Stop Pouring Money Down the Drain: How Recipe Tracking Prevents Costly Brewing Mistakes

Remember That Batch?

You know the one. The double IPA brewed from the old recipe—before you'd fixed the hop schedule. The lager that fermented too warm. The decimal point that turned a session ale into rocket fuel.

Every brewer has a batch they'd rather forget. Standing at the floor drain, watching hundreds of dollars gurgle away.

It doesn't have to keep happening.

The Problem With "We'll Remember It"

Recipe changes get scribbled on printouts. Notes don't make it back to the spreadsheet. Three months later, nobody remembers why the change was made—or that it was made at all.

One bad batch per quarter adds up fast. Ingredients, labour, lost sales, occupied tank space. It's expensive.

How Breweze Helps

Recipe Version Control

Every edit creates a new version. Every version is timestamped with notes about what changed. Roll back instantly if needed. See exactly what you brewed six months ago when the beer was perfect.

Batch Tracking

Every batch links to a specific recipe version. When something goes wrong—or right—you can trace back exactly what was brewed. Spot patterns across batches.

Alerts

Breweze watches your batches and tells you when something needs attention:

• Fermentation stalling? You'll know in days, not weeks
• Target gravity reached? Get notified before you over-ferment
• Dry hops need pulling? Reminders before your beer turns grassy

Breweze won't make you a better brewer—you're already good at that. But it will make sure your knowledge doesn't get lost and your batches don't become expensive lessons.
