Hop Scheduler

BrewCo Brew Tools

Set your hop additions and boil time, hit start, and this scheduler will count down to each addition and alert you (with sound) — so you never miss a hop drop mid-boil.

How to use it

  1. Set your total boil time in minutes.
  2. Enter each hop addition's timing (minutes remaining when it goes in — e.g. 60, 15, 5) and name it.
  3. Hit Start — the timer counts down and alerts you at each addition point.

Tips for hop scheduling

Add bittering hops early (usually 60 minutes) for maximum isomerisation and bitterness. Add flavour hops mid-boil (15–20 minutes) for a balance of flavour and some bitterness. Add aroma hops late (5 minutes or at flameout) to preserve the volatile oils that give aroma — these boil off quickly with extended heat.
