It has been quite a while since we kicked off the pre-launch beta release of BrewingHub. At this point we would like to answer some important questions.

Where is everybody?

The forums are empty, the content sparse. What is going on here? This is a social home brewing site after all, no? Well, consider yourselves the early adopters, the vanguard if you will. Take this opportunity to help shape BrewingHub into what you want and need in order to brew better beer and have fun doing it. Import your recipes and start tracking your batches. Soon enough, we will have a vibrant community of avid home brewers, just like you.

Where are the tools?

Most sites provide a standard set of brewing calculators. BrewingHub aims to integrate these tools into the process of brewing rather than having them as detached tools. This removes some of the clutter and lets you, the brewer, focus on your goal -- consistency and excellence!

What about ...?

BrewingHub is in its early stages. There is a lot of work yet to be done. That being said, we did not want to get ahead of ourselves and design BrewingHub without your input. We want home brewers like you to be able to provide feedback. So please, if there is a feature you would like to see or a bug to report head on over to the feedback forum and talk about it. We are eager to hear from you.

How to ...?

There is information in the help section, but not enough to guide you through the site. We will be producing screen casts and video tutorials on brewing in general, and specifically using BrewingHub to help you brew more consistently.

In the meantime a quick primer on BrewingHub content markup can be found here

We look forward to seeing you around!
