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 product.
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 reference data for hops, yeast, fermentables, water, styles, and fermentation, plus comparison tools and calculators for recipe planning.
What you can inspect
Live public toolset with searchable brewing references, comparison tools, calculators, and open JSON data.

Messy reference data, normalized
Ingredient data from scattered sources became one consistent model. The same work sits under product catalogs, policy data, and reporting.
Data people use, not just store
Search, side-by-side comparison, substitution, and calculators sit on top of the model.
Open to other systems
Open JSON access lets other tools build on the same data instead of copying it.
