Context

BrewCodex is aimed at brewers who need a better way to move from scattered ingredient facts to confident recipe decisions. The site brings brewing data, technical references, and practical tools into one public surface.

Challenge

Brewing decisions usually get split across forum threads, vendor sheets, recipe notes, and one-off calculators. That makes comparison, substitution, and process planning slower than it should be.

Approach

We shaped BrewCodex as a product built on normalized brewing data, then wrapped that foundation in searchable reference pages, side-by-side comparison views, substitution wizards, and recipe calculators.

What shipped

The live site includes hop, yeast, fermentable, water, style, and fermentation reference data, plus hop substitution and comparison wizards, malt and yeast comparison tools, and brewing calculators for starter size, carbonation, ABV, and gravity.
