. Click the blue "Connect with Brewfather" button\

4. Follow the instructions to log into your Brewfather account and accept the integration.

Your recipe and batch data will be shared with Brewtools Cloud ([Apparatus AS](https://apparatus.no/)) when the integration is activated.

## What is Brewtools Cloud?

Brewtools Cloud is a Connected App integration. Unlike Power-up integrations that use an ID or URL for device logging, Connected Apps use an OAuth-style authorization flow to link your accounts. Once connected, you can send recipes directly from a batch in Brewfather to your Brewtools brewing system.

When the integration is enabled, a **Send** button appears in the brew-controller section of the Brewing tab on your batch page. This lets you quickly push your recipe to your Brewtools machine.

For more information on how Connected Apps work and how to manage them, see [Connected Apps](/connected-apps.md).

## Troubleshooting

* **Connection not working after setup:** Make sure you completed the authorization flow in both Brewtools Cloud and Brewfather. You should see Brewtools listed under **Settings > Integration > Connected Apps** in Brewfather.
* **Need to re-authorize:** If the connection stops working, remove the integration from **Settings > Integration > Connected Apps** in Brewfather, then reconnect from Brewtools Cloud following the setup steps above.
* **Send button not visible:** The Send button only appears on the Brewing tab of a batch when the Brewtools integration is enabled and the batch status is set to Brewing.
