Start a wine batch, track fermentation, plan adjustments and print labels.
Read full description
From your first batch to the final label, keep the details that matter in one place.
The Wine Maker's Companion helps home winemakers, cider makers and mead makers record what they made, follow fermentation and decide what to do next. Start with a recipe or your own plan, record specific-gravity readings, then look back at the full story of each batch.
START A BATCH
Name your wine, choose a batch size, record your starting and target gravity, and add notes. Browse curated recipes or use an existing recipe as your starting point.
FOLLOW FERMENTATION
Log hydrometer readings with dates, optional temperatures and notes. See your gravity history and estimated ABV together, with practical next-action recommendations as your batch develops. Add tasting notes to remember how each wine changes over time.
PLAN YOUR NEXT STEP
Companion Pro includes calculators for sulphite additions, back sweetening, acid adjustment and priming sugar. Enter your own measurements to see an estimated quantity before you act; the calculator does not change your batch records or perform the adjustment for you. Measure carefully and check your work before making additions.
Need a second opinion? Ask Companion Guidance a question about your batch. Pro guidance can draw on its recipe, readings, dates and notes, and you can revisit saved answers later. You always decide what to do with the suggestions.
FINISH AND REMEMBER
Mark a batch bottled, manage bottle counts and drink-by windows in the Pro cellar, then make a printable label. One label design is available free; Pro unlocks more designs and customisation.
MORE WAYS TO GET STARTED
Import recipes from links or pasted text. Pro can also turn a recipe photo or screenshot into an editable draft, search the web for recipes by name, scale ingredients and show personalised yeast recommendations. Review imported details before saving.
FREE AND PRO
Use the free app to keep up to five active batches, log unlimited gravity readings and tasting notes, explore selected recipes and make a label with the free design. Companion Pro unlocks unlimited active batches, batch-aware guidance, the complete calculator toolkit, photo recipe import, the full recipe library, cellar inventory and additional label designs.
