About Beer Analytics

Beer Analytics is a database of beer brewing recipes, built specifically for data analysis. The database currently contains 986,434 recipes, mostly from the homebrewing community. It is made for beer enthusiasts and (home)brewers to provide detailed insights into brewing recipes, even when they're not an expert in data analysis. The goal is to expand the knowledge how certain types of beer are typically brewed, ultimately helping (home)brewers to compose better recipes themselves, and potentially uncover some trends in craft/home brewing.

It as created by beer enthusiast, homebrewer and software engineer Christian Scheb, who was feeling the need to get better insights how certain beers are composed, other than clicking through dozens of recipes. After starting a Jupyter data analysis project for himself in August 2020, he decided build a website from it, so other homebrewers can benefit from these insights alike.
