Verdant for a red ale? thoughts?
It's been ages since I brewed up a red ale. I use Verdant a lot for hazy IPAs and because I have it on hand, I'd give it a try for a red ale.
How's Verdant for this style?

I've built this and I invite you all to test it
Ive been brewing for over 30 years and lately been getting annoyed by the current apps on the market. I cant read the text anymore without glasses and think the brew apps should be more like games with touch button entries and larger fonts. The popular brew apps dont seem to take advantage of a touch screen at all.
It took a while to develop but I've got what I think is a really useful, accurate, and fun new app. What was meant to be a quick recipe and abv calculator grew into a full featured brew tool.
- equipment profile library
- cloud sync
- hardware (rapt, ispindel, tilt)
- solid water chemistry and recipe calculators
- batch logs and timers
- inventory tracking
The layout is intuitive and the touch button presets will make sense to you as brewers.
It's free and no login required to use it. Fully tested first by my brewing friends and then kindly tested by users in groups like this.
It's listed here at the Play Store if you want to check it out.

Hey r/homebrewing,
I've been brewing (home and pro) for years and I finally got tired of clunky spreadsheet-style apps with tiny fonts, boring interfaces, and workflows that make zero sense when you’re standing in front of a mash tun with sticky hands.
I had myself and my brew team in mind. Build a super quick and robust brew app we can use anywhere. It’s touch-first, fast, and mobile/tablet native. One-handed adjustments, quick keys for common temps/weights/times, hop/malt/yeast clickable tiles, real-time brew day and fermentation tracking, cloud sync, hardware integration (temp/gravity), water chemistry, the works. Plus - to make if fun - a community side where shared recipes and brewers are ranked by contribution and liked recipes. I’m giving the first 100 active test brewers “Founding Brewer" status to help shape it. In exchange for real feedback and logging a couple brews, they get early access + a year of premium.
Questions for y'all:
- Would you actually use a more touch-friendly app on brew day?
- What’s missing in your current setup (Brewfather, etc.)?
- Does real community ranking of recipes sound useful or gimmicky?
Happy to send invites to the first group if anyone wants to kick the tires before we launch. I'll send you a Google Play Store link to the app.
Tell me what you love, what you want added, and what is buggy. Our group has tested this out for weeks and weeks so I'm confident in the app but there will be some bugs uncovered I'm sure.
* Requirements: android device and a gmail account.
iOS will come after, not to worry!
Cheers

Im a professional brewer and homebrewer since the early 90s.
I've used all the brew apps and websites and found myself brewing with phone in hand and no really great app to use.
So we designed one!
Smooth, modern UI for touch screen entries, robust water chemistry, 1000+ recipe library, every brew tool and calculator, support for XML and JSON, and lots more.
We are in pre-launch on Google play store. We are inviting 50 people to be beta testers.
Requirements: android device. Thats it! Keep the app installed and use it a bit daily for 14 days.
Send me a DM if you are interested! We need only your gmail (the one you use to log into google play store)
Thank you
