• Import of BeerXML and Promash recipe files.
• Export to BeerXML / BrouwHulp XML files.
• Export to clipboard as a forum table.
• Export to clipboard as html table.
• Synchronization of databases to another location (including ftp site).
• Print log form and print log form.
• Comparison of recipe parameters with parameters of the chosen beer style.
• Import fermentable ingredients by weight or as a percentage of the landfill.
• Import of hops by weight or as a bitterness contribution.
• Automatic calculation of hop aging.
• Increase and decrease of bitterness by entering an IBU value, after which hop quantities are adjusted.
• Direct adjustment of amounts, percentages of fermentable ingredients and bitterness contribution of the hops in the ingredient list.
• Design water profile, automatically and manually.
• Estimate pH of the batter based on wort color, water profile and additions of lactic acid and brewing salts.
• Calculation of the addition of acid or base to arrive at the correct pH of the batter.
• End estimate SG.
• Automatic calculation of high-gravity brews.
• Automatic calculation of the virtual start SG when adding sugar in the fermentation vessel.
• Mash temperature calculations.
• Calculation of volumes in brewing kettles based on the number of centimeters below the rim that is the liquid surface.
• Calculation of infusion water and decoction quantities.
• Calculation of water quantities.
• Keep track of many measurements during the brewing day, fermentation and packaging.
• Mashing and cooking timers. Stopwatch for other things to be clocked.
• Calculate yeast starter size or amount of dried yeast required.
• Automatic and manual design of stepped yeast starters.
• Analysis charts of all beer style recipes or brews.
• Import TControl log file and display in graph, also in the log.
• Entry of tasting notes of the brewed beers.
• Entry of notes during or after the brewing day.

• Sorting recipes by order number / code and name and by beer style.
• Setting options for, for example, database location, bitterness and color calculation method.
• Conversion SG to Plato and Brix degrees and vice versa, both before and during and after fermentation.
• Refractometer calculations.
• Hydrometer temperature correction.
• SG calculations when adding water and sugar.
• Separate packing input for bottles and casks.
• Calculate the amount of bottled sugar to be added.
• Calculate required pressure for forced carbonization of kegs.
• Print overview of brews between two dates or between two sequence numbers / codes.
• Import your own brewery logo, which is then printed on all forms to be printed.
• The Cloud: recipes in XML or Promash format that are placed with messages on the Hobbybrewing forum, automatically end up in the cloud. You can view these recipes and copy them to your own database
• You can choose to see the extract as SG or as degrees Plato.
• Create analysis graphs (XY graphs and histograms) of your brews. The XY graphs represent the best linear, polynomial, power or exponential fit.
• Make analyzes with neural networks. The predictions that the neural network makes are then reflected in your brews.
• Graphs of properties of ingredients.
