DIY Dawg - BrewDog Homebrew
Love BrewDog craft beers? Got a favourite and wonder which Malt\Grain\Hops\Yeast they’ve used so you can clone it, or just curious about how the heck they manage it? Then this app is for you my friend!
DIY Dawg lets you quickly & easily find your favourite BrewDog craft beer recipe so you can see exactly which ingredients you need and the steps you need to take to recreate it! Brilliant I know. It gets better, once you’ve found it, export it to BeerXML format, speechless, right?
You may or may not be aware that last year the nutters over at BrewDog decided for reasons completely unknown to me *cough* MARKETING (probably) *cough* to release FOR FREE, COMPLETELY FREE, an awesome PDF called DIY Dog with a whopping 400+ recipes. :o
If you are into Home Brewing or even if you’re not (WHY NOT?) and are just interested in how the heck they are making all these great beers then this PDF, nay this BREWING BIBLE sent from the Brew Gods themselves is very VERY handy indeed!
My brother and I have brewed a couple of these recipes and they’ve turned fantastic, and for that we thank you Brew Dog, the problem we find is that it’s a right P.I.T.A. browsing through the huuuuge DIY Dog PDF (seriously it’s massive, around 100mb, 400+ pages…) trying to decide which recipe to cook up in our highly-sophisticated state of the art Mirco Brewery (aka. brothers garage), all this head scratching takes up quite a chunk of valuable time, time that we could be using to actually brew our beer\drink our beer or spend time with the family, that probably should have been first on the list, right?
Features:
Random button for picking random recipe without thinking too hard about what you want
Search, view & export any of the 400+ recipes
Sort by Name, ABV or IBU
Keep list of your favourites highlighted
Estimated beer colour from SRM for recipe
Key information highlighted in Recipe view for easy referencing
First 14 Pages of Diy Dog PDF under the “HomeBrewing 101” menu, these contain information about brewing Methods etc.
The recipes are scaled down to manageable 20Litre batches, perfect for the average Home Brewer. And include the exact Malts\Hops\Yeasts\Other along with the Amounts\Weights AND the actual METHOD to brew it! Not only that, it also includes ideal Food Pairings for each one.
This is my first Android app so constructive criticism, style improvements & features requests or just any general suggestions\comments are all welcome!
I’d like to expand the list & this app beyond just Brew Dog recipes at some point, so if anyone knows of any other free recipe lists from any other craft breweries\mirco breweries, or any particularly tasty brews that must be shared with the world let me know! Cheers.

My issue with export solved.... Needed to give app permission to storage. Unlike most apps it didn't ask for permissions on first use so if you find the issue I did with not exporting ..just open storage permission until Will codes this automatically Now definitely 5* for home brewers keen to expand into the wacky world of Brewdog.
Great app. Have you considered adding a report errors request changes feature? I only ask because I've found a recipe that's been entered slightly wrong. Rabiator is 10x the amount of wheat that is listed.
Please implement a unit toggle option for the US market. All our stuff (unfortunately) is in g, Oz, US gal, etc. (
Nice app. Could do with the update but otherwise great.
Love you can scale recipes
What an app some setious beers to brew on there
Fantastic app that brings the excellent recipes of BrewDog into an easy to use format
This is excellent, very easy to navigate. Top job.
Gallons and ounces would be nice.
Fantastic job great app, will there be a update soon with all the new recipes ?
Great app with good search functions. Better than DIY Dog pdf. Thanks 👌
Looks great. Much easier to navigate than the pdf. Looking forwards to some updates. Nice work
Looks like all the content from the pdf in an easy to access format. Ads are annoying though.
Handy guide that will come into use at some point of my brewing "career". Thank you.
Great app, easy to use and intuitive.
Love this app. I brew all grain and use the app for inspiration with my own brews. Great that you can search by hops used as well because I often have leftover ingredients and the recipes help when understanding which hop varieties work well together, for this reason alone it makes it better than the Brewdog PDF. Keep up the good work!
