Automating homebrewing recipe generation

Overview

In this personal project I majorly focused on CICID tools, type safety and simplicity for the end user.

Key Features

• Requires limited homebrewing knowledge and allow for a focus on flavour instead of the more complicated metrics in brewing
• Flexible quantity design which scales with different people's setup
• Concise and explained steps on how to complete with pictures

Technologies Used

• React and Next.js: For building the front-end codebase with clean, reusable components.
• Vercel Deployment: For hosting and custom domain deployments

Challenges and Learnings

• Maths, the maths was complicated for alot of metrics in this project and they affect each other so need some comlicated shared state in the background for determining recipe amounts etc.
• Splitting forms into many components to simplify input. Many more wrappers and embedded components than previous projects I have done.
• Web scraping some prices/metrics from local brew shops.
