Our verdict on FermentIQ
FermentIQ is brewery and craft beverage production software for homebrewers, craft breweries, microbreweries, and larger operations. It brings together batch and fermentation tracking, inventory, recipes, quality control, compliance reporting, sales CRM, invoicing, returns, and delivery planning. Tilt Hydrometer integration supports fermentation records, while BrewBuddy provides a voice-enabled assistant for logging readings, checking inventory, updating batches, and generating recipes. The vendor says its plans support eight beverage types and scale from homebrewing to multi-site enterprise operations.
Pricing is organized into four tiers with monthly and annual billing. Homebrewing costs $30 per month or $330 per year and includes production management, inventory management, BrewBuddy AI, and brewing calculators. Craft is $149 per month or $1,639 per year, adding quality control and TTB compliance. Production costs $299 per month or $3,289 per year, with the same listed feature set as Craft. Regional is $599 per month or $6,589 per year, also listing production, inventory, AI, calculators, quality control, and TTB compliance. A 30-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
Compliance and quality workflows are the clearest differentiators. FermentIQ automates TTB Brewers Reports and international compliance reporting, provides lab quality management with trend analysis, and links inventory records to lots and reorder alerts. Recipe tools support scaling, costing, and BeerXML import/export, while sales workflows cover invoicing, credit notes, and returns. Integrations include Tilt Hydrometer, ADP, Gusto, Paychex, and Paylocity. Breweries needing these controls alongside production and commercial operations should consider FermentIQ; homebrewers may find the compliance-oriented tiers unnecessary, and teams requiring support beyond email should evaluate alternatives.
