Brewing safety notice
Brew with Tom is a journal and calculation aid. It cannot determine whether a batch is safe to package or drink.
Measure and check independently
Gravity, estimated alcohol, fermentation charts and reminders depend on your inputs, measurement method and assumptions. Check calibration, units and temperature corrections. A single reading, timer, chart or displayed estimate does not establish completion of fermentation.
Fermentation and pressure
Follow proven brewing procedures and equipment instructions. Packaging before fermentation is complete, unsuitable containers or incorrect priming can cause dangerous pressure, broken glass and injury. Do not rely on the app to calculate or approve a safe pressure or packaging decision.
Hygiene, ingredients and consumption
Use appropriate sanitation, food-safe ingredients and equipment, temperature control and safe handling of hot liquids and chemicals. Investigate unusual odours, appearance or possible contamination. The app cannot assess microbiological or allergen safety. Consume responsibly and follow medical advice where relevant.
Local laws and responsibility
The app is intended for adults of legal drinking age. Check the rules for homebrewing, quantities, distribution and alcohol consumption where you live. This notice is not a substitute for qualified brewing, food-safety, legal or medical advice and does not limit non-excludable consumer rights.
