Brewing does not need to be complicated.
This page is where I keep the tools, charts, calculators, and quick-reference guides that help you make better beer without spending half your life digging through forums.
If you cannot find the exact hop, malt, or yeast your recipe calls for, do not cancel brew day.
Around here, the rule is simple:
Recipes are guides, not handcuffs.
Use these tools to find reasonable substitutions, make smarter brew day decisions, and keep the beer moving.
Ingredient Substitution Charts
Hop Substitution Chart
Use this chart when your homebrew shop is out of a hop or you need a similar hop for bittering, flavor, aroma, or dry hopping.
Malt Substitution Chart
Use this chart when you need a replacement for a base malt, crystal malt, roasted malt, wheat, oats, rye, or other brewing grain.
Yeast Substitution Chart
Use this chart when your recipe calls for a yeast strain you cannot find and you need a reasonable replacement.
Coming Soon
