It's a beer recipe planning / brewday helper software.

Personally I've been using it for years and been really happy with it.

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

Apparently they no longer maintain brewtarget.org, they just use the github now! They're up to version 3.0.9

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

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.

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.
