Brewers Almanack
Wraps comprehensive brewing reference data into six tools your AI can query directly. Search 85 BJCP beer styles with vital stats and commercial examples, diagnose 25 off-flavors with causes and prevention steps, look up 113 hops plus malts and yeasts with substitutes and characteristics, match water profiles by city or style, generate complete recipes with grain bills and hop schedules, and get beer and food pairings. All data is embedded, so there's no network dependency or API keys. Reach for this when you're recipe planning, troubleshooting a batch, or need brewing chemistry details without leaving your editor. Built on BJCP 2021 guidelines, published maltster specs, and brewing science literature.
