Brewhouse Manager

The Brewhouse Manager is an open source application designed for the home/micro brewer to help track what they have brewed and what they have on tap. In order to make tracking your beer better, the Brewhouse Manager optionally integrates with 3rd party brew systems and sensors to pull in your batch details and track the beer levels in your kegs.

Supported Third Party Integrations

Brew tracking applications

• brewfather: The brewfather integration allows you to associate a batch with a beer to auto import details. These details will refresh automatically until the batch is marked as completed.

Sensors

• Plaato Keg: These sensors have been discontinued by the manufacturer however, like us, I know there are many die hard fans out there taking theirs to the grave, so as long as their APIs and services still work, we will continue to support them!
• Kegtron Pro
• DIY Keg Volume Monitors
