Craft Beer Wizard vs. the alternatives
ChatGPT gives you unreliable text. Brewfather and BeerSmith are powerful but paid and have no AI. We combine the best of both worlds.

Frequently asked questions
Is this really free? What's the catch?
There is no catch. You can generate recipes without creating an account. We offer optional Premium for power users who want unlimited generations, but the free tier is fully functional.
How is this different from asking ChatGPT for a beer recipe?
ChatGPT generates generic text that often has incorrect measurements and impossible parameters. Our AI is trained specifically on BJCP style guidelines and outputs structured recipes with proper grain bills, hop schedules, mash plans and fermentation parameters that actually work.
What beer styles can I generate?
All 73 major BJCP styles including IPA, Stout, Lager, Wheat, Belgian, Sour, and more. You can also use Freestyle mode to describe any beer you can imagine.
Can I export my recipe to Brewfather or BeerSmith?
Yes. Every recipe can be exported as BeerXML, which is compatible with Brewfather, BeerSmith, Brewer's Friend, and other brewing software.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can generate your first recipe immediately without any signup. Creating a free account lets you save recipes, track brew sessions, and access the community.
Can I customize the generated recipe?
Yes. After generation you can adjust every parameter: swap grains, change hop varieties, modify mash temperatures, adjust batch size, and more. You can also use the 'Improve Recipe' feature to have the AI refine specific aspects.
