For ferments that are not sweet black tea.

Jun on raw honey. Herbs, coffee or yerba mate instead of tea. Grape must or fruit juice fermented with a kombucha culture. Your culture has not changed, so BrauMo does not make it a separate product: you write in what you ferment on, say what sweetens it, and the numbers follow.

Your recipe should say what you actually brew

Most brewing software has one field for tea and one for sugar. If you ferment on something else, you spend the rest of your record-keeping working around two words.

Write in your own substrate

Tea, a herbal infusion, coffee, yerba mate, a juice, a grape must, or the blend you named yourself. There is a list of suggestions and you are free to ignore it. What you type is what your recipes, brew sheets and records say from then on.

Honey counts as the sugar it carries

Honey is roughly 82 percent sugars and the rest is mostly water, so 80 g/L of it does not deliver 80 g/L of sugar. The recipe shows both figures: the amount you weigh out, and the fermentable sugar the culture actually receives. Measured your own lot? Put your number on the item and it wins.

A liquid substrate fills the tank

Must and juice stay in the vessel where tea is steeped and strained back out. Give yours a share of the fill and BrauMo counts it: the water is worked out around it, the litres come off the right stock item, and the batch adds up to the volume you planned.

Declare your own alcohol ceiling

A product you sell as alcoholic is not a failed non-alcoholic one. Say what your ceiling is on the recipe, and the batch keeps that figure with a note of whose it is. Your records are then judged against what you declared, not against a claim you never made.

BrauMo documents; it never blocks production and never decides for you. Where a figure has not been measured it says so, rather than showing you a number it made up.

Questions these producers ask first

Is this an extra module?

No. It is included in the flat price, with every other feature, for every producer. There is nothing extra to buy and nothing to unlock.

Is Jun different from kombucha in the app?

It is a kombucha with a different sweetener, which is exactly how the industry's own code of practice defines it: a traditional kombucha, except that only raw honey is used. So it is not a separate line to switch on. You pick raw honey as the sweetener and the app does the rest, including the sugar conversion.

What if I ferment on something not in your list?

Then type it. The list is suggestions, not permitted values. Sea buckthorn, rooibos, a house blend: whatever you write is stored and shown back to you. Where BrauMo has nothing true to say about a substrate it stays quiet rather than guessing.

I sell above 0.5 percent. Will the records call it a failure?

Not once you declare your ceiling. Set it on the recipe and each batch keeps that figure along with a note that it is yours rather than a market default, so the control point reads it as the number to meet. What the app cannot do is tell you which rules apply to you where you sell.

Can I still do flavoured second ferments?

Yes. A first ferment splits into flavoured second-ferment batches exactly as it does on tea, and each split keeps its own readings, lot and history.

One licence also covers: Vinegar production · Water kefir production · Continuous brewing

Made for the fermentation floor, not for the cloud

The decisions behind BrauMo, applied to a line nobody wrote software for.

Works without internet

BrauMo runs on your own computer and serves every phone and tablet on the local network. A bottling afternoon does not depend on the wifi holding.

Your data, your machine

One database file, in your house, owned by you. No cloud account, no telemetry, nothing of yours on somebody else's servers.

Four languages

English, German, Spanish and Portuguese: every screen and every document, built by a working fermentation producer and answered by the same person.

Included in the flat price

Substrates, sweeteners and the ceiling you declare are not a module and carry no surcharge. One price per producer, unlimited users, every feature. In the EU that is €59 a month on the yearly plan or €79 month to month; in emerging markets, US$29 or US$39.
