Software
GF Brew App
Brewery management system. From recipe to customer.
Production, cellar, stock, deliveries, invoicing and a till in one system. It works on its own. You can connect it to our Siemens PLC control, and the control data are then recorded automatically.
How it works
From buying ingredients to the customer
GF Brew control runs the equipment in the brewery. GF Brew App covers everything around production: ingredients, recipes, planning, stock, packaging, orders and invoices. Each part works on its own; connecting them is an add-on.

Who works with it
People
- Brewer and operators on the phone
- Office on the computer
- Customers in the B2B portal
GF Brew control works on its own
Operation on the panel, remote access to the panel and remote service via a Teltonika router work the same with or without the app.
GF Brew App works on its own
Without GF control, operators enter values on their phone. For a brewhouse from any manufacturer.

GF Brew App
Brewery management system
From recipe to customer.
- Where it runs
- In the browser on a computer and on the phone
- What it does

What the connection adds
- The brew sheet writes itself: temperatures, rest times, the course of fermentation and cleaning records are taken straight from the control
- Operators only add ingredient lots and notes
- You send the recipe and the fermentation set point from the app to the control
- Operation, safety and remote access stay in the control system unchanged

Connection to suit your brewery
