Shape the brewing software you use.
BrewForge Feedback is where brewers request features, ask questions and see what’s being built. You post, members vote, and we build what brewers need most, right in the app.

How it works
From idea to changelog.
- 1
Post your idea
Request a feature or ask a question in your own words. A rough idea is enough.
- 2
We sort it
Your thread gets a clear title and a summary, and is linked to related requests so votes don’t get split.
- 3
Members weigh in
Basic and Pro members vote. Short questionnaires settle the details before anything is built.
- 4
It ships
The status moves from open to planned, in progress and shipped, and the release lands in the changelog.
Feature requests, ranked by brewers
Every request is a thread with a vote count. Sort by top, trending or recently active to see what other brewers want, and add your voice where it matters to you.
- Basic and Pro members (including the free trial) upvote feature requests
- Everyone with an account can post and reply
- Filter by status: open, under review, planned, in progress, shipped
- Find your own threads and the ones you voted for in one click
Questions with real answers
Not sure how a calculation works or where a setting lives? Ask in Questions. Answers come from the team and other brewers, and the best one is marked as accepted, so the next brewer finds it right away.
- Accepted answers at the top of the thread
- Helpful replies are upvoted, unhelpful ones fold away
- Follow a thread and get notified when it’s answered
Darker malts lower the estimated mash pH. BrewForge estimates it from each malt’s color and type, plus your water profile and salt additions.
Your input on the details
When a popular request gets close to being built, the thread gets a feature brief (how it could work, not a promise) and a short questionnaire. Your answers decide the details before the first line of code.
- Feature briefs show the planned approach in plain words
- 3 to 6 quick questions, answers in a few clicks
- See what other brewers picked once you’ve answered
How should the timer alert you at a hop addition?

AI helps, a brewer decides
An AI agent works for the BrewForge team: it writes summaries, links duplicates and answers questions from the docs, so nothing waits for days. Its posts are always labelled AI. What gets built, and when, is decided by Bernd, the homebrewer who makes BrewForge.
- AI posts carry an AI label, team posts a team badge
- Summaries stay up to date as the discussion grows
- Plans, dates and declines come from a human
Assign one brew to several fermenters and track the volume per vessel.
Most want it for kegs after primary, a few for split batches with different yeasts.

FAQ
Feedback questions
Do I need an account to join?
Yes. Feedback lives inside the BrewForge app, so you need a free account. Accounts can post once they are 7 days old, which keeps spam out. The public roadmap shows what’s planned and shipped without signing in.
Who can vote on feature requests?
Basic and Pro members, including during the free trial. Everyone with an account can post feature requests and questions, reply, and upvote helpful replies.
Are there posting limits?
Free accounts can start 3 threads and write 10 replies per month. Basic and Pro members can start 3 threads and write 30 replies per day.
Am I talking to an AI?
Sometimes, and you’ll always know. An AI agent helps the team tidy threads and answer questions from the docs; its posts are labelled AI. Decisions about plans, dates and declined requests come from Bernd.
Does the request with the most votes get built first?
Votes are the strongest signal, but not the only one. Effort, how a feature fits with the rest of the app and what members say in questionnaires count too. When a request is declined, the thread says why.
