Have Your Way with Brewer’s Friend

We’ve been working as fast as we can lately to build and fix all the great features that you, the Brewer’s Friend community, have sent our way. We’d like to take a moment to really open things up and see what you all are thinking and what would make your brewing experience even better. We want to know what you like, don’t like, want to see more of, loath entirely, want created, and so on. If you have something to say, please head over to our survey here:

Thank you all very much for the feedback, and more importantly for being the best homebrewing community out there!

Cheers!

Congrats to all the Winners!

It’s February 9th, and if you’ve been following our blog or social media accounts you know today marks the end of the first Brewer’s Friend giveaway!

We asked everyone to go back and update an existing recipe, or create a new recipe using one of our newest features, the addition of images!

231 of you added images. That’s quite the turn out!

The winners for this giveaway were selected using a random number generator. From our database I collected the username and emails of everyone who added an image to recipes, then added those members to a spreadsheet. The row number is your entry number. Random.org selected

225 – bret america
20 – chrisvdp
134 – otrum
157 – Branko
84 – kryanx

These are usernames associated with the account. We will be personally contacting all five winners to let them know they have won. I will need your address to ship out the Critter Cutters, but I have gone ahead and applied a one year subscription to the winner’s accounts providing them full access to Brewer’s Friend over the next year.

We really appreciate everyone who took the time to get entered. The addition of photos to recipes is just one of the ways we’re living up to our motto “Brew with Total Confidence”.

From everyone behind the scenes at Brewer’s Friend we thank you for your support and keep an eye out. We will be releasing new giveaways as we release new features!

This Weeks Newest Features on Brewer’s Friend

It’s been a very busy week behind the scenes of Brewer’s Friend. We’ve been busy working on a lot of the great ideas and features members have suggested, and some fixes you guys have been waiting on. We also brought on another programmer to help us make some headway. Thanks for helping us make Brewer’s Friend better!

First in the way of new features is our redesigned front page. It had been sometime since we updated it, so new to the front page is shared recipes, quicker access to the apps, and some general information to help new members get started.

We also implemented a new Slide Ruler search so you can find the beer you’re after preciesely based on OG, FG, IBUs, ABV and more. This will allow you the brewer greater control and access to the recipe database that so many have contributed to.

We also implemented some changes to the way search works. You can know search by a list of ingredients in order to find a beer based on what you have on hand, and the new ability to search by fermentables. We hope you enjoy the latest additions to the search ability!

While I have you, don’t forget to upload photos to your Brewer’s Friend recipes. The drawing for Critter Cutters and a one year membership takes place Februrary 9th, so make sure you get your recipes updated now to be considered for the drawing. Here’s a link with more information.

Brewer’s Friend Supporting Membership and more Giveaway!

From everyone at Brewer’s Friend we hope you enjoy the new features and good luck in the drawing!

Add Photos to your Brewer’sFriend Recipes!

“Brewing with Total Confidence” is at the heart of all we do and we just added a new feature that will add to that sense of confidence as we all brew better beer. You can now include photos to your Brewer’sFriend recipes!

Brewer’sFriend is already the greatest resource online when it comes to recipes, but with the implementation of this new feature we’ve taken it to a whole new level.

Being able to see the beer we’re brewing in all it’s phases can only help us improve our brewing, and the brewing of others. This also allows brewers of all levels to compare and contrast as they make their way to the next level of their brewing lending itself to our motto “Brewing with Total Confidence”.

This also works retroactively, so if you want to go back and update your recipes with photos of the brew you now have the ability.

If you have any questions or issues using this new feature please be sure to follow up in the forum.

Thanks for being a member of the greatest beer recipe site on the planet.
