🍺 Top-down Brew: Beer Engine Overview

General Description

The Beer Engine is free, open-source brewing software for the purpose of recipe creation. Like most brewing software, it calculates the ingredient amounts needed for beer recipes. The big difference from other calculators is the results are percentage-driven rather than weight-driven. The desired percentages are used to calculate the weight needed. The output is one-click. It's much easier to start with percentage targets then get the weights needed rather than hunting around to get the right weights for hitting your target.
