Design, brew and control your beer — end to end.

Beer Control brings recipe design, brew day tracking, ingredients, equipment and a full brewing calculator suite into one workspace — so nothing gets lost between an idea and the glass.

From the creators of Hop Control.

How Beer Control works

Four stages that follow a beer from the first idea to the finished batch.

01

Design your recipe

Build your beer with real ingredients, live OG/FG/ABV/IBU estimates and a direct comparison against BJCP style guidelines.

02

Prepare your brew

Turn a recipe into a brew day with checklists for ingredients, water, equipment and yeast — so nothing is missing when you start.

03

Track every stage

Follow your batch from Planned to Completed, recording measured readings at each stage along the way.

04

Learn from each batch

Review your equipment's real efficiency and brew history so every recipe that follows gets more accurate.

Why Beer Control

Everything a brew day needs, in one place

Six areas of the workspace, each built around a real part of brewing a beer.

Recipe design

Build a recipe with real numbers, not guesswork

Every recipe comes with live OG, FG, ABV and IBU estimates as you build it, plus a direct comparison against BJCP style guidelines so you know how close you are to the style you're aiming for.

  • Ingredient-by-ingredient live estimates
  • Style-fit score against BJCP ranges
  • Side-by-side comparison charts
Beer Control Hop Intelligence panel with essential oils chart and aroma profile radar
Hop Intelligence

See a recipe's aroma profile before you brew

Beer Control's Hop Intelligence engine estimates the essential-oil contribution of every hop addition and plots the recipe's predicted aroma profile against the target style — precise, without claiming to replace Hop Control's own dedicated analysis.

  • Essential-oil breakdown per hop addition
  • Aroma profile radar vs. style
  • Bitterness and utilization metrics
Beer Control brew session pipeline from Planned to Completed with measured readings
Brew management

Follow every brew, stage by stage

Every brew moves through the same clear pipeline — Planned, Brewing, Fermenting, Conditioning, Packaged, Completed — with measured gravity, volume and timing recorded at each stage.

  • Preparation checklists before brew day
  • Stage-by-stage progress tracking
  • Measured vs. target readings
Beer Control inventory dashboard with stock levels and a missing-ingredient alert
Inventory & equipment

Know what's on the shelf before you brew

Beer Control checks your inventory against upcoming brews and flags what's missing, low or close to its best-before date — while equipment profiles keep every recipe's calculations grounded in real efficiency.

  • Low-stock and near-expiry alerts
  • Missing-ingredient warnings tied to your next brew
  • Equipment efficiency profiles
Beer Control brewing tools suite with quick calculators
Brewing tools

A full calculator suite, connected to your data

Water chemistry, mash temperatures, dilution, carbonation and more — usable standalone or connected directly to your recipes and equipment.

  • Water chemistry & mash calculators
  • Gravity, volume & dilution tools
  • Carbonation & packaging calculators
Beer Control database categories: hops, malts, yeasts, spices, styles and personal database
Brewing database

A reference library built into the workspace

Search a structured database of hops, malts, yeasts, spices and beer styles — or build your own personal database of go-to ingredients.

  • Hops, malts, yeasts & additives
  • BJCP style reference data
  • Your own personal database
Two products, one team

Built by the same team as Hop Control

Beer Control comes from the same creators as Hop Control. Beer Control covers the full brewing workflow — recipe, brew day, inventory, equipment and tools. Hop Control remains the dedicated, specialized tool for deep hop aroma analysis. The two are separate products with separate accounts and subscriptions.
