It's a beer recipe planning / brewday helper software.
Personally I've been using it for years and been really happy with it.

I didn't know about it till now, but I am a beginner. Just brewed my first beer a few weeks ago and planning on a second soon. I'll take a look. I know about brewfather and brewers friend, didn't know about an open source solution.

Welcome to the club! What did you brew?

Just a smash with pale malt and centennial, made a million mistakes but it turned out ok. Wouldn't say it was great, but nobody had any problems with drinking it and it went away within a few days. But I made my own recipe in brewers friend and that's one of the many mistakes I made. I only had a very basic setup and minimal equipment, so for my next time,it's going to be a lot better, I bought a keg, a CO2 tank and a fridge, so as long as I follow a good recipe, it's gonna be good!

I've used various stuff like this before... Excited to see this! I gotta get back to brewing soon!

Such a cool app I will look it up in my repo (Mint) since it is also Linux. I have been using some ancient excel sheets until now.

Yes, Linux support is a big deal for me too.
For any Archers out there, it's available in AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brewtarget

I got from Manjaro after I realised that I don't need bleeding edge software and I was capable of destroying my installation several times, so Mint with Xfce it is.
Also software that I needed arch for I didn't need anymore.

Me reading this comment as a brand new all-in full-time Manjaro Xfce user got me sweating, hoping I don't break my install. I'm already working through my bluetooth drivers exploding when going into suspend state.

Manjaro isn't a particularly stable distribution. They also have a habit of forgetting to update their encryption keys and other issues. Endeavour OS is probably a better choice.

Apparently they no longer maintain brewtarget.org, they just use the github now! They're up to version 3.0.9
https://github.com/Brewtarget/brewtarget/releases/tag/v3.0.9

Very cool! Does anyone know if it supports digital hydrometers like the Tilt?

Thanks for this! I'd just sprung for BeerSmith on my phone a couple of years ago and used it on ChromeOS's Android emulation as well, but I've since removed ChromeOS and am left with just a tiny phone screen.
I see it's got BeerXML exporting and importing capabilities, I'll certainly get it on my Linux machine to use a proper screen for my designs.
And it seems to be endorsed by Wil Wheaton!
