About this app

The Brew Timer is for brewers, professional and amateur alike, who need a better way to keep track of their brew during the brew day. The application allows the brewer to create individual entries for the timing of different brewing events like the addition of hops, spices, a wort chiller, etc. These events can also include a post-boil steeping time, allowing brewers to keep track of additional lengths of time after the boil ends. These events can be grouped together as a Brew Session and can be saved to device memory in a Recipe Profile that can then be loaded when needed for future use. Each Recipe Profile contains all the events needed for a complete brew session.

Brew Timer Features:
- Create, save, load, and delete multiple Recipe Profiles.
- Each Recipe Profile can contain events for all timed brewing processes.
- The Brew Timer can sound a user selected alarm and/or vibrate when an event needs your attention.
- Events can be added, edited, or removed while the the timer is running in case a modification needs to be made on the fly.
- Color-coding of individual event entry’s remaining time lets you quickly determine how soon an event will trigger.
- The Brew Timer can be paused and resumed at any time.

The Brew Timer is also great for timing coffee roasting, baking or anything else you may need to keep track of multiple timing events.

I'm a little confused. I set events and when the time arrives, I hear the alert, which is great. But I've had a few beers so I can't figure out how to make the sound STOP until the next event time is reached. In other (less drunken) words, I want to have an alarm for 15 minutes remaining in the 60 minute boil, and an alarm at 10 minutes remaining. So I start the app and it begins counting down from 60. When it gets down to 15, the alarm sounds but I can't make it STOP going off. I want to be able to push a button to stop the alarm sound but lets the timer continue down to 10 minutes, when the alarm would sound again until I stop the alarm sound, and then the app continues to count down to zero and the alarm sounds again. I don't want it to make one chime noise when it reaches an event, I want it to continue until I push the button to stop the sound. How do I do this?

Hi Glenn, All you need to do is go to your notification menu (the place where email and missed phone call notifications pop up) and swipe down, that should silence the alarm. There is also an option to make the alarm only sound once and then stop in the options menu. If you need more help feel free to reach out to me at brewtimer@humanjoe.com

This is a great app for brew day. I use it to time my mash, boil, and steep/whirlpool. I've set up about 8 saved routines. Save a ton of hassle over using regular timers.

I love this app and would like to pay for it. There was a question (my bad) and with an email I was sorted pretty much immediately.
