ezRecipe Design Features
The recipe management system is one of ezRecipe Design’s strongest points — it turns a single Excel workbook into a centralized, searchable brewing recipe library, while also making it easy to modify, scale, and export recipes without breaking your formatting or calculations. All recipes, brewing profiles, settings, and calculations are contained in a single easy-to-backup macro-enabled Excel file. Your Excel file is saved locally on your computer for safekeeping and fast response time, or can be backed up to the cloud.
Built-in Copy Recipe and Save As functions let you branch versions while keeping the original intact. Great for iterative brewing — you can tweak hop timings, adjust mash temps, or change yeast without losing your base recipe. Search recipes by name, style, ABV range, SRM color, IBU range, or date brewed. Sort the recipe library by style, last brewed date, efficiency, or any calculated metric. Filtering is handled by Excel’s built-in sort & filter tools, meaning you get instant and intuitive control without learning a new search interface.
The combination of Excel’s storage flexibility and ezRecipe Design’s purpose-built brewing interface means you can keep all your brewing history in one place. Iterate on recipes without losing the original data. Scale, share, do what-if scenarios, and analyze recipes with minimal manual rework and quickly see how changes affect style guidelines, water chemistry, and final beer balance.
