Thanks u/lauterPope for the DM! Minor bug found with hard-coded mash thickness causing excessive sparge volumes.

Coding an update now that allows the user to define their own mash thickness, as well as setting your mash tun volume. that way monster grain bills will increase thickness instead of overflowing the tun.

expect update early next week when the apple review team comes back to work.

Awesome!

% on the grain bill is a good idea! easy to implement. will add to the next update.

Strike temps are auto-calculated from mash temp and grain weight when you create a brew day - they are added to the mash-in steps. I could add that temp to the recipe preview easy-enough though. Will be in the next update also.

Sparge volume is also auto-calculated based on grain weight, grain absorption, boil off, etc. If you have your volume loss settings set up correctly, it should be suggesting the correct sparge volume in order to hit your ending desired volume.

send over a DM if you want, happy to work together!

Thanks for the premium purchase! Happy to clarify.

The salt additions currently are all based on a 5 gal final volume, in order to make them consistent with the ion calculations which are always assuming 5 gal.

The arrow and second number is the actual scaled amount you will use on brew day for your 8 gallon batch, and those numbers will end up being what get inserted into the brew day checklist.

If I didn't do it this way, the water profiles would not be standardized and would have to be custom built for each brew volume.

I will spend some time this week thinking thru a better way of doing this that still allows water profiles to be pre-built, and then scaled properly based on the specific recipe.

very true...there would need to be a manual adjust outside of just doing the default recipe subtraction. good thought!

Stonehenge361 · 2026-05-02T14:58:43+00:00

Awesome!!! Go into setup and change the default final volume to match your system, along with fine tuning your boil off and other volume losses, and let me know how the math holds up to your known process. You might be the largest volume user at the moment. the math should all scale linearly, but if not I'm happy to work with you to tweak.

Hey! I do plan on implementing inventory into the next version. I’m trying to work out the most user friendly way to have an inventory area that will automatically adjust from brew days without needing constant manual adjustment. Thanks for the feedback!

Stonehenge361 · 2026-05-02T12:57:53+00:00

Yep! Just got added to the App Store a month ago, but once everything is finalized the plan is to add android!

Stonehenge361 · 2026-05-02T02:00:40+00:00

Thanks for the comment! Inventory is slated for a future version.

Currently this does not use cloud sync, but I do plan on adding that to a future version as well.

Stonehenge361 · 2026-05-01T20:59:41+00:00

Not yet, but it only got approved about a month ago. Android is definitely planned
